I like Hammocks.

There is this set of ramps not far from our house...

Little one is gokarting down it...

Big one is at the top about to set off in a sainsburys trolley...

Little one made it in one piece..

For some reason - completely beyond my understanding, Biggest was stunned that the shopping trolley didnt make the turns and actually threw him out.

LOL !! class !!

He decided the best course of action following that was to change the tyres on his bike..

Obviously the crash and his bike tyres were linked.

Just as obviously, not being a gruntager, Im too stupid to understand how.

 

[Atesca]

Perhaps, if the bike hadn't needed its tyres changing, he wouldn't have been riding in a trolley, and therefore wouldn't have crashed?

Hi Asteca

I asked him out of curiosity if he would have rode his bike instead of the trolley if the tyres had been on.

He simply said "Bike?"...there was a pause...."What for?"

I was left with my mouth open and one finger raised as he stomped off. I didnt have an answer to that.

Irritating.

Had a couple of hours free and was hungry.

I was on the edge of some waste ground with some trees in the middle, and just couldnt resist...

I had a waterproof shoulder sack with me.

It had a meths burner in it, a tin of soup and a hammock.

Wasnt until the soup was in the can I sussed my spoon was still on the draining board.

Dont like cutting bits down, but I ended up with a hawthorn fork.

It sort of bothered me using it as I dont know if hawthorn twigs are poisonous.

Biggest found me.

I asked how. he said "I saw trees."

I must be pretty predictable.

He arrived with his huge hammock and a bag.

He is getting faster at putting it up. Only took 14 minutes and a dozen or so expletives this time.

He had a meths burner and a hobo.

He didnt have a billy can on a waterbottle.

So..he tried to get a big can of soup in his hobo stove cup.

The spillage was predictable.

After some more swearing, he decided that his meths burner might light if he actually put meths in it.

Once he had flooded his hobo with meths and lit it, he couldnt get the cup into the inferno.

I washed out my billy and handed it over.

The soup burned.

Seems stirring the empty can wont stop the soup burning on the stove.

He had another tin of soup, so he started again.

 

[No Idea]

His stove didnt have enough meths in it, so it went out.

My turn to screach as I caught him just tipping meths into his hot burner.

My stove was cool, so I got him to use that.

Finally some peace.

Well, that is until he realised he didnt like the soup and stomped off to fall over his hammock.

"Er dad....Can we go to mcdonalds?"

 

[No Idea]

He just asked "Can I have a pizza?"

But...but...its 8.30 am!

Pigging teanagers.

Its funny, but if I have a day when everything goes wrong, its bad luck, the wifes fault, whatever, but seldom ever my fault.

If the kids have a bad day its because they are horrible, clumsy teenagers.

I was standing there.

It was getting dark and trying to rain.

I wouldnt have been there if the wind hadnt been blowing so pigging hard for so long the kids had got bored.

Unfortunately, they had.

Soo bored they insisted I take them fishing.

Im not that keen on fishing.

My Idea of fishing is a trip to the chip shop.
