Neighbours etc.

With this lock down scenario certain people do strange type things to fill their time in as such. My neighbour, not the Chinese one      he couldn't build a fire to save his own life the other side started bashing & crashing, cutting & sawing weeks ago here building some thing of huge proportions for his kids . Tonight I saw for the first time what it actually was & did I piss myself in a big way when I saw what it was . It's 12 ft tall, 4ft wide & I defy any one here to tell me what it is if any one would like to try & I'm that confident that no one will come near what it is I will happily put my house up as a side bet type of thing .

Well, could ascertain thousands of guesses … having not seen it.. A bit far to paddle for most of us I feel, to have a looksee... Maybe you could put up a picture … or are you scared some smart Alec would be claiming your House etc. Lol

I would if I could etc David But you forget I'm not that bright with computer's I'm here. That being said thou if I could do what you request & by chance I sent a photo of myself as a tester you could finish up having nightmares I suspect there. Now in the ball park of sorts Boosey so not bad, but just broaden your thinking process & think of what one could do with a brick in an angry type mood maybe. 2nd clue     neighbour said     when I asked, what was he was going to use it for after his kids had a ball with it. Answer       communicate with the in laws, of sorts    .  

Top stand on top and swing a bucket of oil … to catch any passing plane!

Helter skelter?

catapult,

I think you have posed a crushing question Knackered'

Regards.

That you are etc Rog Right but the bloke next door here, called it a Traversism type machine, which had me totally confused I'm but he is stock broker type & I was just a plumber & so that is my excuse for not understanding/speaking his lingo as such . Now as far as your reward goes here catch me if you can type of thing . & take care.

You been talking to my missus etc O/S it appears, because she has the same type opinion as you . That being said thou I said today to him how far do you think that will throw a brick, when you take it down the local park for your kids to try out for the enjoyment factor. Park you are kidding aren't you . So any one here, like to try a number in metres this catapult thing, will throw a brick when he delivers it to his in laws as such       by what he said to me today here .

knew I'd got it, don't know why i'm so excited, must be this lockdown thing, now about the house...….

Would be very interesting to know the actual details of this invention Knackered.

Maybe could be used as a means of delivering groceries etc;

Cannot visualise anything standing that high and that wide functioning in the manner indicated.

Always willing to learn.

Regards.

By the sound of him, Knackered, he sounds like a right big head. A man of self importance! Maybe he will fit a big posh Arm chair on top to look down on and keep an on his would be pleds lol

No argument here Daz about him being a big head type etc wife's built along the same lines also . Good parents thou so not all bad & they do allow me here to have my birds shit all over their house roof, at leisure & get a tan up there when the sun is at it's highest type of thing. Now this catapult thing he built for his kids, I actually suspect he built it for himself in some ways because of his large ego factor & because it's actually a killing machine in the wrong hands. Built from a plan, where I know not but in size & era, it's Roman thinking & will if required, so I'm told throw a brick 350 odd metres, with out wind assistance . Final tale     average type American, would have trouble paying a $400 type bill on time. He spent far more that that just on materials, for his so called toy for his kids here.

Regards.

Could stand a wee chance then Rog maybe, seeing as my missus is a reasonable type person also here. She knows well how I can put my foot in my mouth like Trump at times & is most happy to meet you half way type of thing, to bring this to a final conclusion. She keeps her scare crow & fairy garden & you take the house brick by brick tile by tile & she has given you 120 days starting from now to do it etc       as that's how long it took us to built it & then move in as such & if not completed in that time by you     the Legal eagles will become part of the picture because you didn't hold up your part of the agreement    .
