So this morning I woke bright and early (for a sunday) intent on mowing the lawn. To entertain myself whilst doing this, (cos lets face it , it is a boring task) i usualy listen to my MP3 player, so i pushed it into the pocket of my shorts, went out to the shed and got out the mower, plugged it into the mains, put on my sunglasses, slipped the ear phones into my lug holes and pressed play fully expecting Bob Marley or Johnny Cash to sing at me, but nothing. I changed the battery, tried again, still nothing.

I decided then, i would continue without music, presed the start butten on the mower, guess what? Nothing, just lots of smoke. Only one thing i could do, cut the grass with the strimmer, i know it would be hard work, but it needed to be done. So i took it out of the shed, plugged it in, presed the on button (are you noticing a running theme here) Guess what?

No, not broken, just out of the wire that slices the head of the grass. What was I to do? Nothing I could do , but a trip to the local DIY store.

So off we tootled to B and Q, and guess what? They were out of stock of strimmer wire, and cant deliver us a mower until the middle of the week (It wont fit in our two seater convertable). So instead we went out to lunch.

The outcome ids, the grass stil needs cutting, my MP3 player is still as dead as Tank tops, but on the pluss side, We now have broad band ast home. :yes:

Oh, and a word of warning..what ever you do never google the words Scat and Shit in the same sentence. (Dont ask how I found out) 88|
