She's right cheeky. It is my garden, it's not immaculate but I did paint the fence a few weeks back?

The foxes hang out in the rather overgrown bit behind the fence but can usually be found lolling around on the grass first thing in the morning. They usually scarper as soon as I open the curtains but this wee guy was so intent on gnawing at his itchy butt that he stayed put a while.

Anyway, a question for you.

Where's Spongebob?

Easy! In a pineapple under the sea.

Smartass! You're disqualified!

C'mon now - where's Patrick then? He and Bob are on their hols in the same place.

Well done, westbank (and welcome to the forum) - York it is!

I had this one of Bob lined up as the final clue.

Oh, I didn't realise you'd been to Berlin, Poppy

as a wild guess I would say that you were in the drawing room of sleddale hall, that one that was in Withnail & I

did you have some of the finest wines known to humanity?

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 29 Jun 2007, 10:57

Looks like an impossible place to me, with nothing to eat, freezing cold and probably a madman on the prowl outside.....

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 29 Jun 2007, 10:58

could always warm it up with some fuel and wood

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 29 Jun 2007, 11:05

The lighter fuel? Think someone drank it.

Yes, and we installed a fucking jukebox.

(Good guess by the way, although I just realised that clicking on the pic gives it away slightly.)

What a wreck of a place. I presume people take bits of it (like half of the door behind you?) away as mementoes?

Did you take owt or did you leave your mark somewhere?

Nice hat, btw. You look lush!

A bone fide Joppa jobbie ?

True enough, Nelly's a total jobbie if ever there was one.

It's on the A697 near Greenlaw. I have passed it few times but this is the first occasion I had a camera with me. The owner, a retired gentleman, is as you might imagine a bit of an eccentric. He was wearing Hawaiian shorts the last time I saw him. A few weeks ago he had an Elvis shrine but that seems to have gone. I think passing tourists offer to buy some of the stuff as souvenirs.

Eccentric???

I think you're being a bit polite there. It is a well known fact that blokes from the Borders get nuttier as the years roll on.
Anything could have happened. He might have held you prisoner in his colourful outbuildings ( I swear, I can see someone's face at one of the windows!) or drugged you and put you in a gnome suit, shoved a rod in your hand and sat you on an oversized toadstool.

You be more careful next time you venture South. Promise?

Gretna or nearby? Dumfries & Galloway region. But he supports a footer team from The Other Side!
