Charger hell!

Get a plastic box with a lid, mate - I did.

They sell 'em in Home Bargains for about three quid.

(Next to the insulation tape.)

The only problem is, the "Let's knot all this wire up so it takes him about an hour to untangle it all" elves get in and play havoc if you're not careful.

That's why you need the lid.

And a big stick to pummel the little bastards with......

Whenever we're out and I spot a full-length glass shop front, my wife says "Oh God, not again! Please don't do it......"

She has no comedy pedigree........

Not trying to be obtuse Bread, but if you really are 44 were you even born when the Harry Worth show was on telly?
I seem to remember it was on in the 60s.
Not obtuse, but somewhat pedantic.

I wasn't born when Hitler invaded Poland either, but I'm familiar with his work.....

Do you do impersonations of him too when you're out shopping in the town centre with the missus?

I bet she particularly likes the funny walk, salute and the pretend moustache....

She's fine with all that but wasn't too chuffed when I tried annexing next door's garden. (It's rightfully mine, you know....in a spiritual sense.)

And she's not too keen on my plans for dealing with our thieving postman.

He looks a bit swarthy and Slavic for my liking, so he's going in the shed for a spot of "re-education and a shower" when I get a chance.

She says he's a perfectly decent bloke but I don't trust him....

I had a postman like that once. Missus said he was a decent chap but she didn't complain when she got her new bedside lampshade.

Complete with On/Off nipple, I presume.......

Funny man was Harry Worth. Even funnier was Chic Murray. Bloody brilliant.

All postmen are thieving bastards as far as I'm concerned. It's no surprise at all to discover Hitler was actually a postman himself.

See, Mussolini got the trains running on time and Adolf sorted the mail........

There's obviously a lot to be said for having a crazed dictator organising your communication infrastructure.

If Pol Pot had been in charge of the NCB in the 70's instead of that yank fella, we'd all be heating our homes for free now......

Can't beat my postie. Always give him a decent tip at Christmas. Glad Adolf didn't deliver my post.

Is that Hess the Cat I see in the background?

Wow!

A National Socialist cat-themed pun.

You don't see one of those everyday........

Top work!

It's apparently Tuesday.

Just to get back to the chargers theme momentarily, I also having a cunning plan for checking out which charger charges what.
Starting at the plug end, I follow the wire, down past the lumpy bit until I reach the pointy end. Then I look to see what it's plugged into.

Works every time.

I thought it was the Harry Worth thread.

Thread's are constantly evolving, organic creatures which need to be fed and, if necessary, sent off at bizarre, random tangents.

On BBC 606 we once went from "Why Florent Laville should never again pull on a white shirt" to "Strawberry Jelly being potentially carcinogenic" via "Does anyone know why The Squirrel in Horwich has shut down?" and "Can you use orange juice to get blood stains out of cotton?"

All in about three hours and despite the Mods' persistent attempts to keep us on topic by deleting comments.

We ended up posting in Morse Code - I shit thee not.

Why are nearly all male cabin crew gay?
