Stinking hot one morning last summer I get out of bed and go and jump straight in the pool starkers.
The neighbour is out farting around in the yard and hears me jump in, sticks his head over the fence and I quickly swim towards him and lean against the edge as we have a yarn. I start shivering at one point and he says "Mate, you should get out if you're that cold" I said "I can get out but you have to remember I've been in the pool".
"Righto, I'm off then"

I'd dare say a pool in my backyard would have it's implications.

I had a similar experience to this just last night...Booney wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Some people are just plain weirdos, I had to rip some tomato plants out yesterday and put new ones in as well as changing over a few pots of other vegies and transplanting them in the garden bed.
I went out to do it once the weather started cooling and was just in my jocks and thongs, I hear some rusting going on and noticed the couple behind me were up putting netting over their fruit trees, the weirdos waved, said hello and continued on their merry way.

Also whilst I'm here, I'm blaming the dog for the situation, as if the little **** didn't chew through the previous fast set pool I would not have accidentally bought a replacement that had a filter pump included. Necessitated further trips to bunnings for chemicals and cleaning equipment.heater31 wrote:I had a similar experience to this just last night...Booney wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Some people are just plain weirdos, I had to rip some tomato plants out yesterday and put new ones in as well as changing over a few pots of other vegies and transplanting them in the garden bed.

But it’s the selfish riders that come out at this time of the year. Riding 4 abreast on Payneham Road with cars parked in the inside lane and just swinging into the right lane without a glance is lunacy.

Yep, my sentiments exactly. I used to ride to work back in the day, it's a great way to keep fit.
But it's the muppets who rock up for 2 weeks a year that ruin it for everyone else. And on a related topic, lycra isn't for everyone...![]()
