Yes, I already almost got kicked out of the forum for that.

<closes windows tightly with waterproof seals>

I admire you for quitting, Chris. I've already lost three grandfathers to smoking-related illness.

<Takes the ball and runs with it>

Thanks, LT. Sorry to hear about your grandpas. Did they live in smoggy cities, by any chance? Just asking. I promise you shan't get a dash with the fire hose if you say "No, Chris, it really was the cigarettes that killed them."

(Chasing Bonzai) I can never resist ball tag.

Comments to yourselves, please.

Er…three grandfathers, LT? How did that happen?

Oddly enough, it didn't even sound wrong to me. Of course, I have more than one family and several siblings in each of em. I suppose I assumed it was something like that but a couple of generations up...

Cities wouldn't be smoggy if all older people in smoggy cities became terminally ill. All three smoked! What a coinkdink.

Denial!

Denial!

Denial!

<puts on raincoat>!

That seemed an odd line of logic there DAFW. And possibly could have been done with a little more sensitivity, seeing as we're talking about *real* people here.

<Gets out the discipline bat>

I don't mind the lack of sensitivity, but don't understand why our Daffy thinks that old people cause smog. As an old people myself, I will admit to causing mayhem, bad smells and crimes against fashion, but not smog.

(Turning firehose on Skid)

Just in case there's any truth in the second-hand old person rumors.

Even when damp I don't cause smog, so all the dousing will do is make me smell musty as I dry out!

My computer beat me at chess, but I won at kickboxing

Well, we could roll several meters of plastic sheeting down a steepish, smooth slope (honestly best to avoid thistles!) add some Fairy liquid and turn Chris's fire hose down that instead? Any takers? Oh also, very important - warm sunshine!

Pick me! Pick me!

Done - Martin gets first go down the cool slippery washing up slide! Bagsy second shot!

Oh dear. This is somehow going to lead to my getting sued, isn't it.

Only if we break somegthing!

Like the water restriction rules... Better have it somewhere wet anyway. Ireland?

India.
