Soooo it's OK if the county dump pollutes our water, the county has no money to clean that up. But if a farmer has a well that hasn't been used in over a year, some county yahoo is going to come tromping through the weeds, find it, and demand that it be properly capped. I just got a letter from the county about this yesterday. But now, thanks to my buddy YP, I know what to do about it. I have a basement. I have a cot. I have a padlock. Thanks for the inspiration.Jan Blawathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697621979002856884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-61849582585303039202010-09-02T01:56:54.791+01:002010-09-02T01:56:54.791+01:00Chortle.

Poor things.<br /><br />But I got cross when the dispenser in Queenstown wouldn't accept my credit card and the note I stuck on my dash was ignored. Forty bucks!

I'm tired of using gas and having to navigate what feels like an obstacle course for two measly miles and then have to find a parking spot.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532215042953620628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-87127169499196119632010-09-01T19:11:25.462+01:002010-09-01T19:11:25.462+01:00Do you mean you have to pay them cash on the spot?...Do you mean you have to pay them cash on the spot?

The only cost to the council are the bloody machines that take our dosh.<br /><br />As for the gutter gestapo, I can think of just one in the last few years who let me off for being five minutes late getting back to my car. Must have been his birthday.Shooting Parrotshttp://shootingparrots.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-66183970812971561152010-09-01T16:21:28.143+01:002010-09-01T16:21:28.143+01:00Great idea, YP.
