Robot mower?

I think the word you're looking for is 'servant'

Mind you, if we start getting the children to mow the lawn, they may get fed up & put up with the leaky ceiling in the Suede Room (there must be a reason they spend so much time in here nowadays...)

I already have one of those, but every time she tries to cut the grass she cuts the power cable with the mower.

No, but every time I wash up I break a glass, and that hasn't got me out of washing up yet. Apparently I just need more practice.

However, putting a red T-Shirt in the white wash does get you out of doing the washing.

Harrumph!

I'm a Van der Graaf Generator fanboy.
Melissia is a Magma fangirl.

There's a huge difference there!

I do like Magma a lot but I currently prefer Koenjihyakkei.

Anyhow, is that a lawnmower coming your way, Dean? Shocked
That's all very well James, but how do you ask for their CDs in HMV?

Firstly, I know how pronounce their name.

More importantly though, H.M.V, would never dream of selling anything by them!

And I have all their albums on CD anyhow... I'm just missing a DVD.

Shocked

Someone stole my idea I had today!

I was only discussing with my father this morning that someone should make "local money", that isn't affected by the FTSE and that is all correctly water marked and the like, to avoid fraud.

The cost of actually making all that money though would be a lot... and with the economy as it is, it would be hard to actually be successful with it.

It seems someone got there before me though. Cry

About lawnmowers



I have a very tight bond with one of these. Weighs enough to make big men cry and sounds like a jet taking off. But it'll last forever.

4 HP Briggs and Stratton engine (~3000 watts), 48cm cut, 60 ltr grassbox.


I think that's what I've got, Craftsman mower with B&S engine; in any case, that looks very similar to mine.
We've finally got some rain the past week so I'll have to mow the lawn soon.

That mower's got a bigger grassbox than what I've got, but I only bag the front lawn and mulch the back (lazy).

Answer - It doesn't have wheels or an engine?
