You'd think of the thousands of people he has met over the last few weeks at least one of them might bring it up.

Delighted to hear you are doing your bit for the community as well as the environment. I am living in a community on a gowf course where many Lionels feel the organisation is best left to them, hence they are frittering away a €2.4 million settlement from the previous hotel owners on petanque courts and cardio-equipment where the manufacturer omitted to include any resistance, and in the month I’ve been here I’ve yet to see anyone petanquing..justinr73 wrote:ColinM wrote:We are tackling this issue by reducing the crowds on a week by week basis.

Personally, I'm one of those who can't be arsed getting the deposit back so, unless it's worth adding to my collection, I'll gladly cast my drinking vessel aside.
The fact that the deposit is then invariably retrieved by a young wee scamp who will no doubt proceed to spend it on booze, fags, football stickers or Haribo (or whatever young wee scamps spend their money on these days) leaves me with a warm glow inside.
Lionels, eh¿¿
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

They now do seem to have them conveniently positioned on garage forecourts. However I'm told those ones are made foolproof, so there's probably all sorts of sensors in there that you'd need to bypass before you could really dìck about with them.Rooster wrote:I've often wondered if you car battery was flat would a quick zap from one of those jump lead machines work.BR wrote:Is cardio equipment those toys they have in gymns or the jumpleads they have in hospitals?BaggyTrousers wrote:Delighted to hear you are doing your bit for the community as well as the environment.

Re: Here's something waaaaay off topic.
Another question for Baggy. If you're in Spain, surely a petanque game should be playable on just about any bit of land. I thought special courts were only required in places where the grass is too lush and the ground too soft, like here.

While at Clermont match back in December 2016 brought this back. You had to buy 30cl Plastic cup, before buying tickets to allow you buy beer!!!!
Part of an on going EU directive to save the planet and prevent alcoholism. I mean queueing up each time with a 30cl thimble, you needed six cups each.

If everyone has their own cup then banks of self service taps must be the next opportunity to remove one of lifes human interactions. Not that the interaction with Mount Charles staff is particularly uplifting.

100% of the touch screens, McDonalds have installed for customer use have been found to have faecal matter on them.
I was reminded of this yesterday when someone passed me on a book they wanted me to read.
I thinking about getting reading gloves.
