Hi Mike and welcome to the forum (X2 as you either have someone who is mimicking you, or you have a split personality).
I hadn't responded to your original post as:
a: I wasn't one of the 100+ viewers, and
b: I couldn't come up with any suggestions for waht to do with your seat.
However, I have become concerned for you mental welfare now that you are talking to yourself (but as yet not replying to yersel), so I've thunk and thunk and thunk and this is the best I have to offer ..... prepare to be underwhelmed!
Firstly, you haven't told us anything about your old man - is he a tall man? If he is, he is probably very annoyoing to people around him at ravers in that he could well be blocking their view of the pitch. We have one like that who used to be very useful in the old days of no roof over the terrace in that he provided shelter to all who were downwind of him, but now we're cosy and covered, he's just a mobile obstruction who has outlived his usefulness (sorry MUM!)
IF yer old man
IS a tall man, have you considered having a few of his spinal discs removed and the vertebrae fused for his Birthday? It may sound extreme, but it would serve two purposes ..... (1) a couple of inches shorter, he wouldn't be blocking so many people's view of the pitch, and then you could get yer seat made into the garden seat you first thought of (for father's day just in time for summer) but the back rest would not now be too short.
The other suggestion I have is to cut the back rest off completely, cut a whole in the seat and present him with a new loo seat, which would serve very useful purpose also bring many happy memories of ravers ........ as he sits there and defecates, he can think about how cr@p the stadium used to be compared to our nice shiny new one, and if he thinks back into the not so distance past, he will also think how far we have come to play the beautiful game we are playing now compared to the cr@p of a few years ago.
Now before you star criticisng me for being a bit extreme here, please do bear in mind that (a) I have responded to your post(s), which is more than anyone else has so far (apart from JB and he's just another loolabell)
, and (b) what I have written may be more of the cr@p referred to above, but at least it's not as bad as some of the stuff that my good friend baggie has written in the past few days ......
God love him, he must have forgotten to take his hat on hols and the sun has got to his cranium.
