  1. This sounds like a job for Salford's spin doctor?

    1. I use a tumble dryer and went to school with someone from Whitefield and have a friend who flooded his appartment and the one downstairs with foam by putting washing up liquid in his dishwasher.

    2. What a berk!Your friend,not you.I flooded my bedroom by jumping on my radiator and it made my living room ceiling fall through.Does that count?

    3. Yes I think that counts. You had radiators as a child? Luxury!

      I used to have an electric blanket that my did wired up wrong and electrocuted me.

    4. I shouldn't laugh at that really should I.That's terrible.

      I was 21 when I jumped on my radiator.The less said about it the better.

    5. Don't worry about my electrocution. I think that's where I got my super powers from. At least if I had them before I can't remember. Come to think of it I can't remember anything before I was electrocuted.

      Were you jumping up to the radiator or down? Either way it's quite an achievement.

    6. Perhaps the reason you cannot remember a time before the electrocution is that you are actually Frankenstein?

  3. I was arsing about and jumping from the bed to the window sill.Don't try it at home or anywhere else for that matter. I've never had to write/type the word sill before.I don't think I've seen it written down ever.I do hope I've spelt it correctly.

    Super powers! Like Batman? Phwoooor.

    1. Less like Batman, and more like 'Mr Logic' from Viz. I can spot a split infinitive and 100 metres and am not afraid to point out the difference between 'less' and 'fewer'.

      I also cracked my head on a window sill. This occurred around the time of my electrocution. Luckily, I don't think we had Social Services in those days. In fact the more I think about it... perhaps they were trying to kill me.

    3. I tell you what, if you catch me up before then I'll buy you a return ticket to London on the HS2.

    4. Do you think we will both be alive by the time it opens?

    5. Well I survived my childhood, so based on that precedent, I'm probably immortal.

    2. I know a crazy chick that did a similar revengy thing to a friend of ours.He dumped her because she is a complete mentalist so she went to the trouble of sewing PRAWNS into the top of his curtains!!! He has a seafood allergy and that will have made it all the sweeter/murderous.He didn't die but his flat in the halls of residence at Salford STUNK. I kind of felt sorry for him.They's still be there now if she hadn't fessed up to me in a drunken maniac stylee.Well done that freak.
