20081105 - If at First...

...you don't succeed, set fire to it!

Phah - I thought I'd go to the foot of Penhill to get the 'bigger picture' of the bonfires, but I got there and found myself in a pea-souper!!! Bah. Worse still, I didn't take the picture I saw in the fog! Was too worried about how to turn the car around and go back.
So, then I went to look at the bonfire I was trying to see from Penhill, but I think they'd finished, or not started... there wasn't much there anyway.
Instead, I got some Durham readies out of the hole-in-the-wall and came home to do a DIY job :-P

I'm guessing you were once a boy scout.

Hope those are not crisply folded tenners from the "hole-in-the-wall" that you are torching!!

LOL! Quitters never win and winners never quit. But those who never win AND never quit are idiots!

You're Arthur Brown, and I claim my £5!! Hope nothing went awry and that you're still around this evening to post another PaD offering, hopefully one which is less life-threatening.. :o))

Why am I thinking, "Vanity of the Bonfire" (or is it "Bonfire of the Vanities") all of a sudden? :)
Sam Stevenson06-Nov-2008 02:04
:-) Hope the conflagration didn't get out of hand!

It's all Guy's fault, he should have done what he did in July & you wouldn't have a foggy problem...did you have to burn your house down to prove a point though ??? ;>))

Have you got a bucket of water handy?

Ahahah, once again, your personal homely bonfire is the best of all! I had a good laugh! :)))

Hmmm, I can't decide if this is more or less drastic than getting a bigger hammer. Great image though.
Lee Rudd05-Nov-2008 22:03
