What's going on, I'm the Womble, not you.

Only for another 48 days . . . . Saturday 6th July and the smell of slowly roasting woble is getting closer and closer.

Normal life expectancy of a Womble is around 300 years,  I only have 48 days left !

I'll have to make the most out of Friday the 5th.

There's one small drawback to your plan to make the most of the 5th, I'll be there, hahahahahaha.

I dare say you're fashioning the skewer as we speak.  Bet you're taking great joy in making the pointy end really pointy, however, remember there will probably be more pain involved if it's blunt.

Heating it may make the job of inserting a blunt instrument a little easier ... if it was good enough for Edward II then it should be good enough for an aging Womble.

The tips here each have a shipping container with doors on the longest side and a sign "sales" where they put all the interesting stuff for people to peruse.  Technically no electricals but if you find something around the back (IE, tea urn) they're happy enough to part with it for a few quid :)

that was the system here till a few years ago as well. nice friendy helpfull staff. happy to jump in a skip for you if you asked them. now i need a bloody licence just to go in there.
12 goes a year, then you have to wait till the next year. i used to think i was doing my bit with recycling, but now i feel i am just just lining the pockets of some foreign multinational. i do use freecycle but i used to like finding treasure in a skip. still i do have a mate with a scrapyard. only problem is he is 400 miles away.
