I am supposed to be getting a new roof put on this weekend, as this one has leaked for ten years and now has bloody pigeons living in it. The roofers should be here by now, and they are not. Probably because it's pissing down, and the forecast says it will continue to do so for approximately the next twelve years.

I know it's your fault. Everything else is.

Do something, or I'm off to netmums.

One roof for t'whole village? Luxury!

When I were a lad we had half a roof on timeshare with hackney.

Tee2072 · 22/06/2012 15:58

FFS what a bunch of whingy babies!

Wanting roofs and kitchens and who knows what all!!!

I remember, when I was a lass, we had one roof for the whole village and were grateful when it was our turn!

Does MNHQ have a French Division?

Could do with some fine weather in the Vendee region next week, please.

Do they have pigeons in France?

Thanks

I think LeBof should go to NetHuns, if she was a real Mnetter she would have woven a Lentil roof, and used the pigeons to feed her little darling brood whom of course eat whatever is put in front of them, and by not paying a roofer it only cost 17 pence to do the roof.

LeBof is simply not trying hard enough.

RobinSparkles · 22/06/2012 14:21

Have you tried spraying the pigeons with fence paint? That might get rid of the buggers.

MrsSnaplegs · 22/06/2012 14:14

Well if I knew tech could fix weather I would ask him to have told school not to cancel sports day today as I have booked day off work - instead weather is fine if a bit windy
Now they have rearranged it for Monday when neither Snaplegs or I can go Angry
So tech can you fix that along with the roof an the pigeons?

It's a tax avoidance measure, surely. Double Hmm

I'm walking in the rain but the sun's out. Where's my rainbow, MNHQ?

LeBof, my DF had a peregrine falcon in his garden the other day. If he sees it again I'll tell him to send it over.

ripsishere · 22/06/2012 12:57

Maryz, you want shooting for puting that second picture up. My buttocks are clenched and I saw it two minutes ago
If MNHQ are in the business of stopping rain, can they ask tech to have a look at my area? DD is doing walking day tomorrow. What fun. A mile in the rain.

I swear, Zombie, we had this exact thread just last week.

Is the moon full?

Shift · 22/06/2012 12:47

What have you all got against pigeons? pigeons are people too....

Oh Blush well, you know what I mean Blush Blush

IamtheZombie · 22/06/2012 12:45

Security light.

Back neighbour.

This sounds familiar...

Tee2072 · 22/06/2012 12:45

Oh now you tell us! Why didn't you put that in your OP?

What else have you left out?

Of course it isn't ALL I have to worry about, Tee. The scaffolders have managed to knock my security light so that it angles right at my back neighbour.

Tee2072 · 22/06/2012 12:40

Oh, honestly. I wish I had such easy problems.

Is this all you have to worry about?

I not only don't have a roof, I don't have walls or floors either.

Some people.

IamtheZombie · 22/06/2012 12:29

Everyone needs the Dustbin?, Maryz. Grin

YouBrokeMySmoulder · 22/06/2012 12:24

Can you not glue the pigeons together to form one large pigeon and then wedge it into the hole?
