Neighbours child has kicked six footballs over my fence in the last week. I have put them all in buckets of disinfectant to kill germs prior to throwing them back. With the clothes shops being closed at present WIBU to saw the balls in half and make bras out of them. Times are hard dontchaknow.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/05/2020 11:53

Don't suspend me!! 🥺

Thaddit · 10/05/2020 11:53

OP has been experimenting how to attach the ball cups together. Gorilla glue didn’t work. Have to find something to lash them together. Next doors football net looks promising. I will climb over and half inch it after dark.

I don't know you, I don't know you.

Stealth boast that you could fill a half football with one of your boobs.

A tennis ball would do me fine.

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/05/2020 12:02

But Frog if we get a size bigger nobody will know it's balls and not boobs!

DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/05/2020 12:03

I don't know you either Thigh!

I don't even know myself

Theweasleytwins · 10/05/2020 12:05

LOl at golfball bras!

You could be a nice neighbour OP.
You could call over to the nicest little Lads in the world who live next door to you
“Hey! Nicest little Lads in the whole wide world! Do you want your balls back? I’m not nice enough to keep them.”

They won’t tell you to shove them up your arse because they’re nice.


Nicer. Than. Anyone. Ever. Fact.

Thaddit · 10/05/2020 12:14

Nighsaystoefall what a charming user name

OP posts:
DanglyTasselsOfThigh · 10/05/2020 12:21

Love the username Nigh

Do you know anything about PARADES? Or when they might be? Has anything been leaked yet?

Love. From. Uncle. Dangly

Nighsaystoefall · 10/05/2020 12:22

Thank you, Thaddit. That's a nice thing to say.
I'll order a bra, ping pong sized for me, ta.

NithestOfAll · 10/05/2020 12:22

Because I'm very, very nice, (although this often goes unrecognised), i would disinfect their balls and return them with some sweeties for the little kiddies. I would also let them play in my garden by taking down a fence panel or two. They need to have a good run around, screaming. There's a pandemic on, doncha know?

Nighsaystoefall · 10/05/2020 12:25

Parades you say, Uncle?
Meh.
I think the Government advice is no showing off until we have a vaccine against niceness.
I'll volunteer for the trials, I'm riddled with niceness.

Thaddit · 10/05/2020 12:30

Anyone remember ‘jetballs’? found some of those out there too. Starting a range called Tiny-Tit-U-Like.

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh · 10/05/2020 12:35

I like the idea of lining them all up and stabbing them. I'd put one in front of the others and stab it first as an example to the rest.

Nighsaystoefall · 10/05/2020 12:40

You could plant them and see if you sprout premier league players.
Don't plant too many in a small space though, you'll end up with ickle teeny tiny crap Subuteo players.

My mum lives next to a school and gets scores of balls over the fence each week. Maybe there's a business to be started here! Though a lot of the balls are those silly foam ones (cause schools are very H&S conscious nowadays and we can't have the kids getting hurt) so DM will have to collect a few more balls before she can consider a start-up.

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfThigh · 10/05/2020 12:42

The foam balls could go into padded bras! Diversify!

Disfordarkchocolate · 10/05/2020 12:42

Be very grateful they don't own a pogo stick. The noise can drive you insane.
