So...what examples of winning the swings and losing the roundabout have you got?


Good question there dubster. :cool2:


Debating on responding honestly....

Well?

She was driven out of her home town, for being a witch, and so she wandered. Eventually finding a folk who made her seem fair to their eyes, So she settled there .

I heard she actually ate several people before she was 'driven' anywhere. You've all be warned. :coffee:

A few days ago I happened upon a workmate pushing a large barrow of water down to a Gosling enclosure. Seeing that his hands were occupied I swiftly heaved a load of it straight in his face. He was soaked :) My how I chuckled :D

Yesterday I was called to the stables to replace some high level strip lights. As I finished the last one I heard my previous victim say, "cheers, now for why you're really here". I looked down from the ladder and saw him holding a hose pipe. His workmate was equipped with a large bucket of water. I did attempt to leg it off the ladder and through the back exit but there was no chance of escape...Drenched from head to toe... :(

Not so much gaining on the swing and losing on the roundabout as getting a good laugh only to have it repaid in kind... but still vaguely on topic. ;)

I thought something dirty was about to happen in the stables...I was really getting into that actually.

You big tease.

Possibly...

Or it could just have been your use of provocative word combinations such as "his hands were occupied" and "I heaved a load of it in his face". Not to mention "his workmate was equipped".

Ah shit...I'm off again.
