hosepipe etiquette !
« on: March 27, 2006, 10:37:35 pm »
Apart from cutting someones hose or taking one off to put your own on presumably are there aren't any no nos.

Especially since the water pressure seems to be very good.

It would of course be Courteous to ask if I swapped a t piece for a 3 way connector if I can.

any thoughts

thanks

Stu

Need to leave a tap free for ordinary people to wash themselves under...

Also pressure dropped remarkably once in MB but I can't remember what caused it.

Give it a good shake, and make sure it's zipped up out of the way.
Unless of course, you're in the Audi hospitality area, where I believe it's de rigeur to keep one end in your beer...

Surely all men realise that when you get past 40 it doesn't matter how much you shake it, there's always a few drops that trickle out thirty seconds after being zipped away.

By the way H, I do hope you've given serious consideration to my offer of free colonic irrigation at Le Mans, I think you'd find it most efficacious. I mean, surely you can do without another cave-in at your time of life? There's a hell of a lot of hosepipe etiquette involved in the black (brown?) art of douchery I can tell you. I won't be using a three-way connector, unless there's a queue for the service obviously, just lashings of liquid paraffin. Has anyone got a spare kidney bowl I can borrow?

I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

It's a very kind offer Andy, and one that no one in their right minds would turn down, if you ask me. There's a 'Personal Hygiene and Rooters Detox' shelf in the Hozelok section of my garden centre, and some of the attachments do look challenging. - Who could resist the idea of a "timed sprinkler"?
To be honest, I'm a little apprehensive about what exactly might be flushed out, but with a shout of "pull!", and Albert ready and touching spittle onto his sights, we could have a right old laugh, and maybe a new Olympic event.

It's a top idea H, and the IOC are going down the right lines here by the look of it, but I can't help thinking we'll need something a bit more substantial than a trench if this colonic idea takes off at Le Mans the way I'm hoping.

Messrs Zarse and H,

Whilst driving from Orlando airport last month to a well known Floridian motor race, we passed this venue.

I have their full contact details for you both.  I'm sure they have all the facilities, appliances and devises you need.
Please feel free to make use of the screening kit.

Del, you missed the capital letters, - correctly speaking it should be "Hosepipe Etiquette". I'm led to believe that it's a new campsite, near Houx Annexe, and the ACO have the tickets available via their website.
My knees have started knocking already at the thought of it...

You're probably right, H

Better send Albert for a recce - he is more qualified to fight off the demon Hosepipe Etiquetters.
