Thread: Roobarb's patch

Good to see Roobarbs patch ticking along again. Sometimes things get bogged down with all the heights or lack of well ...... doors counters and stuff. Now #1 and #2 that is a whole new kettle of fish or would that be pencils.

I started reading this build yesterday, having built a number of houses in Greece where they tend to build concrete blocks i was inspired by the design. I liked the mezzanine is really good and I like the idea of extending to join. Thank you for an inspiring build.

Well I gave it some time and I STILL haven't figured it out .

Wasp here are a few more to chew on.

Back in the '70s, the #2 pencil was #1 in sales and in popularity. In 2014 it's still the hottest-selling pencil. Why after two decades hasn't it been rated #1. It just doesn't make sense at all.

If beauty is only skin deep, I must be inside out!

If I get male pattern baldness, I'd like zig-zags please.

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

If James Bond was an Amish spy, he would drink buttermilk. Shaken not churned.

If swimming is so good for you why are whales so fat?

If the #2 pencil is so popular why is it still #2?

If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand we'd be so simple we couldn't understand.

If the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, then only left handed people are in their right mind.

If there was any logic in this world, it would be men who ride side-saddle, not women.

If Tiger lost his woods, would that be an example of irony?

If tomorrow never comes, then, you're dead.

If two wrongs don't make a right, try three.

If Wal-Mart is lowering prices every day, how come nothing in the store is free yet?

If you blow in a dog's face-he'll get mad at you, but take him for a ride in the car - the first thing he does is stick his head out of the window!

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Illegal drugs are the chlorine in the gene pool.

It has recently been discovered that research causes cancer in rats.

Life is like stepping onto a boat which is about to sail out to sea and sink. - Shunryu Suzuki Roshi

Long periods of drought are always followed by rain.

Looking for enlightenment is like looking for a flashlight, when all you need the flashlight for is to find the flashlight.

Love letters, business contracts and money always arrive three weeks late, whereas junk mail arrives the day it was sent.

Man is a peculiar creature. He spends a fortune making his home insect-proof and air-conditioned, and then eats in the yard.

Man must exist in a state of balance between risk and safety. Pure risk leads to self-destruction. Pure safety leads to stagnation. In between lies survival and progress.

Most books now say our sun is a star. But it still knows how to change back into a sun in the daytime.

Be warned there are a lot more.

Sorry Roobarb

With my old man I got no respect. I asked him, "How can I get my kite in the air?" He told me to run off a cliff.

My wife only has sex with me for a purpose. Last night she used me to time an egg.

It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass!

Last night my wife met me at the front door. She was wearing a sexy negligee. The only trouble was, she was coming home.

A girl phoned me and said, 'Come on over. There's nobody home.' I went over. Nobody was home!

A hooker once told me she had a headache.

If it weren't for pickpockets, I'd have no sex life at all.

I was making love to this girl and she started crying. I said, 'Are you going to hate yourself in the morning?' She said, 'No, I hate myself now.'

I knew a girl so ugly... they use her in prisons to cure sex offenders.

My wife is such a bad cook, if we leave dental floss in the kitchen the roaches hang themselves.

I'm so ugly I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

My wife's such a bad cook, the dog begs for Alka-Seltzer.

My wife is such a bad cook, in my house we pray after the meal.

My wife likes to talk to me during sex; last night she called me from a hotel.

My family was so poor that if I hadn't been born a boy, I wouldn't have had anything to play with.

It's been a rough day. I got up this morning and put a shirt on and a button fell off. I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

I was such an ugly kid!. When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.

I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and radio.

I was such an ugly baby that my mother never breast fed me. She told me that she only liked me as a friend.

When I was born, the doctor came into the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through anyway."

I'm so ugly my mother had morning sickness...AFTER I was born.

I remember the time that I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, "Do you think we'll ever find them?" He said, "I don't know kid. There's so many places they can hide."

My wife made me join a bridge club. I jump off next Tuesday.

I'm so ugly, I once worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.

I went to see my doctor. "Doctor, every morning when I get up and I look in the mirror I feel like throwing up. What's wrong with me?" He said: "Nothing, your eyesight is perfect."

I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

Some dog I got. We call him Egypt because in every room, he leaves a pyramid. His favourite bone is in my arm. Last night he went on the paper four times - three of those times I was reading it.

My uncle's dying wish was to have me sitting in his lap; he was in the electric chair.
