Well once again the membership of this forum have got me into trouble 🙄. I found a sign making company online and thought ok I'll have a Fawlty Tower's sign made up for the door of the new cave. Then I thought I'd change it to Flowery Twats.....oh dear that didn't go down well with the site...the outcome is they don't want my business and refuse to even let me have a Fawlty Tower's sign....🙄🙃👍 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Nice job Andy, great and spacious mancave fella. Look at all that wall space for shelves to display lots of lovely aircraft models!!! Oops. It is immensely satisfying to be able to make the mancave, as a reward for doing the house I was able to build mine and its quite crowded now!!! Great work fella Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work fella Chris Hiya Chris good to hear from you mate I hope you are well 👍. I've only just started to use the cave for it's purpose but already I know it was worth the effort. The room lacks character atm but that will change given time I have plans for the walls that's why I left them bare 😉👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Brilliant, very enjoyable modelling time in the warm. I also work in mine too, so have an extra desk in there for the laptop and extra screen which makes it a but more cosy Enjoy it fella.

Noel Smith Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Andy, I can see the funny side to your Flowery Twats sign idea, but not surprised that a commercial sign maker refused to make it. I guess from their point of view they considered it was a question of their reputation being at stake making something that could be considered by many to be in bed taste. However, it was a bit harsh of them to refuse the other things you wanted made that were not questionable. On another tack, there was someone I believe that started to make spoof blue plaques stating that no one of any significance ever lived here, parodying the ones we see around. I think a dim view of it was taken by the powers that be and put a stop to it. Edited October 24, 2021 by Noel Smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My threads and posts are always designed to be upbeat mate and I often include real life stories as I waffle on. Ok not everyone is interested in what I post and I respect that also however none of my comments are ever made to offend anyone and I would be the first to apologise if I felt someone had been upset by something I had written. I have made many friends on the forum since I joined and treat them all with the utmost respect and all I try to do is make my wip threads entertaining rather than boring. There's enough doom and gloom around currently imo and I simply refuse to become part of it. Regards Andy J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anteater Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Having your sign refused made me snort! Do they cover the legs on all their furniture and only accept payment in Florins? So many ways to extract some fun, were you so inclined... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
