Strange creatures
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Folks, I would like to share a thought or three with you.
Over many years of tinkering with cars, I have bought countless amounts of 13mm and 1/2" spanners and sockets.
They go missing, so I buy more, and they in turn go missing.
I have had several ideas as to why
1) A burglar that breaks into garages and steals said spanners and sockets. Unlikely, as they would nick everything.
2) Jackdaws. A bird that likes shiny things, but why 1/2" sockets and spanners?
I have come to the conclusion that there is a strange creature that lives in the dark recessses of the garage that takes and hoards them.
I spoke with a psychiatrist at great lengths abouth this very subject, but he was not able to give me an answer. He did give me some very nice 'smarties' though, which I thought was very generous.
When we moved house, I cleared the garage, which involved shifting an old chest freezer.
Underneath the freezer were half a dozen 13mm & 1/2" spanners and sockets!
Proof!
I have garage monsters! Funny thing is though, the bu**er has followed me to Hampshire.
Does anyone else have similar experiences?
I have a feeling that the 'monster' in question is also responsible for stealing socks from the dryer and draining my beer stocks.
