I Don’t Wanna Caulk or Regrout It
Ha ha!
Oh so now I have to invent a DIY job to do simply so I can say to my wife “I don’t want to caulk or grout it,” and then I’ll have to spend an hour or so doing the thing, but it’ll totally be worth it.
I’ve no idea why I added “re”. It’s been bugging me for hours.
Oh I say. You win yesterday’s internet.

With the hole they filled only a few hours ago having now had to be fixed for a second time, Rod’s repairs are evidently of a similarly poor standard to most of his recent albums
Councils don’t like unauthorised people repairing the roads as it makes them liable if somone’s vehicle is damaged or they are injured as a result of bad work.
Road contractors are supposed to work to a recognised standard. I don’t suppose Rod & his mates even know what that standard would be.
There are an awful lot of potholed roads, damaged speed bumps, crumbling surfaces etc. around my way. Now and then the odd pothole gets filled in, but usually the filling quickly crumbles away again and we’re back to square one.
The council should respond by going out on tour as Rod Stewart. If the punters sue for false advertising…
If course big Derek in his hi-vis might do a pretty decent Mandolin Wind for all we know.
MOT Legs.
3000 holes in Harlow Essexshire …. I’ll get me coat
In the photos I’ve seen Rod appears to be the only one wearing a high vis.
That’s the only tartan hi-vis I’ve ever seen.
Have you one of these @thecheshirecat?
As chronicled by our very own @retropath2 at Shrewsbury some seven years ago.
Thanks for the memory jolt I thought I’d seen something somewhere.
Repairing potholes with aggregate will only last a matter of weeks at best. Even if it is done by a gravel-voiced crooner.
Well, Sir Moderick’s campaign has worked. Having been told by the council to report them, he replied wtih “we did but you buggers did nothing” (I’m paraphrasing), and the council are now going to temporarily fill in the potholes April and resurface the road in July.

In other news, there’s a war on. But it has been a punny distraction for a couple of days.
There’s a big pothole in the road outside my office. If Rod would like to pop up the M11 with his shovel, I’ll make him a cup of tea.
I wish someone had told me that last October
