Mortar, the stuff that holds the bricks together. ...

I was expecting something sexy, and instead it's all bicycles and bricks and dead cats. Bummer. I think this thread should be renamed: Things To Do With Bricks.

1) In the dead of night, build a wall across the bottom of your neighbor's driveway.

2) Learn that martial art where they break stacks of bricks with their hands and feet and foreheads.

3) Build a giant slingshot and sling the bricks right out of your yard.

4) Set them out in a circular labyrinth design. Then have a party with lots of music and beer and when everybody's good and hammered, send them out to walk the labyrinth in the dark.

Another fun thing to do is to get a hose and put it through a mail slot ... on, of course.

I swear on my granddad's grave I've never done it. Just something I heard about ... ;););)

Sir jOhn. I did warn you that if you went to live near the local rubbish tip you would not be happy...It is not your garden, it belongs to the Local Authority..so don't pretend it is yours. Have you not noticed those big trucks coming in to dump stuff?. You'll have to move again to that place near the dock...then you can complain that people are dumping boats in your pond.
Best wishes.

Seriously though, John, I've had a thought!

I could use those bricks for landfill here - how many have you got there? How much would it cost to post a brick out here to Australia? Would it be cheaper than buying second habd ones locally?

What a brick!

barber queue . . .
barber que . . .
barbecue!

Be careful what kind of mortar you use if you're going to heat it. Don't want to gas yourself or your food with something that is more decorative than functional.

Like SueB, I was a bit disappointed too: I thought it was going to be "other people's gobs". You could try that, jOhn!

(Good put-down for a heckler: keep calling him "Coach" till he cracks and asks you why; you'd heard he was having all his teeth out, and seats put in, of course.)

My mate Geoff once bricked up someones front door while they were asleep but he had mortar as well as bricks. And he was barking mad anyway. Decided he wanted to live somewhere quieter than Swinton so he moved to Blackpool...

We haven't heard from jOhn since Hull waking up time. Hope he hasn't fell in a hole full of bricks and bikes:-(

WHERE ARE YOU JoHN???

Cheers

I might be the only dumb ass here, but somehow when scanning through this first, i though jo9hn was making a brick area for people to cue up for haircuts. Glad to find out the Barbeque is somewhat different. I suspect some turkeys will lose their lives over thie Barber cue

2 ton of bricks should make you a healthy sized BBQ John. Seriously, don't give up on that idea. We have a simple brick built one in one of the old pig sties. It can be quite pleasant eating out there on a summer evening. I think next year, I might get Pip a present and buy a gas camping stove to go with it.

The theory is that we can do the burgers and whatever on the charcoal fueled brick job but rather than Pip going into the kitchen say to boil some spuds (I'd recommend pink fir apple or charlotte BTW - at least they are the ones we grow) as part of a salad mix (and this time of the year, there is no shortage of tomatos, lettuce, herbs, etc outside to pick), it could all be done more easily outside.

To drift even further... sorcha sent us some "ranch dressing". Never tried it before but it really goes well with that sort of meal!

I think its a sort of message

Look! I have brought you a bike and some bricks. They are a symbol of my love and respect.

Now we will be able to take bike rides together and build a relationship that is solid.

After all, isn't every action a plea for love....

My neighbor's son told me a similar tale. He is a 65+ retired college professor but was a hooligan in his youth.

Jackson Heights was mostly open fields when a developer decided to   put up a school on the old golf course.

Duncan (about 8 or 9) conspired with his friends to prevent the outrage. Late at night they built a wall of mortar and bricks across 37th Ave - a four lane street. The unwitting contrator provided all but the labor. No one ever figured out who did it and the school went up anyway but...

I have visions of tomorrow evening's 10 PM News with detectives surrounding jOhn's house and a large backhoe. The reporter will go on and on about missing persons and a strange midnight burial ritual known to have occurred at this address. jOhn will be chomping on apples and throwing the cores in the street while a nosy old biddie of a neighbor tells police about dead cats seen on the premises.

Close, Sinsull -- but it'll be a JCB, not a backhoe!

I've just bought a house with a nice little yard, and a giant weed farm next door. I don't think they have poison ivy. I know they have bindweed. I think I'd rather have poison ivy. There isn't much I can do about all those weeds.

jOhn, you could leave the bricks in a row outside the hairdresser.
(It's my mind, barber queue.)
Perhaps the donor of the bike thought you needed a ride.....

LJ, We don't get poison ivy in the UK but bindweed is a pain. It seems about all you can do is keep uprooting it.

We have another weed of a different sort I want to get rid of but it seems impossible - and aquatic one... Blanket weed. It's horrible stuff.
