Feb 16: Stacking Stones

I have always wanted to try this and thanks to Mrs B reversing into a stationary pole (that jumped out behind her), I got to try it out with some old house bricks.

In case your wondering, they are weighing down an additional bit of plastic that i glued and Gaffer-taped to the inside of the snapped bumper.

Some of you may also like to know that Grandads box of screws (see the 8th Feb) came to the rescue again today.

Whoops! Mrs B!

[Koo]

Tee hee.. I shouldn't laugh but there are several known cases in my life when the poles... trucks and other vehicles.... even trees have suddenly emerged on my way....

[Jules]

A stationary pole... as opposed to? lol
Looks like you have a Ka there - they are notorious for taking out poles, fences, brickwork etc with their large rear ends. Hope Mrs B is ok.

[Tricia O'Donnell]

Who put the pole in the way ? I hope that the bricks work . I hope Mrs B is feeling better

[👑 AnaZad]

Uhm those jumping poles are very tricky... poor Mrs B. So good you are so understanding and creative.

[Tracy]

lol I shouldn't laugh but that is so something I would do :)

[Pam Knowler]

Oh dear poor Mrs B!! I'm pleased the box of screws came in handy!!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cool shot but poor Mrs. B. You have to watch out for those jumping poles.

[Hazel]

Those jumping poles are just soooo annoying.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Ouch!

[Henri Russell]

Oh my. I've had a run-in with those poles before. They are so annoying.

[Yvonne]

We have those same poles here. It's only a car--as long as Mrs B is okay, all is fine.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

aaah much akin to the bus stop obscured by people!!! I once read a whole load of insurance claim comments....utterly hilarious.....well at least you had fun and a pic!

[Fanny Brogden]

Expensive those poles........ mine was!! How considerate of her to provide the elements for a pic!!!

[Hazel A]

Poor Mrs B. hope she is OK, and Mr Fix-it 's repair works

[Alison]

those jumping poles are a nuisance! :-)

[Katia]

oops... :D great shot nevertheless.. ;)

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

At least you seem to see the funny side. Annoying but we've all done it!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Well, it's better than reversing into our other car . . .

[m9f9l]

LOL! Not quite the serene zen feel of most stacked stone pics!! I love it.

[Dawn Reilly]

i hate when that happens! but love that you can take a picture of it!

[Karin Hirsch]

What a funny shot. Most appropriate for the word ROCKS.

[Kathryn Marshall]

You have a good sense of humor. AND yes, those standing poles do have a habit of leaping out at cars! Good shot of your pile of "stones".

[Phil]

Ooch - poor Mrs B I hope she wasn't too shaken up.
Surprised the little people didn't get in to help you with the tape and stuff. Great stones though - very elegant :)

[Nicola Eastwood]

Nice stacking stones, great minds - slightly different setting!! Hope Mrs B's okay and you don't "go on and on" about this incident for evermore as men can be prone to....! ;0)

[Jo]

Poor Mrs B, she must have got a terrible fright when the pole jumped out behind and hit her. I hope you let her have a lie down and offered her a cup of tea and a biccie.

[ruth howell]

glad Mrs B has you to fix up her little car

[Malc Bird]

Where would we be without gaffer tape. My Mrs B took the wing mirror off when the hedge moved :)

[Ann Stenson]

I do love your take on life Mr B.....Have you ever thought of applying as a presenter on Blue Peter! ; D

[William F Boyea]

Some like to use duct tape. But I think caulking works best once it has dried. Nice shot

Thank you all for your great comments, I am pleased to say that the silly cow... sorry, Mrs Bulldog is fine and the car is now fixed.
It was also interesting to read that so many of you have had similar experiances?

@annbo interesting idea Ann!!!!!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Do you think I would apply, I may be a little to old?

@annbo @ruthmouch

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Poor Mrs.B! Everybody who's anybody has had reversing mishaps, else why are so many new cars fitted with reversing sensors??

[Kathy A]

Love that carefully balanced pile of bricks that are no doubt doing a marvellous job.

[Mags ッ]

Ohhh - poor little KA!
