my mum says "what goes round comes round" ie. the good you do to others returns to you, as does the bad!
In this case she's right :cheers:

There is some question over on NEEPS about why my cars have both broken down in the last two days.

The suggestion has been made that I have been hit by the Stonehead curse.

Apparently just visiting your property is enough to destroy all working vehicles in the vicinity :shock:

So - my question - is it you or your land? Perhaps eminations from the stone circle?

It's the wee folk. I suspect that in opting for a low-energy, organic lifestyle we're encouraging more of them to move here and the more of them there are, the more they interfere with technology.

And if you visit us, then a few of wee folk hop aboard your car and wreak havoc with your technology in ways that mechanics can't understand. Just ask Baldowrie...

OH YES!

Personally I tuck garlic in my knickers, a crucifix round my neck and stash any other talisman around about my person when I visit :wink: :lol:

Watch it, it's non smelly garlic!

Ah, look no further than Baldowrie for putting the idea in my head in the first place ;) D'ya reckon that if I leave out a saucer of milk, the wee folk might leave our technology alone? Or will the cats get there first?

Welcome to my world. Only it is me nagging No1Child as to where he left his homework, No2Child to please go and put some knickers on, No3Child to lay still while I change her nappy, talking to Nanna on the phone, and trying to check and see if anything important came thru the ether online overnight :lol:

Yeah, a bottle of water would probably have made great assistance in the first vehicle breakdown, but yesterday's brakes will only be made better by complete new brake ... erm .. linings? pads ? what do brakes wear?

It's like all the sightings the cats are just too illusive.

I believe they are out there though. Stands to reason when the laws were tightened on the small zoo's where did all the big cats go to?

Sorry Stoney I couldn't resist :oops:

Oh blimey I can tell I am in for some 'bashing' from a mad axe murderer :?

:mrgreen:

Of course you all know about the full moon and the Stonehead curse don't you??? :shaking2:



ducks for cover and runs, well more like hobbles actually

I saw one when I lived down in Bucks. Probably about 18 years ago now.
