| Sorry, this was as good a shot as I could get much strife...this one is a lovely shade of olive green partly owing to it's obvious long standing inhabitance in The West and partly to it's position under a leaking downpipe. Took me several looks to identify it. |

| wim commented on 04.20.11 | | I must have been out, like yesterday ending with a 10000 year old tooth in my fisk and a head-ache this morning |

|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 07.21.05 | | This property has just had a new fence too! Excellent value at £14.99. Comes with a lovely shower too! |
|
|
| SSP commented on 07.21.05 | | I wonder if you'd be interested in another one of the properties currently on my books. With this one the gentleman is looking for a quick sale due to problems with local perverts. Convenient for pub. £14.99 freehold. Ref SSP0002 |

| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Goodnight. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Ok, Bye. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | That's all right, then. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Clumsy. Goodnight, Smart Set! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Yeah, I know. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Yes. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Where?! After goodnight? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Missing comma, there, ND. Goodnight, Nancy Dumpling. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | To be fair, it's a better mattress than this one! But still...all those comments....? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Have you ever ploughed through all the comments on "masonic"? They aren't earned either, but that's just the luck of the draw. I don't know why that comment came up twice, but it takes you nearer 100. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I really am going to bed now. So, best you say goodnight in about 5 minutes. Goodnight Smart Set! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Pleased. But clearly not earned. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Why has that come up twice?! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Do you reckon Mattress Misters would let me submit new "fence" as long as I managed to get a bit of matt in the shot? A kind of update? |

| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Do you reckon Mattress Misters would let me submit new "fence" as long as I managed to get a bit of matt in the shot? A kind of update? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | I hope you're pleased with all these comments, ND. That must make up for being called a pervert. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I mean, why would you bother to hide it (from perverts)? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Re "cheap fence" - that's so pitiful and sad and hilarious. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Damn it. You're right....I thought it looked odd but couldn't be bothered to be bothered. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | The funny thing is, I've driven past since and he has put up the white piece of "wood" (on top) as a barrier across the garden so you can't see the mattress! Like a cheap fence! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Memo to ND: check spelling of "epitome" ;¬) |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | An experience like that would have put me off mattress hunting for good. The guy was obviously deeply ashamed of his mattress and unkempt garden, and needs counselling.
Oh, well, if he does anything to you, we know where he lives. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | "Innards" is my word for this week (you have no idea how much I have been able to use it) but I reckon "shouty" might be getting it next week. I do like "shouty". |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | That made me laugh!! The epitomy of Knowle West! But, to be honest, I didn't notice what he was wearing. I was worried he was going to find my car and do something awful. Me and mum are a little concerned about how our kerb crawling antics might be perceived....especially up West - only a matter of time before we're pulled by the rozzas I reckon. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Was the shouty man wearing a food-stained string vest? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Nice one today though - dark and moon going on. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I apologise now for my typos in previous comment.... |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | This was in mn early "scared" days. I took my camera to the shop, just in case, and as I drove back, I spotted this skanky specimen. I was poking my head around the hedge to get it and the owner came out. I tried to explain but he just kept shouting that I was a pervert and "everybody, look at this pervert who's taking photos of my rubbish!" Peeps in pub opposite were amused...he wasn't quiet. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | That's one more mattress than I got today! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Goodnight, young FOD. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Let's have the full juicy story of the "pervert" remark, Nancy. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Not gone just yet. Bit of cold swede to force down. Only got one mattress today....was in Bradford again but this time my colleague had his wife with him in the car so was a bit tricky to make him make sudden stops.... |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | I think I'll join you Nancy(metaphorically-of course)G'night all! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | I will wait until I'm sure you've really gone before saying goodnight, ND. |
|
|
| teacher commented on 06.15.05 | | Even rhetorical questions need a question mark, psychobabble. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | G'nite ,Jimbob |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Goodnight! (Any excuse for more comments). Well, my roast dinner is almost despatched so I will be making my farewells imminently. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | what DO you mean!!! Off out with the mutt, g'nite! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | This was where I got the "pervert" comment.....The West is really a car window shot kinda place.... |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Sometimes a very ordinary picture gets loads of unmerited comments, eh, pb? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Thats v that's...he's a shocker. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Oh christ....not again. HOW RUBBISH AM I?! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Sorry....I'm tired (and slow). Your teacher point has been noted! IT'S clear he needs some more lessons..... |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | Apple pies? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | and it's appies when it belongs .....have I been using the ' willy nilly? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Nancy, seeing that "teacher" appears to have gone to bed, may I point out that "it's" means "it is". :¬) |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | NO!! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | You are so right. But somebody please make it 60!!! |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | So its not getting any more from me |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Oh, I see. Very clever. Not IN THE FRIDGE. Be far too cold. And cramped. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | This submission deserves no more comments! |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | 'HELP' I'm so ecstatic! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Oh well. Life's a steak. Then you eat one. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Teacher....just noticed a missed comma in my description....clumsy. Apologies. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Well, your "HELP - I'm thinking along the same lines as SS!" carried an implied insult, surely. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | ND, didn't you realise its National 'Save a cow' week? (not eat a cow week!) |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Where else?! 3 minutes in the microwave...perfect! Munching that then the mattress gets it. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | Shame, SS - didn't think you would need to stoop to such personal insults |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | Not in the fridge! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Bloody starving. Am sharing the beef with the aminals. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Should be a significant improvement, pb! |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | +me! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I had made the move. Then I found a roast dinner in the fridge. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | HELP - I'm thinking along the same lines as SS! |
|
|
| Headmistress Nancy commented on 06.15.05 | | Assuming you are boys. Clearly you never can tell! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Nancy, I thought you'd toddled off to bed. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | thought you'd gone to bed Nancy, it's late and there's cats to look after |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | Good evening,SS.PB's walking the dawg,and you've just missed Nancy-she's gone to bed. |
|
|
| teacher commented on 06.15.05 | | oi vai iz mir! |
|
|
| Headmistress Nancy commented on 06.15.05 | | Come on boys! No fighting now.... |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Look it up. |
|
|
| teacher commented on 06.15.05 | | 'Oi' please define...! You are slipping, Smart Set |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.15.05 | | Oi, lower-case teacher! I choose my words with care. If I write "discreet" I mean discreet. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Awwww. Thanks! |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.15.05 | | 33! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | This skanky mattress does not deserve 32 comments.... |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Yeah, yeah....cheeky! |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | ...and for the cats..? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I did have to have it adjusted loads at the start...couldn't get the body mass sensor quite right....!! |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | I wish our neighbours would upgrade! (or get rid of the cat) |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I have so many matts-in-waiting, I can't wait...it's so frustrating! Sorry, Mattress Misters, I know you are doing your best! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Bought a cat-proof alarm! But ND (the feline version!) is a little plump and has been known to cause a little bother |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | you set off the alarm but the cats don't...? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | S**t, I can't write. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | I know...wel dodgy - I set the alarm off and had to ring the company and explain....obviously they found it all rather amusing...tragic. |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.15.05 | | lots of break ins in West London occur as a result of cunning thieves using a fishing rod to hook the keys off a table and unlock the door - so be careful down there in 'Bristle' |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Sibings?!!! Awww god... |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | Ginger Dave is a she!?? That's too cool for words!! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.15.05 | | That's ok - feels like 5 of the little blighters sometimes.... what I am about to tell you is true - Tony (one of ND's boy sibings) locked me out tonight - my phone rang when I was on the doorstep so Tony heard me outside, came running down to see me and whilst I took the call, he began to play with the bolt....well when I tried to open the door, he had managed to slide it right across....I had to do my contortion act with a stick to fish the back door keys off the rack and let myself in....no scampi for a week. |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | I've just finished, 2-10 shift this week! |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.14.05 | | Yes, ND, some blokes might, sorry about enlarging your family (- I'm still working!) |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | Nancy's a cool name-but not very masculine!(tho' my cat-Ginger Dave is a she!??!) |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | Darn those clever links!Its all that DVD Dans' fault-he showed us all how to do them,way back when!! |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | Ahh...sorry. It must be a girl thing....I find it funny that this cannot be ascertained! Would a bloke call himself Nancy on a site like this?! (3 siblings) |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.14.05 | | Nancy Dumpling is a cat - right? Who looks after ND - her parent right? So - what is the gender of the parent who looks after ND and her 5 sibs...? (and who also takes the pics...!) |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | 'is your parent a Ma or a Pa cat'?...Huh? Please explain. I have just got home from work and am a little confused... |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.14.05 | | FOD, those monkeys are getting ya - the clever link ain't working |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | Nope!! |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | OOPS! That didn't work!!!?! |
|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | I say this works for me!! |
|
|
| psychobabble commented on 06.14.05 | | Nancy D, I must admit I am not keeping up with all of the mattexchanges that have been whizzing across my screen, but I was just wondering 'is your parent a Ma or a Pa cat'?...not that it 'matt'ers of course |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | I think it's fair to say, I am getting more shameless as time goes on - this weekend's hunting resulted in some serious daughter bravado in front of Nancy Dumpling's Mum...well, you've got to, haven't you? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | I have been called a pervert more than once and one of the car window shots came after I had been moved on twice by the owner, his mate and a big dog - he didn't buy my story about thinking my friend lived in his house...ok - not good, but faced with a slobbering rotweiler, it was all I coud think of.... |
|
|
| teacher commented on 06.14.05 | | please clarify 'discreet' or 'discrete'? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | "As a newcomer I am still a bit scared that people will come out and beat me up for taking pictures of their house." ND, I've been doing this for six months now, and I still worry about this. But you can minimise the risks: 1. If there are people around who obviously live at the house and look very unfriendly, come back later. (Someone in a warehouse once told Vogon3 to "f*** off out of it"). 2. If they look friendly, ask if they'd mind terribly if you took a picture of their lovely mattress. No one I've asked has said no. 3. If there's no one around, don't take pictures from right outside the front window - shoot from an angle. 4. Shoot from your car (I see you've done this already). 5. Be quick and discreet. 6. If you're seen, give a friendly wave and make a calm, unhurried departure. 7. If you hear an angry yell, just the unhurried departure. I've only had two instances of owners actually coming out of their house to ask me what I was doing. The first was a bit snooty, but polite. The second was just curious, and turned out to be very friendly and interested. If you tell them about the website they seem to accept it as a good enough reason. I think if you're friendly and open, people respond positively to that. Having said all that, if some nutter takes violent exception to your very presence on their manor, have a good getaway car. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 05.26.05 | | Thanks. First in a long line to be discovered up "The West" methinks..... |
|
|
| Salinger commented on 05.26.05 | | you're right. it's not a striking matt, would have been easy to miss. well spotted. |
