Good Day, Sunshine - 04.12.05
submitter: Smart Set
location:South Acton, London, UK
He got the old boiler onto the tail-lift, rose up with it, and proceeded to shove the mattress to make room. There's a second mattress above the big one. And all on a gorgeous sunny morning with the cherry blossom all around. Lovely.

Well, I'm glad we sorted that one out! Thanks, FOD, for your razor-sharp deductive skills. Thanks, Wycliffe, for your support. wim, the mattress guy *was* wearing gloves, unlike V3 and me! (And thanks for your offer of arbitration.) I am happy, because tonight I have submitted my 600th mat.

FOD40UK commented on 05.05.05

Vogon3 commented on 05.05.05

FOD40UK commented on 05.05.05
Just wait till SS finds out!Tee-hee!

Vogon3 commented on 05.05.05
Doh

FOD40UK commented on 05.05.05
See?

FOD40UK commented on 05.05.05
15" BUT his hand is by light stripe 5, not6(count'em)

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
well fod how much matt would you say (in inches) from the guys left hand to the top end of the matt

FOD40UK commented on 05.04.05
As an independant observer I see seven dark stripes(the two end ones being about 3/4 the width of the other five)the bit that looks like a seventh light stripe, top left, is probably the side of the van(its obviously a sunny day and the opaque fiberglass roof is giving it that yellow glow)So I guess I'm on Smart Set's side.

Wycliffe commented on 05.04.05
Well based on the evidence that I have here on this picture i would say that this guy is definitely pushing ergo the matt bends. As to the second picture you allude to I'm not sure which picture your talking about.

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
I see PB is now on line to check the evidence well what do you think PB

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
hey Wycliffe have you seen the evidence... I dont think so check out the two pictures and then give a honest answer

Wycliffe commented on 05.04.05
I'll back you up SS but i dont know why.

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
come on wim what do you think here is that a mat with a large curve at the top end

wim commented on 05.04.05
spit it out Vogon

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
Thats a new idea a matt that is more curved at one end to the other are you out of your mind SS I am sure you have noticed that no one has backed you up on this and do you wonder why because I can tell you if you like....

wim commented on 05.04.05
is he wearing gloves? if yes, why not?

Smart Set commented on 05.04.05
Anyone can see that the matt is more curved at the end he is pushing it. Why can't you? Anyone care to back me up?

wim commented on 05.04.05
now I am offering my services, I have to come over, please bring the matt to my hotel

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
Look I assume the matt is curved the same at both ends I thought you were just colour blind. and I'm not going to discuss this any more as I know this is not the same matt

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
its not that curved

wim commented on 05.04.05
you just made me remind all those beatles songs, good day sunshine pudumpum

Smart Set commented on 05.04.05
Are you offering your services, wim?

wim commented on 05.04.05
needing a mediator?

Smart Set commented on 05.04.05
He started it.

FOD40UK commented on 05.04.05
Vogon! Smartset!!Stop this shouting immediately!Any more of this nonsence and you'll be straight to your rooms!

Smart Set commented on 05.04.05
BUT THE MAT IS CURVED AT THE END. THE 7TH STRIPE IS THE LAST ONE, BELIEVE ME. THE ORIGINAL SHOWS THIS CLEARLY!!!

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
IF THE LAST DARK STRIPE IS THREE TIMES WIDER THAN ALL THE OTHERS YOU MAY HAVE A POINT....BUT SOMEHOW I DON'T THINK SO

Smart Set commented on 05.04.05
I know there are seven dark stripes. The tiny bit at the top end which looks like a light stripe is not one, it's the side of the van. The dark stripe is the end of the matt, for *@!#'s sake!

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
there is seven dark ones if nothing happens on the rest of the matt

Vogon3 commented on 05.04.05
what about the other 14" of mattress that you cant see the top of for christs sake

Smart Set commented on 05.03.05
See?
