My lilo has sprung a leak

Post by MrPlum »

There never should have been a cactus next to the pool. Two lilos and three balls have now been impaled and sprung leaks.

Anyone know where I can buy a kit to seal them?

You could always give the cactus a haircut and remove all the spikey bits. You could then spent endless hours explaining to visitors as to how you paid an absolute fortune for a special smooth Thai cactus. You see! every cloud has a silver puncture proof lining... :D

As for the punctured lilo you could turn it into some sort of adult incontinence mat for use during advanced muscle relaxation therapy.

LONDON (AFP) – A British teenager inspired by an ancient fertility symbol painted a 60-foot phallus on the roof of his parents house, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Rory McInnes painted the giant genitalia on the newly-finished flat roof of his parents' million-pound mansion in a village 60 miles (100 kilometres) west of London, The Sun tabloid said.
But the imposing member remained a closely-guarded secret for a whole year before it was 'discovered' by a helicopter pilot flying over the area.
Contacted by the paper, his father Andy McInnes first dismissed the report as a joke.
"It?s an April Fool?s joke, right? There?s no way there?s a 60-foot phallus on top of my house," he said before ringing round each of his four children.
When he got hold of Rory, who is spending a year travelling between finishing school and starting university, the teen reportedly said: "Oh, you?ve found it then!"
The 18-year-old student said he had decided to act last year after watching a documentary about the satellite images on Google Earth, saying he thought the artwork would make his parents' home stand out.
The oversized organ is an enlarged copy of the most well-known feature of the Cerne Abbas Giant, an 80-foot (55-metre) figure of a naked man which is carved into the side of a chalk hill in Dorset, southwest England.
Clearly sexually aroused, the club-wielding giant is believed to be an Iron Age fertility symbol which has proven popular with copulating couples hoping to conceive.
But the McInneses were clearly not keen on the idea of their rooftop art acting as a fertility charm.
"We don?t want any more children, so the idea of sleeping under a giant fertility symbol is rather worrying," said 49-year-old Clare McInnes, while her husband added: "When Rory gets home he will be given a scrubbing brush and white spirit and he can go and scrub it off."

Mr P

you could try Tesco....they sell bikes and odd stuff.

The other alternative, which may well raise a smile:

At night, on the branch of the crossroads heading up to the railway crossing from hell junction, on the right theres a Thai bloke with a puncture repair stall set up to do repairs on motorbikes....maybe he can patch it ;-) :cheers:

When I took a first glance at this thread header I thought that it said

"MY LIFE HAS SPRUNG A LEAK"

and for anyone in Hua Hin with a recently leaking life I am full of suggestions, but I'm afriaid I can't help you with your lilo.

This week I was in cha am with my partners young son and we ended up in one of those stores on the way to the beach that sells vast numbers of inflatible toys.
They had a compressor and I would have thought they would also have the means of repairing that sort of thing.
If not I've now got a large inflatible crocodile you can borrow!

We really need to do some cost analysis here. Time + fuel + bodily wear & tear in this heat =? New ball = 65 baht. :idea: Pete :cheers:

Thanks prcscct,

I've been reading this thread trying like hell to figure out what a Lilo is. After the last two posts I guess it's something like a beach ball.

English is such a frustrating language for an American when you live and read and write on a forum dominated by Brits! :D :D :D
