I spent five hours doing all my paths, brickwork and patio yesterday and was actually slightly sad when I finished and there was nothing left to clean. That's how much fun they are.

Anyone who doesn't own one of these is missing out badly.

Yes, my back is feeling it a wee bit this morning. Totally worth it, though. It's like having a completely new patio.

I am actually quite cross with myself that I've waited until my 45th year to buy one. £150 and it's paid for itself inside 24 hours.

Honestly, I don't think I've had so much fun since I stopped doing drugs.

Ah, so that's why we're running out of water and are all going to die.

I walked the Chess valley on Saturday and at the water cress farm some people were claiming that the drying chalk aquifers mean they can't produce enough to sell to the London restaurants like they used do. Also, people are using too much water (increasing population) and that we now have less water than Morocco, or something.

Sadly, I wasn't in the frame of mind to respond with this Eco-mugging at the time but later regretted not asking how an island with so much bloody rainfall on it still doesn't have enough water.

Anyway, we're all going to die and it's your fault by the sound of things. :thumbup:

My conscience - like my patio - is as clean as a whistle.

Anyway, what sort of a **** farms watercress? Nobody even likes watercress. It's just a garnish. They could make plastic watercress and resuse it and no-one would notice.

May I remind you of the rib of beef sandwiches? The watercress was the perfect accompaniment. A little crunch, a little pepperiness, a little freshness.

I bought the K4 at end of last year and not used it yet.........how does the wand thing click together?

You stick it in and twist it until it clicks and locks. It's very satisfying. You feel like Edward Fox in Day of the Jackal. :cloud9:

psrb listen to your uncle b here: use it. Use it at the next available opportunity. I cannot impress on you sufficiently how urgent this is.

Don't wear anything you don't want getting absolutely covered in mud, though.

I too have one. However, some of my paths are lined with gravel. My drive is also gravel but is boardered by sandstone. When the pressureised jet of water hits the gravel it goes absolutely everywhere. This kicks up various filth from beneath the gravel all over your newly cleansed surfaces.

Was there watercress? I remember some conscience-salving green shít cluttering up the plate, but have no memory of eating it.

We got squiffy on margaritas and watched United bum rape us in the cup, I recall that. Watercress, not so much.

You need to do those bits first, r. Then you can clean up afterwards.

I was concerned your last paragraph was requesting psrb to power wash in the nude for a minute

I'm fairly sure the booklet doesn't say not to do that, p.

Watercress. Also horseradish. And beef juice.

Nice.

Wasn’t it a league cup final? We lost to Leicester or someone silly.

No. It was United in a cup semi, I think. Or a league cup final. Anyway, they beat us about 3-0

We did watch the Leicester defeat together as well. It think rtfp was with us. Some bugle may have happened.

Obviously wasn't twisting it hard enough. Decking, both cars and driveway to do :-)

You can change the jet so you get one, precise jet. I have found great enjoyment in using this feature to shoot pigeons that loiter menacingly, clearly plotting to defecate on your patio the second you are finished.

This sounds exciting, r. I may have to experiment.

I used to own won a while ago.
I decided to give my parents garden a good blasting. unfortunately blew the paint off the shed door with it.

Yes. I'm a bit nervous of using it to clean my car. I know they say that with the other wand and set to 'soft' it should be fine, but I'm not sure how ready I am to risk it.

Maybe I'll test it on a neighbour's car?

I've got the special "alloys" attachment. I believe the K4 has a digital setting read out on the handle in order to avoid paint stripping

Set to soft it won't cause any damage.... do you have the attachement that means you plug the car shampoo in and it sends out the foam, good for a summer foam party imo

Yes, I do like the various drop in cleaners. I also got the special paving add-on thing, not sure I'll bother though, just blast the weeds with the wand.

I do, yes. So does that just basically cover the car in foam that you then hose off?

Blasting weeds is immensely satisfying. Smug little fúckers sitting there thinking you can't fúcking touch them and then BAM! :hehe:

No I did not. Because a/ I am not a poof and b/ I have no patio cleaner attachment.

No. I'll stick to blasting everything with my magic wand of cleanliness, thanks.

it rips the shít out of everything in its path and doesn't spray the surrounding area with ****e. All whilst cleaning the patio in a 10th of the time than with just a lance.

But covering everything with shíte is a large part of the fun.

Ah, then having to clean the area you covered with shíte?

Well, you are in the honeymoon period with it.

Wait until it stares at you everytime you go into the garage and sneerily asks you "go on then, when are you going to clean the patio, you lazy ****?"

Then, you'll wish you had the patio cleaning attachment. mmw.
