Yes, didn't something follow him around Port Meirion?
We stayed there once and The Prisoner was played on a loop on the tv in our room

That sounds quite surreal ab. Like The Prisoner ????

I thought you were going to say that someone was sleeping in your garden grin
It reminds me of a time when we went camping and the tent blew away across the field ..... it's a long story but at least the dog got out of there first!

Was it Steve McQueen? More terrifying than Paul Newman ever could be

Wasn't Paul Newman in that?

It was the film The Blob, terrified me

Did you Roses? I thought the blob title was referring to one of those drinks that Yates Wine Lodges sold in the 1970s! she said revealing a misspent youth.

Good grief, didn't think of looking inside shock

Haha! grin Have you checked there are no campers still in it? I have just come here from leaving a comment on the Labour thread......think you will appreciate it, talk about apt!
Anyway, somebody will be upset at losing their dome thing, I wonder how far it had blown?
I thought this thread was going to be about the film ( The Blob ) my late Mother was scared by this film at the cinema years ago, in the fifties I think.

It sounds like you've got your very own residential airbags Annie! Your son in law could have a good point though! Get a couple more and charge campers for overnight stays! Bargain!

Ok I am hogging the forum but posted such a miserable thread thought I would try to amuse you.

Wednesday evening I felt so ill I called the doctor out, I have white coat syndrome grin so proof I was feeling realy I'll. Anyway seems a urine infection and also need blood test. Thursday morning let my dogs into the garden and slam in the middle was a tent, one of those dome like things. Each side of the garden is a seven foot fence snd st the bottom a ten foot wall. I thought - I am hallucinating , but no. Wd have storms so throughout each day it has been spot the tent , on the lawn, on the patio, on the shed base - can't afford the shed yet, up against the fences , one side then the other, concerned it would blow on my dogs but they are fascinated by it.

This morning, not my brightest time of day mentally, I went to let the dogs out and spot the tent. Opened the back door and there was the tent, against the door frame filling the exit, couldn't budge it, wing blew hard and it sort of swelled into the entrance , couldn't know close the door. So breakfast was eaten in the kitchen with two dogs crossing their legs, wind blowing through the kitchen and the blob jammed in the doorway. It did roll on it's merry way , this evening is blocking the side gate .

Ask my son in law if he thought the council would take it away, his reply? Don't be daft, they will charge you business tax for running a camping site. grin
