You bought a mysterious hole in the ground, and you haven't looked in it yet?Are you the world's least curious person?
Its either a fabulous opportunity or a massive liability. Like Shrodingers Cat its currently either/both but it'll only become one or the other when I actually look inside. Once I know which it'll occupy my thought pretty much 100% for the years its going to take with dealing with the outcome of knowing that. At the moment I'm just too busy to give it that headspace. If I know too much about whats down there I won't be able to refuse it headspace. Its a project that'll be 5 years down the line (it'll perhaps always be 5 years down the line) but at the moment just as CZ hasn't got time to read a 200 page thread I haven't got time to write one. 🙂
Roman scrabble tile? (Apparently H was worth IV)
Looks like a Saxon helicopter pad to me.
Expect a visit from me soon.
Like Shrodingers Cat
Yes, but the cat could be alive, you beast! Let it out!
My vote is; elaborate pet grave. Perhaps it's the 9th pet with the initial H to die.................
Just wasted over an hour reading through the Pistonheads thread. Great stuff.
He did go on to make a *short* blog of it: http://gardenbunker.blogspot.co.uk/
And got a BBC News appearance:
I'm now eagerly awaiting further details of breadcrumb's cobbled grave and maccruiskeen's [s]rusty sewer[/s] [i]Nazi money pit[/i]
C'mon man, why haven't you got in it yet?
Surly you need to get Baldrick round to do one of his crappy TV programs?
Its strange that Richard the Third was buried exactly in a carpark.
I heard it was outside Millets, with their Winter of Discount Tents.
😀

What if a bunch of us offer to go down there for you and only report back if it's really good?
By chance two guys from the water company we just outside, so like a complete weirdo I showed them The Slab™.
They thought it was either man hole cover or a tombstone for a dead pet.
So still none the wiser.
Now if was a handy metal cover i could just open it up and I'd be down there like a shot!

Sounds like the plot of one or two films I can think of. Non of them had sequels. 🙂

Only one way to find out.
Come on, we need some resolution......
DO IT NOW!

So, like us, they guessed?
just dig a hole next to it and see what happens
I think you should send for Buffy and the Scooby gang.

this could go on a while

I think its the base of an inverted column 7,917.5 mile high.
So now you've got three options.

Yup, I was just trying to rule out the H standing for hydrant.
I'll dig next to it at some point.

eh?, get out there now in the dark and unseasonable temps with your spade, crucifix and clove of garlic.

Or see if someone from the gas company would look into it for you.....

Wtf? I've just read this, how can you not go and find out now?
H is for Hell
Peter Cushing / that other Hammer House of Horror bloke (name escapes me), wouldn't be "digging next to it at some point". Just saying
I'm not likely to head out digging now am I! Guess you'd want me to use a gas lantern too?
Another photo to show The Slab in relation to the veggie plot.

That wooden box next to the mystery object - is it the type of place a vampire would live?
- just saying like
Probably unconnected, but RIP Dusty Bin
^^Surely, thats RIP Rusty Bin 8)
Where on earth is the veggie plot in that photo and besides, that's an absolute disgrace. Do you even know how to cut grass??? 😆
Firstly the grass is rarely cut in the veggie plot as it's a pain in the arse.
See them big green leaves on the right of the photo, that's rhubarb and one of the veggie beds is in front of it. Veggies have just been planted a nothing to show yet.
Dust bin 😆 use to give me nightmares as a child. I'll not sleep tonight now 🙁
Have you done away with the pompous tw#t Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and buried him next to the veg plot as a warning to other TV gardeners?
As if we couldn't tell that already. 🙄 😆Firstly the grass is rarely cut in the veggie plot as it's a pain in the arse.
Somewhere to sit the brazier?
H is for Horse, maybe a little one that used to keep that grass trimmed?
No wonder he never noticed it before...
Entrance to a treacle mine
It's a helicopter landing pad. It's where the naughty pixie lands at night and steals away the vegetables in your 'vegetable patch'
And you thought slug pellets would work.
The slab, earlier.

Well I've contacted the previous owners of the house and asked about The Slab™
It's a bit of an anticlimax to be honest...
And???
Come on man don't keep us hanging, we need to know. I'm going for a dead cat called Henry
