In other news, I took the old sofas outside and had a word with them with a hammer. They complied and fell apart, however one of them put up a struggle and hit back with a piece of wood when I stepped on it and it flew up into my face! There were nails and everything!

Thankfully the alarm was quickly turned off, but not before the police arrived...
