After 20 years marriage, my missus told me today, that I'm terrible in bed. "How on earth can you judge me in ninety seconds?" I asked the cow
I won the national lottery last night. I haven't told the wife yet - they won't let you use a mobile phone on a plane
I read today, that Creationists - the fundamentalist Christians - believe every word that Genesis says. Personally, I don't even think Phil Collins is a good drummer.
I've invented an invisibility cloak today; anything under it is rendered completely invisible. I'm still working out the kinks (you can still see the cloak itself.)
Any plasterers on here who have a practice for dealing with plaster buckets and rinsing out and disposing of left overs Would you empty down storm drain or do you know if it's illegal etc
Contractors at 6pm tonight mixing plaster then Emptying their plaster buckets in the dark down the storm drain then emptying the last bit by my car He got a shock when I shouted out of my window to get away from my car
Ah, I see. I had thought it was DB herself who had the plaster that needed disposing of ... I was going to suggest pouring it over the contractors' vans outside her house. Never mind.
I'd never empty the washings from either plaster or mortar down a drain. Quite apart from pollution all such washings contain heavy sediment which collects in traps and U bends and blocks them. If its a local authority storm drain (as opposed to a private soakaway), especially one that discharges into the sea or a natural water course its willful contamination and you can get into serious trouble. If I've got a skip the washing can go in there. (Don't tip pink gypsum plaster wash water into an empty leaky skip, especially if its on a tarmac drive. Nothing on earth stains tarmac like pink multifinish and it never comes off). If its cement or lime mortar washings and there's nowhere to tip I'll leave it in a barrow. The sediment quickly separates and the water can be poured off to soak away into the ground and the sediment thrown away later.
It's the local authority and their contractors working on a housing property next door and an authority that's signed up to the Considerate Constructors Scheme would you believe!! So far the response to date from the authority is one of they don't care what's going on
