So what have you done today..?

I'm cheating I've a house there the last 16 years reminds me must book some flights

 

What is it about people constantly complaining about tradesmen.

Don't these people understand we have other work to get on with

 

It's a symptom of the me me me society, the country is fekked I tell ya.....

 

That's efficiency

 

Funnily enough, you get a tradesman and hand him a contract, he looks at it, looks at you and says, I ain't got time for that shit and walks off

At least you know

 

The little lady is talking about buying a place over here - we’ve been a couple of time a year for about 6 years now just the odd week or long weekend - it’s quiet bit we like it

 

Well today, I dodged the usual traffic nutters and made it to work, safe and sound.
The button that operates my heated seat is stuck so my bum was cold and it has taken many hours to reheat up to breaking wind temperature.
Tried wd40 didn't work, so its time be a mechanic.

This morning, I ordered a new shed, bloke is there now putting it up, said he should have been somewhere else but he was a pain in the ass

 

I do feel you pain, I am on your side. But you just need to put yourself in his position. Poor man is probably run off his feet, and then you keeping him back phoning him all the time

 

And English won't be his first language - give the geezer a break man

 

They take the piss at my English. Its all about juggling 3 months of work, keeping everyone happy considering you have done nothing for anyone whilst taking on more work. At the same time the van needs fixed however a wash would help the looks and no time to get a new pair of jeans and your arse needs waxed.
Hopefully everyone has a little more patience for these good decent souls trying to fix shit you can't be bothered to do
Anyone got a number for a gardener

 

This morning I have been trying to help son in law learn woman logic.

She wants a new corner sofa, the one they both like is a little bit bigger than first sought but simply requires the 6 seater dining table behind it to be shrunk to it's 4 people size then turned 90 degrees

Daughter has said she wants a different sofa but on the other side of the wall that will then require light boxes and all the tv/ariels and power cables moved from one side of the lounge to the other with channels created, replastered and re painted and of course she will not be doing the work, just so she can keep the dining table at fully open 6 person table size despite only 4 of them in the house.

My advice has been limited to....grow a pair, get her to do it or do it and put it in the bank as brownie points for a battle in the future

 

I think the problem may be that you've "spoken" to him.
Perhaps you need a middle man, a bit like this guy.

 

So did he buy a new TV or not

 

I bought there in 2003 with 3 very young kids loved the fact it was lovely and quiet we used to head there every Christmas too good for the bones as sun is scarce in Ireland !! Enjoy brettski

 

Cheers - wish we had bought earlier

 

Bet he reverses the charges

 

Made a bit of progress
