Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

You could fix/change some taps. Stop wasting money.

You could fix/change some taps. Stop wasting money.

The taps were dripping when I moved in. So I changed the washers. That helped, but it started again. So I checked inside and saw corrosion and did 'phoning around and got mixed messages between the plumbing supply shops and the manufacturer. Some said I needed to buy a £40 re-seating kit and some said I needed a £36 set of internals and some said I only needed to change the washer and the manufacturer said "these taps don't use washers" and I should buy new taps from them.

So I 'phoned the letting agent for advice and they said they'd get the landlady to send a plumber.

Right then, new day. Much happier today; no sign of the black dog yet.

Up at 6 again. Had my cuppa, restarted my broadband (it rained in the night so it went down), rebooted everything just in case, posted some waffle on here, quick glance at overnight email and applied for a gig already.

Now I've got a new domain and web site to play with, which has lots of lovverly toys (databases and WordPress and phpBB and stuff), I can amuse myself with brushing off some web-skills cobwebs

Thats a far better plan

And then knock one out, right?

Crack one off - that should cheer you up.

What is it with the self-pollution enquiries?

Is there a need for a "Five-knuckle shuffle updates" thread? I shall not be contributing, however.

Whilst I am quite content providing deep and intimate accounts of my bowel movements (remember CODSABS from chemistry?) I do not feel so happy to oblige in this other area of particular interest.

I could go on about the development and peeling of the dead skin patches on my legs, the stuff I find up my nose or under my fingernails, detailed accounts of joint pains and miscellaneous funny twinges or other sundry matter with consummate glee.

But if your need is for prose on rifle polishing or bishop bashing bombastics, may I suggest you seek an alternative source? A teenager, mayhap? Or, indeed, a bachelor.

But there is little point being desirous of onanism updates from a bloke ... whose wife works from home.

No, opportunity, you see.

I had no idea you had company. Have you tried 'licking the chutney spoon'?

Because the plumber came yesterday, I couldn;t see a need to get dressed today.

Postman just came with a package. Had to answer the door in my dressing gown. Again.

He rolled his eyes this time.

I really must get in the shower and get a haircut.

haha i love it when that happens, spend all day ordering stuff from ebay, dabs and firebox then a few days later and every day for a while after you get deliveries, parcels and lots of goodies.

Our postie always arrives around 8:30am, im always still in bed, arrive at the door in hastily put on shorts and tshirt with hair that einstein would be proud of, followed by a cup of tea and the unwrapping of geeky presents ceremony.. ahh those are great days..

[RichardCranium]

I've run out of milk.

So I've got to go to the shops.

So I've got to get dressed.

So I've had a shower.

It's all just jobs, jobs, jobs.
