    No, I collect houses.

    I did have one house with a really dodgy drain, but a council busy-body turned up with one of these historical preservation orders saying we couldn't knock down that corner of the house to redo the bathroom. Oddly enough about a week later the local dustbin wagon accidentally reversed into it anyway. So it got sorted at the same time it was rebuilt, with the council insurance paying the lot, and because of the preservation order, it was all the top craftsmen too.

    Which is nice.
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

      Have you tried switching it off and then back on again?
      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        1. Get a new wife/partner who is prompt in emptying the machine when the cycle has finished./
        2. Get off your @rse and promptly empty the machine at the end of the cycle
        3. Pay a housekeeper who gets off their @rse and promptly empties the machine at the end of the cycle.
        4. Do any of the above in the local laundrette.
        Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.
