Overheard in the office ...

an Awl is a protective device to reduce the chance of hitting your thumb and index finger with a hammer in the same way that a saw is designed to protect yer teeth. Nibbling planks in half can eventaully cause gum problems.

Now that is being facetious.

Anyways, guy has now done a very complex series of rotations of the packaging for this blind. Methinks he is trying to gain some inspiration. There again, maybe it is some conjouring trick or strange Russian black magic incantation?

Hmm, he's put it back down now and is back at the workstation. Maybe he's Googling up 'how to install a blind'?

Well I wouldn't follow Threaded's advice if he thinks hammering in a screw is the correct way to go about things.

Have you noticed how all the village idiots: Chico, Milan, Threaded, Mailman think they, and only they, are privy to special knowledge? That could be the primary definition of a fool.

Or a Tool?

A nun is sitting in the bath when suddenly there's a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" she shouts cautiously.

"It's ok Sister, it's the blind man" comes the reply.

The nun thinks about it for a moment and decides, as he's blind, he won't see anything, so invites him in

The man says, "Nice tits Sister. Where do you want the blinds?"

It's a joke on Manchester, do try to keep up with the threads.

"Chort, I've lost a screw." (Partially translated)

Beginning to wonder how much this blind installation is costing. Guess he's still cheaper than getting a Dane in to do it.

After dropping one of the pieces, a long length of aluminium moulding, several times, with a rather large clanging noise, each time, the manager came in and said "Threaded, won't you give him a hand?"

So I started clapping. Isn't it great being a contractor?

Then took me 5 minutes. Most of the five minutes were spent in retrieving various parts from where they had shot off too, getting some tools from my bicycle and an ice pick from the canteen.

So now it is done, and the show is over. Have to get on with some work now. Maybe.
