      Exactly. Why just fix the problem when in just twice the time it would take to fix it, you can cobble together a complicated and possibly dangerous work around instead

        No idea, sorry.

        Can't see East very well coz of the hill in the way.

          My understanding is that it's a combination of deteriorating plumbing and poor personal hygene due to loss of fine motor skills.

          It's tulip getting old, as far as I can see.
          You're goddamn right.

            Indeed.

            Why it's only taken me 3 weeks to figure out that it needs really good sealing between the assorted ex-milk containers or the vac leaks nullify its effectiveness.

              finally got a plumber to come out and sort radiator valve and replace the now fault shower.

              Only draw back is I have to get up early Sunday morning. Strange that his quote was for cash

                Chicken butty with a bag of crisps for lunch

                I had thought I needed to go shopping at the big place, but on looking into the matter I realised that popping over the road for a loaf of bread and some other bits was all that was required.

                This also solved the mystery of the banging noises that I've been hearing all day: the doctor's is bedecked with scaffolding and men are crawling about upon its roof, making said banging noises with primitive tools.

                  Odd innit, how much noise someone with a hammer can make.

                  There's scaffolding up around a house down the road.

                  With the merry sound of the kango hammer knocking off the render.

                  I wonder if they know that the council will send them a nasty letter accusing them of not applying for planning permission to change the render on their house.

                    Client A offices are currently enshrouded in scaffolding as they replace the flat roof, windows and cladding.

                    Apparently they can do the windows while we are in the offices
