    All day man all day.

    FFS



    Mrs MM has retreated to the bedroom, it's intolerable.

    You might suggest going and reasoning with him, would seem good, positive, advice, may even get some of that on here

    Unfortunately he's a feckin dimwit.
    For example:-

    Our electric completely blew one night, everything.

    The electrian was very helpful and asked if there had been water ingress from the flat above.
    I said I was unsure, but I didn't think so.

    Luckily we had a wireless light fitted, by him, which isolated the kitchen from the rest of the flats circuit.

    Just as well, as I walked in one night weeks later and water was pisssing through the light fitting in the kitchen.

    I switched our trip and my Mrs headed upstairs.
    I had to take over shortly after as by this point he had followed her to our front door.

    I stepped in and naturally tore him a new one.

    Only things of note he said was "You don't know it was me" , "You can't prove it" ... etc.

    The worst thing is he had told Mrs MM he had to go and switch off his kitchen tap, in the first instance, when she was first at his door.



    As I say a total ****wit, I then found he is something to do with running the flat owners association.

    As I said earlier FFS.

    Bit of commercial reggae on now, not proper roots style, but more acceptable than earlier

    That reminds me I have, unfortunately, had to cancel the planned 2 month Jamaica trip this year, for obvious reasons.

    It's only really worth going if you have local connections and steer clear of Negril, obviously, as it can be a little dangerous in parts.

    Last time the MIL went she had a police escort back to the airport, as the traffics terrible, with sirens blaring leading her car.

    As I said local connections are paramount

    Power tool has now ceased, probably a break for lunch

    Now some b@stard is playing some appalling ballad type music instead.

    Thank feck Mrs MM has just bought me a cooling beer
