  1. Don't do 2 things after chopping chillies
    1 stick your finger in your eye
    2 go to the loo

    Both hurt intensely...of the 2 I don't know which is the worst..if anyone wants to give it a try let the rest know what you think

    Don't think you'll get to go the fastest route in a taxi in East Grinstead.

    That’s reminded me that also I did this just once, and in my years of diminishing memory capacity it’s one one of the very few things I’ll remember for ever, and at the risk of sounding religious, for ever and ever and ever.:D

    My three rules of plumbing;
    1) there’s no such thing as an easy plumbing job
    2) never start a job on a Sunday
    2) if you think you have the right part that will fit you haven’t and it won’t.

    It’s all there is to know.

    My golden rule of plumbing. Leave it to a plumber, never believe it was already broken when they tell you it was, always get a second opinion and estimate, plumbers curse a lot, old plumbers are grumpy, never ask to borrow a spanner off a plumber they won't have it, plumbers smell of wee.

    This obviously doesn't apply to the myriad of plumbers ( sorry, heating engineers ) we have on TLB , they're the salt of the earth type plumbers/heating engineers :rolleyes:

    Do plumbers have to retire when they lose their teeth, or can you have dentures modified to whistle on a sharp intake of breath when arriving at a job?

  12. Not sure. I will ask them.

    Along similar lines. Has anyone ever met an electrician who knows what a dustpan and brush is? And why is it that no matter how small the cable is, the minimum hole an electrician can drill is approximately 30mm

    And why do electricians stretch cable to its extensive limit when connecting it to a socket? Just leaving a couple of inches slack makes it so much easier to remove the socket when you want to paper the wall.

    Always make sure you have clean underwear in case you have an accident and end up in hospital because the first thing the nurse will say when you get brought in after being hit by a bus is “ my word look at the state of your pants”!

    And it really throws them off guard when you remember something they said.
