    I’m just joking I don’t hate anything or anyone really, but I am quite terse this evening!

    Apparently, missing fingers are easier to sew back on if they're cut at 45*.

    If only this were true. I had a pig of a job yesterday doing a cylinder change until about 1.30. Then went to another customer to do some wiring in a loft where it was nearly 30C. I got home at 4pm. Emptied my van. Loaded my fishing gear and set off for a slog round the M25. Didn’t even make it to the motorway when I got a call for a leak. Turned round. Went to the customers. Climbed into another loft. Found leaking ball valve which I didn’t have. Crawled through traffic at rush hour to get to merchant. Fixed leak. Eventually arrived at the lake hours late. All the decent swims taken. Caught nothing.

    i write my manifestos in the van. I can’t do them in the loft as the sweat smudges my crayons.

    Well done you and Rustbucket, but had a site visit from their head of carpet today ( handy having mates in the loop ) there’s trouble for the fitter on Monday as there was no reason he couldn’t have done the job!
