I've got a very rumbly tummy today and I have to do a several hour presentation this afternoon 
A friend took 1 of them tablets & 20mins later took another just incase.we all started laughing in the meeting as you could see all the fluids drying his body up.I've got a very rumbly tummy today and I have to do a several hour presentation this afternoon![]()
It's a hard life isn't it, for some!Another full on day, no more nipping up the workshop during working hours lol![]()
They would have thought it was only the usual background music to an excellent presentation.You'll be happy to hear that I managed to do my presentation without having any tummy issues.
I just had to blame the rumbling on the fact that I hadn't had a proper lunch.![]()
So you think you have had a bad day and people take the Micky and use and abuse you?…..
08:06 Ring-Ring
“Dad…we were zooming down the A13 at 70MPH when the Cam-belt snapped. We are stuck in a HGV yard off the A13. Can you come here with spanners etc. and take us to Euro-car-parts & Halfords?” (I was only just out of bed).
I rushed to assemble all my tools to try to help.
08:20 – “Dad, we are in a taxi on our way to Halfords & Euro Car parts and will buy a tow rope as a “just-in-case”; if we can’t fix it, we will call you later can you tow us home?”
10:00 – “Dad, we put the new belt on, but the engine is trashed; we forgot to buy a tow-rope, can YOU go off and get one and then come and recover us please?”
Did all that, got them home safely.
15:20 “Dad, we went to Wickes (In DIL’s car) to try and get plaster, but they had none. We forgot to get the vital plumbing parts we need while we were there; can you go grab some parts for us from the local plumbers merch?”
Me: “You sure son, I gave you a pretty-big bag of my accumulated spare plumbing stuff?”
Him “Yeah, the parts we need aint in there”.
I go off to get these “essential parts” for them (1 x 15mm Yorkshire coupler, 4 x 15mm olives, and some wire-wool and some lagging).
I get there to the house where they are and open up the bag of plumbing stuff I dropped off earlier this week
• 6 x 15mm straight Yorkshires.
• 5 assorted 15mm compression fittings all with 15mm WITH olives.
• Big Wad of clean Wire wool
• Full bag of 22mm Yorkshire elbows
• many “other” 15mm Yorkshire capillary fittings.
• Plus, plus, plus……
To say I was a bit cross was an understatement.![]()
True.Your own fault, they have your phone number.
Cheers
Morning all, woken up by the weekly herding of wheelie bins ...![]()
