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
Tis sunny in wales again.
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 ...
