I think its broked. Thats why he needs a new battery. Been using the hair dryer too much
Heee! Ow many Ippo's shiverin in car ports I wonder?
All this lockdown stuff.
Makes my natural aversion to 'people' appear quite... Umm... normal?
At least for a month or so..
I started out at 14 labouring for my bricky Dad on school holidays.
One job (an just the one) the plumber connected the loo cistern to the boiler by mistake. No joke, though there is a menopausal punchline.
He never got the chance to do it again
I worked on a site in the early 70's, the clerk of works told me a story of a job he had worked on. Nearing the build finish the architect asked for a pipe between the floor and ceiling to be boxed in. When somebody checked the plans to see what the pipe was for it turned out to be a spare bit of pipe the plumber had jammed between the floor and ceiling joist until he needed it. But then he went on another job and the pipe was left there. The floor and ceiling were fitted around the pipe, floor tiles trimmed to suit and plastering finished and painted.

Love it!!!
Like the story of the heating engineer who got told he was off after the contract finished. He finished plumbing in all the heating then took his dosh and left. When the water was turned on it was discovered all the pipes from the rads went just below the floors and no further!
Looked OK though!

Well I was doing really well this morning, full of energy, flying around doing lots of stuff, back and knees not aching at all, then I bent over twisting slightly to put something in the dishwasher and, FECK, my back went out again.
So spent a lot of time composing careful emails to French officials.
The new worktop has landed though.
Christ it's a big heavy fecker.
At least it is in the garage where i have winches etc to move heavy weights and my new trestles will arrive next week.
Still got to play wiv my circooler saw.
I like taking things apart.
