Bone viewarj @Stanleysteamer 
....that I had to chuckle. Wifey lets her brother (the useless BIL) know what we are going to be doing to get his mother's toilet fixed and to provide a new quarter-turn taps on her basin, a working shower AND fix the Economy 7 Immersion heater he tried and failed to fix 2 years ago.
He is "surprised" that we (the one's who are actually bothering to turn up and do something for his Mum, rather than just sit at home feeling sorry for ourselves) are not also fitting a new shower-tray and a new enclosure as well.
She's 92, and hates "change" and struggles to cope with new things, so we are trying to be minimally invasive so she gets simple fixes and minimal disruption.
The Cheeky Sausage.

I like that
Yes. It surprised me too.That’s rather polite

I am trying to tone-down my ill-will towards him. I do think he's a complete ar$e, but we are stuck with him; and TBH, I would not want to be him or have all his mental/physical problems and hang-ups.
He's just a classic "sad-sack" and I should not let his negativity affect me so much.
@ Stanleysteamer Don't forget to wave us goodbye as you sail off into the distance.
This is a happy thread so I am not going to bring the mood down lol
Hope you are all having fun. Remember, the point to life is to enjoy every day. Smile at every idiot and nod your head. They can't help it and it will only bring you down if you let them get to you.

.... When you meet the "Nutter on the Bus" or the odd "Random" that is muttering and talking out loud, don't recoil in horror, be kind.
They are letting you hear their "internal dialogue" their little conversations with themselves, sometimes they are scolding, sometimes advising themselves.
The yare not mad, they just lack the "secrecy" we all normally deploy.
So always try to be kind when you meetme one.

Good evening from clacket lane
They closed for motorway works so get a long lie in again.
Earlier text from work gave me a few directions & said keep off the grass. They would not let me go round & see the monkeys
