Yes, I hear this tool exists. Wouldn't trust pushfit on chrome ever though!

When replacing a soil stack in the Liverpool School Of Tropical Medicine remember to turn that 15mm isolation valve in the snake room back on which was discharging into the stack - it's part of some weird humidity control system which keeps the snakes alive which in turn are essential to the anti-venom research.

Yup, I almost killed all the snakes because I forgot I'd turned it off.

The Alistair Reid Venom Research Unit at LSTM is a unique resource for snake venom research. The unit hosts the largest collection of venomous snakes in the UK, for use in clinical and scientific studies to improve the efficacy, safety and affordability of anti-venom to treat victims of snakebite, with a focus on the rural poor of Africa.

How many times have you took off a sink trap and asked someone to tip it down the sink while you're still under it?

Me - 3 times!

Remember to put the pipe you just cut out with the hole in it far away from you.
I was replacing the pipe after it had been screwed through and thought 'oh, look at that. This piece fits nicely. Lucky me.'
Recommissioned the system and flooded the downstairs flat.

Put a NO SMOKING sticker in your van in case you get pulled over by the council 'tards.

Once you have eliminated all the obvious whatever is left, no matter how unlikely is probably the answer.

If you've drained down always change the washer on the DOC.
It's bound to drip at four o'clock on Friday!
