when i was a teenager i bought 2 pet rats. i had them for 3 months and then i ended up with 21 of the damn things. the supposed male rats were actually 1 male and 1 female and randy as hell lol. at first i thought hey i could potentially sell these at £3.50 each. i sold 2 the rest grew old and died in my bedroom lol.

 

[pobsdad]

The rat liked to sit on my shoulder and nibble my ear,but attacked everyone else.When my snake escaped and got in her cage,she bit it's head half off!

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Dont get the thing with tattoo's do people think because you've got a tattoo your a thug? An electrician i know has sleeves on both arms and just wears a t-shirt, one arms got a meaning to it like his mothers death, sisters etc then the other arms just his mess about arm. People still think that bikers and violent people have tattoo's.

 

[GQuigley67]

I've always wanted a tattoo just havent got one yet, think I'll get one this year but don't know what lol

I hated being an apprentice, one guy made me clean the container out all the time really p'd me off and also being made to go down the manholes when drain testing.

[GQuigley67]

done one today which wasn't one of my bests !!

unblocked a macerator in a chinese restaurant, fortunately for me it was not linked up to any toilets but was linked up to their cookers. Probably a year or 2s worth of fat and other gunk inside it, wasn't very nice cleaning it out

[dontknowitall]

[pauls]

sorry about the dog.

i hate toilets especialy cc they nearly always seem to weep from the doghnut when you do final check just before you want to leave. oh and bath taps in tight spaces.

 

[dontknowitall]

I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but anything to do with water seems to be a nightmare ...

 

[pobsdad]

I sometimes put the donut washer on upside down,it seems to work better on some bogs.

Talking of which, when you find that your tap spanner ....this type.....



Doesn't fit the back nut on a tap (maybe european sizes or something?) ...And it's on a vanity basin or something where the recess it's in is tiny and hard to get anything in there anyone got any tips for getting the thing off without cutting it off from above?

 

[GQuigley67]

there seems to various sizes of these types of tap spanners, I have the one you are talking about which doesnt fit some back nuts, although I have seen ones with different sizes just haven't bought them yet.

 

[plumbitp]

If its a plastic backnut you can heat the tip of a chisel and melt your way through one side of it

That should be in the hints and tips thread!

 

[WaterTight]

I'd be worried the hot metal coming into accidental contact with the basin might do something though...probably wouldn't right?

Done it a few times with no issues, also used a couple of bits of 10mm copper flattened and bent into a u shape over the top of the box tap spanner for some smaller backnuts.

 

[IDCHAPPY]

Bathrooms, unless the punter buys it so they can't change their mind or pig about the stuff bought :-(

 

[arran197]

I hate working on Worcesters. I hate working on Ravenheats. I hate working. Lol!

 

[WaterTight]

That I like! Especially as since you mention it the problem ones always seem to be a bit smaller that the box spanner - not sure I've come across any too big

 

[WaterTight]

That was to SimonG by the way
