I sense a viral sensation in the making... 😂 Cheers Doc, I’ve got everything crossed in the hope that my flight won’t get cancelled for a third time, but I am not that optimistic. 

I still think in old colours 😆 and i’ve gotta learn a whole new set of them, I have no idea which ones they used in sweden before the EU standard.    I did. About four years ago... i have been gone for longer than I though! 😂

Could well be the case. Although from the 24th of this month I’m officially unemployed for the first time in my life until I start my new job, so I could do with getting on with it...

It’s the thought that counts 😂 as stereotypes go though I’m rubbish, the hair is blue, not the eyes. And I drive a corsa...😆

I’ll still pop in here on a biannual basis as per the usual tradition 😆  Turns out C&G qualifications must be worth something (sorry Deke 😜) because I got a job as jointer/linesman for a little DNO close to where my parents live. As much as I’m sad to leave the UK (especially in the current...

😂 cheers guys 😂 how are you doing? I’m as well as you can be when you’re less than a month from your planned move back to sweden and someone throws a pandemic in the mix. As if it wasn’t stressful enough... 🤦‍♀️

1) People who hoard. I’m cool with people who buy enough to last them a week or so to save trips to the shops, it’s the ones who buy enough loo roll to last them until 2022 who needs a slap in the face with a chair.    2) Social media shaming. I know sometimes people don’t follow the rules. Do...

Unfortunately for you @MK43 you’ll just have to put this one down to experience and pay the money. The cost of a team of jointers and a digging gang and the time it takes to excavate, do an isolation cut, do repairs/run a new service in and put it all back together plus reinstatement quickly...

I don’t think a box would be of much use for anyone to be honest.  PVC tape always lives in my pocket, as I can’t manage more than 10 minutes at work without it. Phase tapes for jointing are just three rolls held losely together with a cable tie. Storage sorted. 

@binky Have you got a street works/NRSWA ticket? Because you will need a qualified person on site while you’re doing the work. 

Ooops. As it wasn’t bad enough that I’m slowly becoming my own mother, I appear to be turning into yours.  Moved house a little while ago and signed up to Sky because it was the only decent broadband provider. So now I find myself with both Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sky Boxsetssomethingorother...

Even I would want that one dead. 😜 Just because jointers are slightly nuts doesn’t mean we’re suicidal.  Proper procedures in this case would have been to do it dead. There’s only so much you can do with rubber gloves and insulated tools. We’re mud monkeys, not magicians. 😜

You have no need to worry. You can contact your local DNO to arrange a service alteration and get your supply rerouted directly to your property, but it can be quite costly and unless you’re doing building work where the cables are in the way it’s not necessary. 

Maybe try something lacey that lets the air flow through a bit more? :D   I personally don’t suffer from this, but working in this heat means I’m surrounded by so much ball sweat that I feel like I have my own private ocean. 😆

Only if you share yours first... 😜

And I finally thought there was a topic on here that I could totally relate too... 🤷‍♀️

It’s been talk about a congestion charge in Reading as well recently. Can’t see that happening though. No one wants to go there as it is, let alone pay for the privilage. 

Are you gonna do matching shoes too? 

What are you complaining about kerch? See this as an opportunity to earn some extra cash by making and selling trendy jewellery. 😜 

Ssssh! I’m trying to blend in with the English, don’t blow my cover! Absolutely. Sometimes I even dine in places that only have one Michelin star. 😄
