Ah, see, you've probably never done a proper hogmanay,

Not that ***** you see on tv, but the proper drinking one where you just sit drinking all night with complete strangers, 

It's something to behold,  and, if you can remember how good it was, you didn't drink enough,   :D

 
My right knee (right now)..... It a swollen and painful to kneel on so I'm on antibiotics for 7 days from today (so over Christmas)

I've always used knee pads but I've bought a new set as my old ones were a bit thin

 
I think we should start an Electrician's Knee Club ....known as the EKC   of course .

If you've ot bad knees , you're in !!!   Simples. 

Anyone who qualifies has permission too include  EKC after their name .  Or MEKC  as in Member of ......

I can see it going nationwide ,,,or somewhere . 

 
You could write a non statutory book of guidance on how to use knees and charge let's say £80 a copy for it and make it compulsory reading for anyone who wishes to comply with part knee the statutory regulation which applies to all tradesmen who use their knees.

Yep.... No sleep again!

We could have a digital version

You pay for three years of pain free knee action.

Then after three years your knees stop working BUT you still have the set from 4 years ago, but they are useless

You can get newly qualified as a 5 knee wonder but you can only advertise and use the knees for walknig slowly.....NO running

 
I'm liking this ..........Part Knee  of the Building Regs  is good ....but as Kerch says , we don't want a load of 5 Knee Wonders joining ....their knees won't be bad enough for a start .

Should there be a seperate section of the Forum for those with knees ?
