All done bar the grouting…

plumbing.jpg

There is a reason that I’m not a plumber. It’s not that I can’t do it because I can – it’s hardly rocket science (that as we all know is the study of a jet-propulsion device that uses either solid or liquid propellants to provide the fuel and oxidizer needed for combustion. The hot gases provided by combustion are ejected in a jet through a nozzle at the rear of the rocket causing the device to accelerate in the opposite direction).

Plumbers behave as if there is some mysterious art to joining pipes together that only they are aware of. This is of course a complete pile of gonads – if a plumber who on average has the intelligence quotient of a small piece of seafood can do it then, quite frankly, anybody can.

There is no real reason I’m not a plumber other than I hate it. That is it. Simple. End of discussion.

Tiling and grouting however I could just do forever. Because it’s fucking scintilating…

I didn’t surf today but I did have a bad day at the office.

    I wouldn’t bother with tiling and grouting if I were you. Besides, grouting is illegal in several countries in Eastern Europe. Although I know a place in Sydenham where people go under cover of night for a secret grout. They go there and they park their cars and sometimes people watch each other grouting. It is most distateful. Recently, Stan Collymore was arrested for Willful and Persistently Evil Grouting.

    This has got me thinking. Is ‘hounding’ the same thing as ‘dogging’? I read recently about a man being hounded out of his home by unruly neighbours. Blimey. What a way to go.

    I cannot deny my true inner self UDH – my builder within grows stronger by the day. It is my destiny…

    Woppity – I hope they were flashing the living room lights appropriately to let the neighbourhood in on the action.
