Hi, my name is XXX and I live XXX and I've been waiting 6 and a half years for a plumber.
pctek (84)
569656 2007-07-17 08:36:00 And your a plumber?
If not then I think the caller might be waiting a bit longer....

569657 2007-07-17 08:55:00 Well that explains why they have been waiting for 6 years, they probably called the wrong place in the first place. radium (8645)
569658 2007-07-17 09:44:00 They must be really busting to use the toilet! :lol: Greg (193)
569659 2007-07-17 10:03:00 Ah, isn't your hubby a plumber? Jen (38)
569660 2007-07-17 21:04:00 Yes husband is the plumber - not me. Thought most regulars knew that...... pctek (84)
569661 2007-07-17 21:13:00 If the waiting list is that long you'd probably make loads more money working for him than pctekking. PaulD (232)

569663 2007-07-18 01:15:00 No, I don't want to connect hot water cylinders or shower mixers or install spouting.

Although we were at this ladies place where I have done various computey things as she puts it with impressive results but that has now been dismissed as totally uninteresting now because husband was looking at their water pump which had apparently seized and was making distressed burning out noises as it tried to pump without its mechanical bits turning, and he fixed it by basically applying a spanner to one end and turning it once.

They now think he's marvellous, he was taken into the warm lounge and fed beer and I was told I could go out on the deck with my cup of tea and smoke.
