COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

This is my bathroom sink. It's a single faucet and you just CAN'T stop it dripping. I've had to place a bowl in there to catch the drips, and at the end of the day, the bowl is full. Wouldn't take long at that rate to fill up my septic tank. My s-i-l is a plumber and he's taken it apart and cleaned it, fixed the washers, etc. but it still drips.

Judges are quite serious about such things.
This may cost you marks.

I love the word "moot".

Since the liquid drains out of the septic, wouldn't it be a moot point? Its not dripping fast enough that you'd have to worry about it backing up in the pipes up to the house.

Almost as good as a "moo point".

yes. mixer taps are taking over though

I have a mixer in the kitchen but I do like separate taps. Don't know why - just do.
All new washing machines are cold fill only now so don't have a hot water feed anymore. EU regulations I believe but not entirely sure. Supposed to be more economical to heat the water in the machine, which they always have done if not enough hot water available, but if I have a surplus hot water I would rather use it in the washing machine than heat from cold.
Maybe its not as simple as that though - post your sudgestions here!

Good morning everyone woke up early this morning so I could go sit with grandma while my grandpa took my uncle out to breakfast. I'd say I'm feeling 90% better!

How is everyone this lovely day?!

Pleased to hear it meech. Hope your grandma is comfortable and glad that your grandpa is able to have some respite too.

Doris is out to get me! I was walking through a door and a gust of wind caused it to blow shut on me! I tried to push it but the wind was too strong so I was wedged in a door! Haha

Thank goodness it wasn't a revolving door - you would have been very dizzy by the time you'd made it out!

 

[Lyn W]

When a hurricane struck the West Country back when I was a boy, it blew our alleyway door open which wacked me on the nose and broke it. (my nose, not the door.)
OUCH!

Thank goodness your nose was there or the door could have really hurt your face!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yeah, I nose I was lucky.

I'm guessing either Lyn or Lena...
although Wifey should get lots of bonus points simply for putting up with...erm...I mean, taking such good care of our Adam!!!

Although I am undoubtedly the most pure of all the forum members (embarrassed cough) I don't think it I will win the crown, Bea as I didn't play everyday.

I told my husband we were showing each other photos of our sinks, and he gave me a very odd look....

Well done, you lovely good girl.
And here is your prize :

 

[Lyn W]

At the last place I worked, whenever the wind was blowing hard, they would leave the front door of the main building OPEN, and the wind would blow in. The first time I saw this, I shut the door and was immediately engulfed with the most horrendous screeching whistle as the wind then blew through cracks under the door!!!! A secretary ran up and (giving me a dirty look) opened the door again. The wind blew in but the dreadful whistling sound stopped. She said they always leave the door open when the wind blows, or else that whistle drives them nuts!!!!!!

This was at a State institution, where even the simple installation of a weather strip on ONE door apparently required too much paperwork, or so I was told.
The place, very aptly, was a long term mental hospital (insane asylum).

A clear case of 'You don't have to be mad to work here but if you are it helps!

popped into VW to see the manager and pass on my friends number for the supervisors job ... he offered me the job they have had 4 people in the job since me, they want the best

Did you accept? Congratulations of you did!

As you didn't win on the days you did play.
