They were a chocolate biscuit back in the 1970's around the time Marathons were Marathons and not blinking Snickers :mad:

Hi everyone -just a quick bump before I go to bed.

Hi all, Lady Hooray reverted back to type today.:eek:
She has had guests for a long weekend, for today to break up the tedium and after a 3 bottle's of red luncheon, she thought she would show them how to kick a Handyman.:eek:

So she wobbled into my workshop and say's You have made the Kennel too small, My terriers wont fit in. The terriers are the size of Corgi's. The Kennel 4 ft x 4 ft x 3.5 ft.

I said this morning you complained that the wood cost £160.00 and I told you that I only ordered it after you had approved the quote.

Now You were with me when I measured the gap it has to fit in, bearing in mind I have to fit it into an alleyway on my own and at the moment I would need 4 strong men to lift the thing with me. That's why I have made it sections and allowed 6 inches on each side to fasten it back together when I get it in place.

She waved a tape measure at me and said Well I've just measured the gap and it's 6 feet wide.

Best come with me then I said and I will use my tape measure, mines made of steel and not elastic.:rotfl:

Sure enough My measurement was a snug 4 ft 10 inches. When I looked over my shoulder she had her tape at 45 degrees trying to measure around a pile of logs and to the wall, she hadn't taken any account of the supports that come out from the wall every 5 feet.

My dog's won't use it she said, far too small. They were never likely to I replied, there like their owner to thick to come out of the rain.

No need to get nasty she said. Not being nasty just straight with you, you were there with me when I measured up and drew you a plan of how it would turn out.

This is why we can't get any local tradesmen to come here more than once, they quote for a job, do it, alter it, alter it again and then put it back to how it was in the first place. Then when the put in a bill for the weeks of extra work:eek:

She's a bit like watching the news reports of the Government cuts and Strategies.

Maybe they all went to the same public school.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Regards, Handy.:D

A new page time for one of these x

Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

What is a Troll?
A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made. If you should get such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Report” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

It is testament to the work that Martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time, knowledge and experience freely to others; without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of their debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT
