IT wouldn't turn the right way so I tried to see if it would shift a little bit the other way to loosen it...that was when the waste break - not sure why it had corroded but it was also double slotted so weak by design. Looking at it I could belive it has been cross-threaded or the other option is that someone has glued it on to make sure it didn't leak (perhaps after cross-threading it....)
Can get a whole new trap for 2.97 in toolstation, I would also put money on probably having the right bit somewhere in the house/garage/shed but no doubt buying a new one is much more likely than finding the one I already have.
Best way to find the one you already have is to buy a new one and fit that. Always works for me.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I'd have just not used that sink until I had enough "plumber type jobs that needed sorting out" to justify calling one round.
Although that can take 2-3 years to accumulate enough "odd jobs".0 -

I have enough jobs to keep an electrician occupied for a reasonable amount of time. All the switches and sockets are either misbehaving or bits are falling off them.
Telepathy hasn't worked in bringing him to my door.
We didn't wire this house, before anyone asks! Someone else did that. All the sockets are in stupid places.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

When I was working out the layout of the study I specified 4 lots of double sockets all along one wall, because I didn't want to have a shortage of power.
Nice plan eh, but then DW decides the desks are going against a different wall !
D'oh !!! :rotfl:0 -
A doggy question for fellow NPs.
Lottie has just been spayed the other day.
She has the hard plastic collar on, but is struggling to rest with it.
Are there better versions available which are more comfortable?0 -
I found the Liverpool fans delightful at The Lane (not being sarcastic). It's just as well given how many had bought tickets for the home end!
I saw them a few years back. It ended 1-1.
Old Ma Generali has come to visit from the Mother Country.:j
How lovely, Gen! How long will she be with you?0 -

She's with us for five days before heading north on a road trip on Monday, probably to Airlie Beach which is about 2,000km north of Sydney (1250 miles). Then she's back for another few days.
The trip is a birthday present from her OH.
Airlie Beach is a nice spot. It's the mainland base for visiting the Whitsundays:
The Whitsundays are an absolute paradise, they're beautiful. Apart from the one that some !!!! put a golf course on. That person should be !!!! in the !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!ing !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!! !!!!ed until they !!!! !!!! !!!! off.
!!!! it.
Anyway, calm thoughts Generali, calm thoughts.
Seriously though the Whitsundays are a chain of c. 70 silica sand and coral islands right on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. They are utterly beautiful, just amazing (plus the stupid golf course). I went up there about 15 years ago and I long to return.
If you were to draw a picture of an island paradise you would probably draw a Whitsunday by accident. Cap'n Cook discovered them on the day after Whitsunday but because there wasn't such a good understanding of time zones back then he thought it was the Sunday still so mis-named them.0 -

Way back in 1974 a couple of my friends went down for the Liverpool v Newcastle FA cup final, we got slaughtered 3:0. After the game my friends were in a Chinese takeaway, and a load of Liverpool fans came in, they shook their hands and said something like 'hard luck guys, we'll pay for your meal to make it up to you', so they ordered all the meals. But when picking them up, the scousers shouted 'run'! and they all ran away without paying. My friends didn't know what to do, but didn't want to risk end up paying for all the scousers meals, so they ran too.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

That looks just like North Norfolk, only much warmer. And sharks? And Salties? And jelly fish?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

I have never worn one, so can't be sure it's more comfortable.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
