There was nothing better to do on NYE? I can't even be bothered to click.

It's not a money saving tip. It's a complete waste of sellotape and ink! Luckily, the video maker appears to have made them for a laugh.

The only problem being that they aren't funny. Just weird.

If that guy is really serious then he's an idiot, you couldn't fix that pipe with sellotape, the water isn't leaking out of that hole anyway it's the rest of the pipe around it that's cracked & broken, the reason his patio is wet is because the drain is blocked hence it comes up over the gully when the toilet is flushed, if you have damp through the wall then the patio is too high & has breached the dpc or the dpc has failed

And toilets don't flush out of those pipes, but I was trying not to go there.

First part was "Uploaded on Nov 10, 2010" the second part was "Uploaded on Nov 13, 2010"....he's not the best worker or the quickest. I wonder if he can show a more up to date video of his results.
