No, it’s all a big scam, I’d better not go into it online though!

Blimey - did you have to do a test in dialectical materialism before they let you in?

It’s a Marxist housing association! I can’t expect those eels to lend me a hand. BTW, you also need a spanner.

Spinny - I can see that working if you have a private landlord who is alright. However I think most of my readership have:

a) private landlords who are money grabbing tossers without any redeeming features
b) councils or housing associations as landlords (which boils down to the same thing as (a))
c) mortgages

so unfortunately it’s direct action which gets the goods…

How to unblock a sink:

Part One - Pour down half a bottle of Asda’s completely crap own-brand bleach. This doesn’t work, but you’ve only wasted 17p.

Part Two - Phone Landlord.

Part Three - Sit on sofa with lovely tin of Red Stripe while he sorts it all out.

Easy.

You might be right - each to their own tho innit. The plumber we use was well into his reggae before he converted to Islam, apparently. I’m hoping he has a load of sevens in his attic he needs to dispose of but I’ve never really had the front to ask him.

Plus we used an electrician once who said he was big mates with Junior Delgado. In fact he was involved with arranging his funeral. At least, that was the explanation for doing a runner with the money we gave him for a bit we needed putting in our shower.

Which obviously is a nice link into the notorious “yardie” gang the shower posse.

And not forgetting “water pumping” by Johnny Osbourne.

john, everyone knows sugar and water don’t mix.

i’d recommend mr gregory for the sink. sugar is much better for painting (and i know, i’ve been doing a lot recently)
