As a follow on, went to a job today and 2 guys there were fitting out a new en-suite bathroom. I noticed a very slight error re the sani install and they were both great about it.
 
There's those that don't know, and then there's those that know that they don't know
 
"if you want it done any rougher, you'll have to do it yourself"

"a run away horse wont stop to look at it"

personal favourite:

"hows my pipe work look?"

"a blind man would be pleased to see it"
 
Doing a saniflo service................

Cor your hoover pongs!

No madam thats not my hoover that`s your shyte!
 
-Pipework's a bit ****ed isn't it?
-What makes you think I'm not?

-You planning on finishing today?
-You planning on any dangerous foreign travel?

-There's black water all over my carpet.
-No charge

-This doesn't look very good!
-You're hardly open-casket material yourself you jizz-slipper
 
Why don't you **** off back to your office p1rck.

Why don't you walk straight to your car and save your boss the phone call. Get off my site now.
 
Are you taking the p**s out of me....no you dont need any help your doing fine on your own!

Heavy plumber I worked with when ribbed about his weight replied..Its your mums fault every time I pop round for a quickie she gives me a biscuit before I leave......

I am normally brusque but polite to tele-sales people, on the grounds that at least they have a job, and aren't on benefits. However, there is a particular type of know-it-all tele-sales person who really gets on my t1ts. I reserve this response for them.

Me: "I will buy your product/service, if you can answer one question to my satisfaction"

Them: "Ok, whats the question?"

Me: "If you know so much more than me about whats best for my business, how come I'm running it, and you still have a **** job in telesales?"

Them: "Click. bbbrrrrrrrrrr....."
 
What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.
 
I think the brains part of the sperm ran down your Mum's leg !
 
"it was alright before you touched it" "so it was" depends how such sarcasm you can intone in your voice
 
I was pestered by PPI people on the mobile and got to know the numbers they called on. I started answering them...

"Hello Gas emergency!"

Hello this isn't a sales call.

This is a gas emergency line, what is your emergency!

Click....................
 
it was alright before you touched it!!

I must have the magic touch!!
 
Theres no ii in team
