happy birthday Col

January 12 mines in No-vember where [b]SWMBO[/b] continues to say [b]NO![/b]

But in this case [b]5 Horses[/b] being true to her name continued to

[b]Nag, Nag, Nag, Nag, & Nag[/b] the life out of me and insisted that I fix what her son broke.

The idiots who thought it was a good idea to have those idiot Mixers instead of Taps drive me crazy. Her son broke the Shower Mixer around midnight Thursday last week and with water shooting out everywhere I turned the water off [i]as if there was any option[/i] and then tried to get a replacement Friday.

What a nightmare that was it took 3 hours to get the bits of the cartridge out only to find that it came from a company who has been brought out and is effectively no longer trading. So I had the option of pulling the wall out to replace the fitting or to try to find another cartridge. Naturally if the wall was coming out I was replacing the idiot thing with taps. ;)

After numerous phone calls and traveling 300 Kilometers with the broken bit asking do you have one of these or something that will fit and getting nowhere I finally rang a place that thought that they may have something. A mad rush at 4.30 to get 30 KM's in under 15 minutes resulted in me getting the last 2 cartridges in captivity and finally at 8 O Clock that night I got it fitted and water tight. Working in other words and with the water turned back on [b]SWMBO[/b] son continued to go to the toilet and throw up. Of course just to make my day today the Guy from the Tap Company rang me and has put a new cartridge on Transport today as there are no places who stock parts any longer.

He's been off work since last Tuesday being dehydrated after suffering Heat Exhaustion and I just watch as he throws down a liter of liquid of some description then calmly walks out the back door and throws it all up. He then returns to the fridge drinks another liter and walks out the back door again to throw it up yet again. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and wonder what he uses for brains. That lot all happened in under 3 minutes this morning.

Then to make things better he empties any drinks in the fridge and doesn't bother replacing them because he's too busy throwing up and then complains that there are no cold drinks in the fridge. Currently I'm wondering if I strangle him will the Coroner believe that he died from the Heat Exhaustion.

All week he's been drinking my drinks and complaining that they are no good for him but leaving his drinks alone and saying that it's pointless wasting them so mine are a better option. He also fails to mention that the fridge is empty or that his wife has emptied the cupboard and all the drinks are gone now. Though neither of them are backward in coming forward to complain that he has nothing to drink.

Then just to keep life interesting he's been resident in the Bathroom & Toilet since Tuesday last week with no one being able to get in to do anything but clean up after him. Thank god it's currently pouring with rain or I would have no chance of having a shower. :0

Then her Daughter brought down 2 computers that she has wrecked complaining that they don't work and that she didn't do anything to them so it must have been what I did when I built them. Didn't matter that I found her Phone as the only installed Modem or that both Outlook and OE had been uninstalled as well as the network adapter.

The other one didn't work at all but then again as there was no RAM in it what can you expect. Naturally [b]No One[/b] touched that so I must have sent it to her without any RAM fitted and it worked till a week or so ago without problems. :^0

I sticking to my story that I have nothing to do with either of the wifes children and with the youngest being 36 this year both should know better. Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :D
