Re: The Christmas thread
Welcome to the club. We had a pipe burst Christmas eve, hours before leaving to my brother's house to celebrate. Managed to get a plumber in to rip open the ceiling and replace the piping. Lucky it happened before the departure and even luckier to get a plumber in with such short notice, and only delay the departure time by a half hour.clapton is god wrote:So there we were relaxing after Chrimbo dinner when water began cascading through the kitchen ceiling. A quick dash upstairs revealed a guest had left the plug in the sink and a tap running. the bathroom was an inch deep! Three of us there to fix it - my SIL who currently has a slipped disc, my wife who has a history of sciatica and general bad back and me, so I dove in with the towels transfer water from floor to bath.... when I felt something go in my back! So that was now three of us with bad backs all stood around laughing hysterically! Ah, well, it'll fix itself and no harm done with the water, I hope - it'll all dry itself out given a few days. Merry Christmas one and all.
Merry Christmas to all.

Nothing so drastic here. Just a silly mistake by a loved one. Everything soaked but I don't think any great harm done. It'll be reet, as we sayseanworth wrote:Welcome to the club.

Re: The Christmas thread
That was me Though, I think I was more bemused than angry. An inch upstairs, with flow downstairs counts. A couple of mm on a tiled floor downstairs is no worse than the aftermath of doing the dishes!Annoyed Grunt wrote:You were angry they called it a flood, were you not?Hoboh wrote:wasn't me calling it not a flood you drunkard!!!Annoyed Grunt wrote:^^
Don't call it a flood, Hoboh won't be happy....

Re: The Christmas thread
Poor old Hoboh declared an anger amnesty for Christmas Day and then gets blamed for someone else's rant. Shocking.
