Yeah, then we could lock him in the cellar and get him hooked on Heroin(finer temptress) like Gene Hackmans character in French Connection II, then we could get Kathy Bates to Hobble him, then..then..then we could get Hannibal Lecter to eat his liver with some fava beans and a little Chianti(although what with him being a dour presbyterian Scot, maybe Irn-Bru would suffice)...oh,what would you 'say' to him...f**k off Jock or something.

Or I think I'd ask him to hold the line and then go off and find my 'Mr T' talking keyring and play various of the good man's phrases down the 'phone to him. It's good inasmuch as whenn the button is hit repeatedly it has the same effect as 'scratching' a record. 'IIIII piiiity ttttttthhheeee foooool' and so on.

Nothing to do with politics, or whether I think he might be a good PM but just the way I treat cold callers.

I'd ask him why he wanted it so much, if he's now so hell-bent on throwing it away.


I'd also ask him why when the country spoke pretty much en masse in 1997 and said yes, we'd like change please, we want a properly equipped NHS and better schools and we're prepared to pay for them, they didn't manage to deliver. Big ask I know, but that's what governments are for.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
