Niko the plumber - No interest

[*Bob*]

I wish the fellow well with his work, but seriously - if I have to hear once more about him cheerfully unblocking a sink etc etc I might have to smash my own teeth in with a hammer..

[numbers]

Is he any good then? ;)

[Jah Lush]

Depends who you ask.

[*Bob*]

I can't decide.

We've got the 'thumbs up' thread and the 'thumbs down' thread.

Surely we need an 'Niko - uncertain wavery hand' thread - for everyone else. Say, if he unblocked a bog - but the u-bend was backed-up within a couple of weeks or something.

[Salsaboy]

Surely if the U-bend blocks up again after a couple of weeks, that's not his fault. It's the fault of the bog user.

Maybe that Sunday roast was heavier than we were led to believe *Bob*

You need to buy a wringle

[*Bob*]

'wringle'

One of the few word with absolutely no google results. Whatever it is - I want one.

[Salsaboy]

I've got a couple in the shed if you're interested......

[*Bob*]

How much?

I'll give you 5 Squelps for one. And not a plok more.

[Seabag]

Ha !

It's a plumbers tool, much like a wound wire snake type thing

I've had one for years and its a fekkin marvellous thing

On the end its got a weird twisted teeth thingy

Much fun in a drain

[*Bob*]

The only thing I can find is this image of a copper wringle - only you have to register with 'plumbing zone' to see it. Which is a step too far, even for me.

So how's the new bathroom coming along, *Bob*?

[*Bob*]

Totally wringled

[numbers]

Glad to hear it.

Skimming that thread (thumbs up then becomes thumbs down?!) is comedy gold.

"Last week he was a plumbing god. This week not so much"

"watertight excuses"

I could go on but I'm all wringled out.

Wringle Schmingle

wringle wrangle... plumbing the depths...

[Alan Medic]

The depths? The velvet underground...

Anyone else wondering how *Bob* feels about garden labourers?

Just me then.

[Salsaboy]

He probably uses his hands like everybody else.

I think I'm developing a crush.

See here, this is what I meant

Stick this up, around and down your pipes

I can see why.

On a similar theme to this thread, I remember feeling frustrated with seemingly constant recommendations for a new hairdresser on here. Felt like a day didn't go by without someone putting in a glowing review about their scissor skills. Aaaanyway, it worked as I gave in, tried them out and thought they were pretty good so er... posted a review myself! ;-)
