I've got some builders around. It's not like in the U.K. though, where I'd generally have a tea guzzling laze with whom I'd chat all day. Here there's like 3 guys working solid. They don't talk, don't want tea or coffee.
Do you like builders? Are you a builder?
I'm getting a new front door, very posh looking, locks in eight places, and won't have to pay for it.
Yet another great xltronic thread by RD.

I saw some program about german builders constructing this flat pack house for this English couple, they really did live up to the stereotype of efficiency, they all wore tool belts and looked a bit like santas elves

If I had builders round I think it's safe to say I would book myself into a hotel for the duration of the work. Nothing upsets me more than having my effete inadequacy exposed quite like it is when confronted by able, practical men.
Is your octuple-locked door to keep people out, or you in?!?!?!????? Did you ever think about asking your sinister, silent non-tea drinking jailers!?!?!?!?

To keep me in I suppose.
I didn't chose the door, the agency I rent the flat from did. All tenants are getting a new door.
They're actually a nice bunch, these builders, but lord please make it end soon!!

I don't know what other thread to put this in, and lord knows it doesn't warrant its own thread, but, at work just now, distractedly. I started singing to myself (in a low a very voice, not out loud diva) the song "I'm horny, I'm horny horny horny. So horny, I'm horny horny horny". And I really made myself laugh.

I'll pop round your gaff and do it gratis. That is if you can open your new door.

Easy jet to RD airport from where a train takes you straight to the RD himself. No confusing commuting. A pleasant few days where I'm not sick as a parrot trying to talk to you in an Ibis lobby!
