i had tea in my mates house last night, a red hot thai meal cooked courtesy of his lovely thai missus, then washed down with 6 pints of carling's finest, i knew that would be a recipe for disaster as i was working today fitting a kitchen in an immaculate tiny 2 bed bungalow and the lovely lady customer was home also. sod's law my stomach starting making funny noises at ten bells and the odd passing of some fowl smells told me it was time to go do the dirty deed but unfortunately i was not in range of my own office (20 miles away) i daren't use this poor ladies showroom bathroom and no public conveniences in the vicinity there was only one option left. i jumped in the van and made off down the road to the nearest layby..... 2 minutes later i was squatting over an empty bucket of greenstar in the back of my combo and the smell was almost peeling the paint off the van. after 10 minutes of puffing and panting the bucket was half full and luckily i had a trusty roll of kim wipe in the back to finish off the task of cleaning up. over the bushes went the laden bucket and back to work i went. moral of the day, don't have a curry and lager when working next day (unless you're close to home :lol:

Hard to get the smell out of the van too(experience,lol).:lol:
I seen me in a big new house one day, one stonemason working on the front wall a good distance down the drive, me busting and no loo.
I climbed the ladder to the third floor with my bucket, sure enough as i hovered the bloody stone mason came into the house :yikes: i kept quiet and the big room was high.
If he had climbed that ladder i would not be here, lol.

I had one similar Dave, I used to have a partner who was fond of curry and Guinness. we were doing a real posh house in a very affluent area, one morning my mate let one rip, immediately we heard the young 7yr old daughter call downstairs, "Mummy the workmen are making rude noises in the bathroom" she was stood on the landing.:yikes::lol:

This is what happened the other week. Was just finishing a bathroom fit & took the door off to tile the floor. Loaded all the tiling gear on the floor & then my labourer says, "I need to drop 1....now" so thought that's fine, knowone is in, I'll go make a cuppa. Just then, the 17 year old daughter walks in. Didn't realise she was on a half shift. So, with the front door being right at the bathroom, I didn't have time to stop her. My labourer just picked up a 30 x 60 floor tile & made it look like he was sitting on the bog marking a tile. She stood for a good 2 minutes talking to us before she headed up stairs...none of the wiser! I found it hard to keep a straight face!

About 2 years ago, was doing a large solid wood flooring job in Killcreggan, good hours drive from where I'm based. Dual carriage way all the way there. Again, he had to go for a number 2. Pulled into layby, no trees about for cover so he just squated next to the van as all buckets in van were full. It's a busy road. I thought it would be funny to drive on a wee bit & leave him exposed. He just sat there, on his invisible toilet without a care in the world! I was knotting myself!
 
I got got caught sort today working in an empty house took the toilet out yesterday and no water on so i had to drop the turtle down this my misses hasn't stopped laughing all day after i told her 08032012868.jpg
