My most embarrasing ever incident yesterday

[doug boardley]

which reminds me.... me and Mrs Doug off out on a walkone day,I got caught short, dipped behind a gate post, in mid stream my wife says"Morning, lovely day" in my rush to conceal my modesty tried nipping it and reeling in, peeing all over myself as well. Nobody there, nice one Mrs Doug!! 2 weeks later top of Harrison Stickle (Langdale Pikes) Mrs Doug needed relief. I'd be sentry(he he) "Morning, lovely day" says me, Mrs Doug replies "You don't get me with that old chestnut!" just as a group of 8 climbers came into full view!
Revenge is oh so sweet!!:hurray:

The two men that work for me are painters and drywall finishers by trade, so it's good for me because many times we can pick up extra work in the customer's house while we are there doing tile.

In one case, my guys called me to tell me that they were moving furniture to prepare the bedroom for painting (I was at another job). They said when they slid open the drawer of a piece of furniture to get a hand-hold while moving it, they saw all kinds of "love toys" in the drawer. They were kind of :yikes::yikes: and didn't know what to do. I said close the damn drawer and slide the furniture on the plastic coaster things that I had bought to move furniture on. OK fine they say.

Then they called back to say that there are more "objects of pleasure" behind the cabinet, what do we do? I say to throw a towel on it, leave it in place, and put the drop cloths right over it. Don't touch it, leave it alone, and get the room finished and put back together by the end of the day!:20:

Sooooooo, then they called me to say that there is more stuff under the bed. I'm wondering is this place Caligula's Lovechest? OK, I say, take a picture with your phone about how is is laid out under the bed. then move all the stuff (use rubber gloves if you wish), and then use the photo to put all the stuff back in place later today.


This customer was quite prim-and-proper, with a good job and a "normal" lifestyle. I'm glad we didn't have to empty anything out of the bathroom before we worked in there.:lol:

Was working at my best mates friends house a few years ago. He had pre warned me that they both had ocd about cleaning. So i could make sure it was a case of in out as if i had nt been there and low an behold the kitchen floor would magically be tiled when they get home.
So numerous sheets to make sure i did nt dirty the carpet, mixed out side, cut out side and left all my tools outside, only taking in anything i actually needed.
My mate popped round to see how it was done as he was thinking of a new career and decided he needed the toilet so off he goes upstairs to drop the kids of at the baths.
He came down some time later looking flustered as the toilet had nt flushed properly he asked me if i had any plastic bags so he could take his deposit home and dispose of it. Yes i said take that empty grout bag, off he trotted and cleaned his mess up.
Meanwhile i finished up and checked all was lovely and clean so i could leave happily.
When we got to his house i asked him what he had done with his present?i buried it in there garden was his reply. Your kiddin me do you know they are digging it over tommorrow? Its ok they will think its the builders.
Not in my grout bag they wont!!!and with that off he ran dug it up and brought it home!!
