I am starting this thread, because instead of me ranting and having a rave up, tear up, fight, ***** or stand up row, I sometimes forget that I love my work (not all the time obviously). One of the best things about my job, is the banter, sometimes I laugh until I pass out. (OK lets forget about the time I knocked myself out and fractured my skull). So I hope you will add your own funnies, and overheard conversations.

So here is my first to kick this off...

As usual, earlier this week, I was having a rant at a project manager...about my worst thorn in side extra works needed:-

Me:- Its all very well you wanting these extra works done, but who's going to pay for it?!
Him:- Ohh that's a bit of a sticky wicket.
Me:- I'll give you a sticky wicket if its not sorted out,
Him:- Is that a promise.
Me:- I'll get me coat.

I went to do a job for two hoteliers in Windermere, Nigel and Jonathon and parked up in the customers car park. Nigel came mincing out,,,,,
"Doug, could you stick it up back passage please?" said Nigel,,
"errr, do I get paid extra for that Nigel?" replies me,

(When he's at the van & I shout)
"Sweetheart, wanna grab ma **** oot the front n all? Yer a wee gem"
