Bumpy Whites They should be banned.
Avocado Bathroom Suites They should also be banned.
Tubbed Adhesive This should also be banned.
B & Q Because it freaks me out.
Young Architects 99% of the time they just never listen.
Cheapskates who never buy you a drink.
Men who think they can move in with you after a couple of dates, and rent their own place out!
My safety boots, I really really hate them, it feels like I have a brick attached to each foot.
Cheap travertine...its vile.
British Gas one day late with your bill and its 14 phone calls over the weekend.
Reps who turn up un-announced because they were just passing by.
Cooked Salmon it turns my tummy!

Men who think they can move in with you after a couple of dates, and rent their own place out! Isnt that a written rule ?
My safety boots, I really really hate them, it feels like I have a brick attached to each foot. Ah but isnt it great when you take them off
Cheap travertine...its vile. Its not travertine, its filler filled with bits of travertine

And its always when you are ridiculously busy:mad2:

I used to do the ideal homes exhibition which was £x per meter per day for the stand. We worked out that 2 men on one 60m2 stand cost £2000 a day between them. We divided that by 2, then divided that into the 720 minutes (12 hour shift) to give us a per-minute price, per head.

There were hundreds of cheeky reps every day that would buy a ticket, pose as a buyer, and come on your stand and ask you questions about all your stock, and then say "I can get you that cheaper" and start talking about it.

Me and my mate almost held one hostage for the 30 minutes he'd wasted BOTH of ours time.

£1.40 per minute each, x 30. (2.80 x 30) £84.

We made him pay the £84 before we let him off the stand as we were calling security. The other stands around us laughed their butts off and then kept sending all their reps to us but the organisers had clocked wind of it and kept near us and escorted them out when they did spot a real one.

Was a stunner.

You should adopt a cost per minute and charge the reps to waffle to you for as long as they wish. It's the exact same as what they're doing! The more they're with you, the more they make in the end.

Men who think they can move in with you after a couple of dates, and rent their own place out! Isnt that a written rule ?

After I split up with my ex, and was going through a really bad time, everyone said go out with the first man that asks you out! So stupid me did. He rings me up and said I'll tell you what....let me treat you to dinner tonight round yours....OK I said sounds nice.

He turned up with 2 Morrisons Currys (buy one get one free! Id clocked the stickers) and then went up stairs. I hear him in the spare room..so I went up stairs. Hes only got the tape measure out measuring up the spare room! I said what are you doing..he said well I was thinking how lovely it would be if I moved in here with you, move my stuff in here I think theres just about enough room, and I can rent my place out...What do you reckon to that?

I cant repeat on here my reply, but the currys were found half way down the road the following morning after Id thrown them at him.

Pebble Power you know it makes sense!

Whats wrong with avocado suites? They were the one to have back in their day (not in my day i hasten to add)

I prefer these ones, this is my family bathroom at the moment and has been for four years

 

[Scott]

Mind you one of my neighbours has been on dating sites for the last 4 years or so. When he meets a new woman he has his feet under the table within a week. Now i dont mind because I have tiled 4 of his ex girlfriends bathrooms so far
