Actually now you mention it, yeah lol... That's quite funny.  My all time favourite when describing a woman who makes her wares freely available is

"She's seen more japs eyes than a Tokyo optician".

Cracks me up lol

Once it's done just run into a door to even them out.

I don't understand why a drain in your own garden is your responsibility, so anything that goes wrong with it, you have to fix. Makes sense so far, except that, you're not allowed to move said drain if it runs into mains sewage without the express permission and over priced consultancy and surveyancy fee they charge!

Daylight robbery! Therefore I'll be digging it up in the dark!!!!!

+1 with that. I was looking at a house to buy before I got this one. The owner had built a conservatory over the top of a drain and had to put a trapdoor in the floor of the conservatory for access because the council wouldn't give permission for the drain to be moved.

1) who wants a trapdoor in the middle of a conservatory?
2) what happens if it starts to stink - whole house filled with stench
3) what happens if it overflows or backs up? - whole house filled with next doors poo

No thanks!

When we had our extension built I was able to convince next door that they really wanted the drain cover in their garden. I was then able to convince the council that it was a great idea.

Job done!

No drain on my property. No responsibility.

Talking of planning applications -

20 years ago I applied for outline planning permission for two bungalows. Permission was refused due to no spare sewerage capacity in our village - within the next 10 years 22 new houses were built - without any mods being made to the local sewage plant !!

A few days ago I woke up to the News on the radio saying that later in the day would be the Prime Minister's Queens Speech - which would all be about prison reforms - and went on to give vague details.

FFS - what was the point in anyone attending to listen to the speech, when all the details had already been issued and even commented on!

Modern PR sucks - when a real tragedy happens such as the recent Egyptian passenger plane crash - within minutes of the occurrence 'people' are demanding to know the cause immediately. This just allows all the news weirdos to come out of their holes with preposterous explanations - backed by not a shred of real evidence.

Or as someone else eloquently put it:

"A speech about poverty given by an old lady wearing a diamond hat sitting on a gold chair."

Why, oh why, oh why are SMA elbows such crack!! :'(

3D printers are great. No really! But why isn't there a foolproof way to secure your print to the bed so that its stuck fast during printing AND easily comes away afterwards!

I can achieve "stuck like a barnacle and needs industrial machinery for removal" or "floating mess of random 3D printed filament". There's no middle ground >:(
