Pet hates

[kingeri]

Just wondering what everyone's pet hates are. You know, those things that really get on your ----. I went to a job last week and there was a massive gap between the backboxes and accessories - I'm talking about a 5cm gap here. I thought the accessory and backbox were supposed to form an enclosure! It really annoys me!

John bishop has grown one as has Dara OBrien, both are very funny!, I have a fender p bass, I challenge any instrument to sound as good and pack quite as good a punch.

I carry a cheap pair of new, black trainers only for working in people's houses for that reason

blocking out a few days to do a job and when you get there there it's a mess and the "builder" isn't ready for you.

But thats OK you can work round the 2 joiners, 2 labourers and the decorators.

If all the mess is in your way you can just move it.

:censored:

Aye I :censored: love spending time tidying up after other trades.

no I don't mind that your :censored: labourer has chewed 3 of my cables with a :censored: holesaw.
And it's fine that every square :censored: foot of floor space is covered with tools and materials.

and to be honest I'm really glad your :censored: labourer thought it was ok to move the phone and sat cables through the same holes as my LV cables. That way you can use the holes for CH pipes, but for :censored: sake don't whatever you do don't move my T&E before shoving microbore through the same holes.

and of course I'm just going to touch my toes and take it up the :censored:

not :censored: likely this is my new invoice :smug:

not that I'm bitter and twisted about a recent job lol

Knocking a pot of coffee all over the kitchen worktop. Spent half an hour cleaning the crap up from everywhere, getting the nag,nag nag.
Got the whiskey out instead, hope it knocks me out.

I didn't like him the first time I met him and it got progressively worse from that point on. A tipping point was when he was shouting and swearing at my front door when I was about 80 miles away. He objected when I rang the boys in blue, not to my face however.
Thankfully my daughter doesn't like him any more either.
I'd like to tear his face off, other than that I can justr about tolerate him hehe

I Wasn't being literal mate I had a Alembic which was pretty cool!!, I know there are better mate but the p bass is a pretty solid and punchy axe

 

[trev]

Like I said HT they're nice to play but they're bloody ugly imho. The bodies are too big and clunky.
I liked the Alembic John Entwistle used to play, I think it was called the exploiter.

 

[telectrix]

fraid you've lost me on the guitar scene. all i know is that a good guitar played by a good rock guitarist is a signal to turn up the volume, starting with jimmy page, john entwhistle, the list is endless.

Really rate the nukelele, like what that George Formby bloke used to plug in.

 

[ipf]

Probably better for earthing swa though, thinking about it, sorry.

 

[telectrix]
