Been with my mate today
He hung & piped boiler yesterday
I did few pipes today, took old boiler off wall, renewed stopcock
Slow day as we had a ‘watcher’
He kept saying he wished he could help us. Nice chap but just a pain.
Purging cooker to get it back on & he’s there, turning the knobs & the offering to put a match to it, fuck off mate.
Back there tomorrow to connect couple more pipes, commission & test boiler, pipe rad.
Let’s hope he’s out

I hate over the shoulder watchers they really slow you up, keep asking stupid questions or giving you a run down of their family & friends  I find I get to the stage where I start ignoring them other wise they start costing me money. smiley-face-shaking-fist |

I don't like being watched either.
After 10mins I'll go back to the van for something that I don't need hoping that they've gone away for a bit when I get back.
Same treatment for incessant talkers (that's another for PBs list)

Again the watcher was present, we told him we needed to get on. My mate went to merchant, I refilled system & bled rads. The fucker followed me to every rad up & down
I said we needed tea.
Ffs.

Try asking him this question rocky -
What's the twentieth letter of the alphabet mate?
Mate reply's after working it out "T".
Mines with two sugars, now go and put the kettle on!!!

Why do incessant talkers always keep saying to you "I'll leave you to get on with your work now" when they have absolutely no intention of ever doing so?  |

I generally say; ‘Oh my Husband & I are just back from our holidays’, that generally gets rid of the old boys anyway!!
