Pet hates

[trev]

Taxi drivers, my brother in law, crap tools, masterchef, Danny bloody Baker, politicians, cats, rats/mice/hamsters/gerbils etc, "experimental" music, Brian Ferry, Phil Collins, lists of things you hate, doomsday prophecies, the bnp, are the bin men coming by Ritchie Kavanagh, the manager of our local Iceland
However, the one thing I hate more than anything else in the world....My grandson's idiot father.

That's all I can think of for now.

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

Lee Nelson, his show is not well good at all

 

[trev]

John bloody Bishop, whinging gits, reality TV, religion, facebook, cottage cheese, Greggs pastys, wasps, keyboard warriors, football

I forgot about those things

 

[plugsandsparks]

From today - trying to buy a mobile phone as a gift, what a nightmare if you dont know which network they are already on etc etc etc. Ended up taking a punt and putting the contract in my name and guess what - to change the name is contract termination. Buying a phone as a gift, i think i must have just invented...... thats Tesco BTW.

Trying to buy smokes when they have blocked out the display, whats that all about. It becomes a protracted effort ( as i am not brand loyal) to find the ones on special offer. Enough to just make you give up.

Friggin HD devices like Sat receiver, blu ray player etc that dont come with a friggin HDMI cable so you have the buy their easily available ones that cost about a third of the price of the product you are buying, are they MAD - walked out in disgust (Tesco)

have to agree with most of that, but what's wrong with john bishop? one of the funniest men since eric morecombe.

 

[High Tower]

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

 

[ferg]

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

 

[ipf]

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.

 

[ipf]

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]

plug-in . don't think that we had electrickery when george formby was around.

 

[ipf]

Down to me grammer again..... mean't 'pluckin', Tel

 

[dingodeano]

Customers who offer to chase out , lift boards, move furniture, to keep the price down. Then don't do any of it.

 

[GLENNSPARK]

plug-in . don't think that we had electrickery when george formby was around.

we did...but he was too busy stood on ladders.....pervin through windows....

 

[GLENNSPARK]

and then there are kitchen fitters, wood butchers, and worst of all, barring plumbers, spreads that manage to fire their slop into your toolbox even when you've stashed it out of their way.

dont forget `barry bathroom fitter` Tel...

 

[gdtrelo]

People (non electricians) who think they can do their own wiring then want you to fix it 'cause it does not work.

Doing a nice looking install job with tray/conduit/trunking, then an alarm guy comes in later and tie wraps his intruder/fire/cctv cables any old how to it.

Settle for grounding his head.lol.

easy solution. phone the company and give them 48 hours to re-route cables before you cut them.

 

[dan86]

related to electrics- having to redo work because some fud farked it up beforehand
in general- when driving, nothing ****es me off more than sitting behind someone at the lights and them having their foot on the brake.

I actually 'pulled over' a police car when I was a lot younger and told them that leaving their foot on the brake had dazzled me and they should know better. the driver was most annoyed and proceeded to look round my car trying to find fault (none at all) the other one was creasing himself which annoyed mr angry driver even more.
made me ACtual lol!

 

[Darkwood]

I hate tie-wraps which haven't been cut down troperly as it leaves a razor sharp plastic tongue all angles at my wrists when im adding a circuit to say a cable tray....:furious3:

 

[plugsandsparks]

sporting a nice slash on my parm from cat2 diffusers. They have to be the most ill thought out method for diffusing light for a suspended ceiling light install.
I have not yet found a way of looking elegant and professional when trying to tease one out.

Agreed, it's always turns out being a very unwieldy and clattering experience

 

[ETradesmen]

Having a cable get caught on every f'ing thing possible. It once got caught on itself and opened a portal for me to jump into..

 

[Thefailsafe2012]

Also how the springs retaining a GU10 will occasionally fire out and stick to your arm

 

[rattlehead85]

SWA cleats supporting armoured cable with massive washers bigger than the actual cleat holding the cable in place.
Ugly as hell!!
