Morning, hope you all slept well, I didnt as my cheapo-new-house-water-meter busted itself open last night and sprayed torrents of mains pressured water all over my fecking house :mad: :(

 

The water leak was before the vavve so there was nothing we could do until the water board sent a bloke out to clamp the piping further back. By that time half of my downstairs was under an inch of water! :(

 

We've just had new flooring laid in the kitchen and hall, and new cupboards arrived this week (5 months to order!) for a different leak which we claimed on our house insurance for. They haven't even finished repairing that one :rolleyes:

 

Now the kitchen floor, hall laminate, kitchen cupboards and all the skirting boards and plasterboards are knackered :cry:

 

The water board will be paying for all repairs and fitting a new meter NOT in the wall of the house today, and bypassing the busted one, but if its anything like the last repairs it'll take months including lots of fecking holiday taken which pi55es me off :mad: Happy fkucing Christmas Pete...

 

Just thought I'd vent some frustration :)

 

Pete

Bad news there m8, hope it doesn't ruin christmas.

 

Mike

rotten luck.:mad: :(

Ah man. That sucks.

 

Hope things turn around quickly for you.

Cheers boys :)

 

Some blokes have just arrived in a white van and are now digging a hole in my front lawn :rolleyes: to put a new meter in.

 

Then I've got to wait for a plumber to arrive to hook it up. The UK needs more multiskilled people lol ;)

 

In the meantime I've got no water or heating. I'm freezing and need a dump - McSh1t with Lies looks a possibility...

Well, you have a hole in your front garden - take a dump in there while the workmen are on tea-break.

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles mate............hope you get it sorted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.........and dont sh1t yourself in the meantime.

I take it you are a salt water as opposed to a fresh water shrimp, otherwise we'd think it was natural for you to flop about in water!!:D :o :p

 

Seriously though........sorry to hear of your woes. It must be a real sod to have that happen. Hope it's sorted soon!

This is no time for Google wars - but it might cheer you up....

 

SHRIMP!!!!! what have you done?????
