Wish me luck   
Well, I'd better get out of this dressing gown and prepare myself for the
coming evaluation. The workers are coming in two hours time, to repair my
verandah. Wish me luck.

Here we go again. The worker probably has a woman setting his 
schedule, telling him what to do. The poor fellow could be 
helping some elderly widow from Holmestrand put in wheelchair 
access ramps.

First you blame a man for taking you on a holiday. Now this.

Give the poor guy a break.

It does all rather make your average Cumbrian tradesman sound like a model
of reliability in comparison, doesn't it?

What do you do to scare them off? If you marketted it you'd make a fortune. 
I could use it to keep next door's B****y cats out of my garden, for a 
start! I could use it on the double glazing salesmen. Do share your charming 
secret.

I know someone who has empty plastic lemonade bottles of water lying around
on the soil-perhaps something to do with catching the light. Honest.
A neighbour here, put orange peel on her soil, I'd use strong smelling glue
and pepper but I think J had the best idea. Put out a few big owl statues
and get a Doberman and then you have the live wires system that even keeps
cows out/in.
I think an automatic sprinkler would be great. Cats don't really like water.

That's what I'm going to do with the workers.Glue and pepper them, then set
my Doberman on em, then wrap live wires around their...then empty the bimbo
over them, then have the owls pick their eyes out, then bash them with
plastic bottles of water, then ....... I wonder if they'll come tomorrow and
begin on a neighbour's veranda instead of mine...oh SOB.

ps: It was Orly's fault.

Surely this would not have happened if the tradesman was a 
woman. I suggest you call them and tell them you would like a 
woman to do the veranda repair.

Hmm, that's not quite how I meant it, but I'd hate to destroy a nice
compliment so I'll keep quiet.

Well they'll not come now if they've read that.

Just as well they probably haven't.

maybe you'd better keep the dressing gown on, it might be the sight of you
without the dressing gown that's driving the verandah repair industry of
Vestfold to seek work above the Arctic Circle.

Albert. Behave yourself. I look good in a dressing gown, chuckle. If I had
exceeded my talents, I'd be living in a castle by now. :0) but me Mam said I
had too be a good girl.

There was this one time.............a plastic bit on my washing machine
froze to bits and

Then there was this one time...............the window got broken. I took the
frame with me on the bus has it was too far to walk with it to the glass
master and the driver said-has he thrown you out through the window without
openening it. Little did he know.

Then there was this one time the washing machine gave up again
and........................that fella had a good eye to me. I had to shove
him out and lock the door. Gees! I learned fast how to repair a washing
machine. Sent others to his shop to buy spare parts. Diddled him out of a
la'al bit of everything, the sly '''p!!!!!!!!
