Nine months after...

...Xmas and New Year and we're as quiet as get-oot.

The place is usually jumping because of the Xmas conceptions but, guess they're finally heeding the Government Health Warnings regarding drink.

And remembering to take the tablets.

Bloody flat...

...checked out the flat the other day. Big turds lying under my bedroom window and a smell that could knock out a horse. Contacted the factors - I'm now on first name terms with Magrit who works there.

Turns out Ground Force let it slip to them that he'd tried to shift something in the drains with a sink plunger and let it go. So he thought he'd try again with a mop but the fuckin' mop head fell off. This is whats in all probability travelled along the pipe, blocked it and affected the sewage drainage so that the turds are floating back at us.

God help them, the plumbers are trying their best but thanks to Ground force and his stupidity, we're going to be out a fortune to get this sorted.

Explains the shocked look he gave me when I told him I wasnt going to stay there with the drains in that state and with that smell. Cunt was probably feeling guilty. Had the cheek to tell me he wasnt happy with the Factor and that we should get together and sack them.

Wee Maw...

...and her casual observations.
Walking behind me the other day, heard the exclamation "Jeezo!, youre arse is getting wee-er, 'zat the gym?"
Me - "Aye, how?".
Wee Maw - " Aye well, a wee bit merr aff the belly, and you'll start to look like youre normal".


Nae fuckin' chance of getting big-headed in my family eh!.

Bastard of a flat...

...I'm realy hating this flat.
Problems with the drains again. Not only is drainage from the bath flooding into the back court, but courtesy of the strong smell of keich coming in the close, I opened the windy, flushed the lavvy and saw the water level rise up a bit and swirl around so now the bathwater and sewagwe drainage systems are mixed.
The factors and the plumbers are doing their best, despite the clown from across the landing stopping the plumbers accessing and fixing it last week, to leave it till this week - so the problem has escalated but Scottish Water who are apparently responsible for blockages/collapses when pipes are a certain distance away from the house are trying to say a) they didnt know about it,
b) internal pipe bursts are more important than shite coming up my bath plug hole, c) A big boy did it and ran away.

And of course last night and tonight Robbie Williams is playing Hampden so even if the plumbing is OK, I couldnt get near the house - but at least the smell of the horse shit from the police horses will disguise the smell of shit from the drains.
Bugger...
