Due to a slight tape measure miscalculation - today I drilled down
through a Post Office ceiling and not into the store room at the
back of
the Post Office:-(

I did apologise to the woman in the queue that was stood under the
drills
exit point - she was covered in dust and bits of plaster.

A Jap would have at least had the decency to disembowel itself.


You might have the decency to **** off to an Ozzie group.



Last time I drilled through a cable it blew the company fuse. Couldn't
believe it when they came within the hour and didn't charge


In the mid '90s I worked at a company making large industrial
compressors. The "specialist" electrician that had been brought into the
factory test area managed to turn power onto a unit that was still being
worked on and which had the motor connections earthed when he shouldn't.

Bearing in mind that people were working on the unit and that the motor
was a 2.5MW, 11kV, 3-ph unit, the resulting bang took out the local
breaker, the distribution room breaker, the electicity board's breaker
in the distribution room, the factory sub-station and the one feeding
that - taking out most of the surrounding area for 3 hours!

And after the criticism you have publicly given to your various
apprentices here - what did they say to you Adam?

I could have a very good guess on that one. :-)


At least the PO the store room and the new apartment where I was
working were all owned by the same person.

Only an apprentice can manage to core dill for a bathroom extractor
fan into nextdoors house.


Nice one Adam - but you really shouldn't try to excuse your error.


And for tonights cock up.

Just called the gf and asked if I should call down to see her. She said
her s-i-l was there and I replied "Just give me a call when the fat ****
has ****ed off"

The gf was using handsfree on her phone..........


In my early working days, we gained a new departmental manager. He and
the departmental secretary did not have a good relationship. It turned
out that a few years earlier, in a different department, he'd phoned one
of his workmates and asked "Who's the fat, ugly bitch sitting next to
you?" - also on speakerphone. To make it worse, she really was fat, ugly
and a complete bitch!

But you are not supposed to tell them that no matter how true it is!

BTW I have made more cock ups in the last 6 months since I posted this.

voted the right way; like your mum?

If *everyone* had dun a postal vote, would we have had 14 days to send
