After all you can cop a gratis ogle of their arse as they walk on

i fine and valid point my man

However, would it not be better if THEY held the door open, you get a good gander down the bouse as you go by AND you can kid yourself for the next hour that they held the door open cos they fancy you

Ahhhhh the live of the sexually deprived

One for the Architectural technologists again really.... Converting feasability plans to working drawings FFS dont most peeps who do feasabilities understand how buildings are put together? Its taken me a week to put a 1500sqm plan into a working drawing state (ish) The GIA has grown 50sqm (ish) so about 75k over the initial cost plan The plan has grown 1000mm in one direction which means fire appliance issues I wish architects would step of their pedestals (sp late now) sometimes and ask the guys/girls in the know sometimes.

oh i agree completely... those damned architects

yet another shite day...... Ive worked my arse of for the last month on the above job. Finishing at 6:30 most days. Straight home, cook bed and back to work This morning I get in, to find my boss has been dscussing my work with a colleague...and he has told him that he doesnt understand why the building has 'grown' so much Cue the boss giving me a grilling when I got in today...and me trying to tell him how the plan has evolved over the last week when i work through every different panel on a 1500sqm building The colleague then came over and gave his 10p worth...cnut. This is the bloke that went part time (cos he could) and now wants to somehow keep control..... It went on all bloody day, culminating in me telling him to 'fcuk off and do your own job' at 5 this afternoon. My boss was quite shocked at that (even though he's known me for ten years)

The over use and abuse of the word "deadly". It really getting on my wick at the moment.

[pfw]

My least favourite overused word at the moment is "unsustainable" ".. yada yada is unsustainable" Translation: yada yada is something I don't like but I can't think of a reasonable argument against it so I'll use a big word to make it sound bad. BTW - "deadly" has been upgraded to "lethal" on the BBC website at the moment . I'm looking out of my window preparing to duck and cover if I see any clouds of H5N1 floating this way

bloody tv channels that have the adverts about 10 times louder than the programme you are watching!! Grrrrr!! Had something on whilst washing up and then the adverts start and I have to run to the remote control with my marigolds on to turn the bastard down. Then having to wait for the programme again so I can turn it back up !

People who haven't got a fcuking clue. Oh I've just got a 150 year old stone cottage just how do I make home? I know I'll Artex everything that stays still, paint the kitchen dark green, the bathroom purple and stone clad the chimney breast. Oh it'll look too, too divine. But wait, what about outside? Well we've already got the satellite dish what about some mono blocking. Excellent - make the place look like fcuking Legoland. Brilliant. What goes on in people's heads? Do they sit down soaking up all this DIY molest your home bollocks that is the mainstay of C4 these days and think "I'll have a bit of that"? What sort of kitchen do I go for? Well, these gloss white ones look complete sh*t, that'll do me. Throw in a plastic sink and you've got a deal. Coving. What twat invented polystyrene coving? If they were a twat then what does that make the person who took the time to visit Homebase, pay good money for it then waste a weekend fitting it? What does that make the person who stood back and said, "well that's a massive improvement". It's not difficult. Rake around on the internet and you'll find hundreds of suppliers of things that look right in these places. Not just the horny handed sons of toil places in the Home Counties charging the equivalent of the GDP of a small African country for a door but places throughout the country making things that look right and are made nicely for considerably less than some nasty sh*t you buy out of retail parks. It's not difficult, there are magazines to help you. Still having trouble? Let me help. DO NOT PUT ANAGLYPTA WALLPAPER IN OLD COTTAGES. It looks sh*t anywhere, do you really think it is going to help here? Need more help? Never, ever, ever, paint a bathroom purple. Dickhead students might think it looks good but they are twats. No one, repeat no one else thinks it looks good. Don't do it. Hmmm, Sapele doors. Excellent. Very fitting. Just the sort of thing but hey, why not top them off with some poxy brass handles? It's not as if a braced and ledged door with a nice suffolk latch wouldn't look about three million times better is it? Can't these people show some sympathy? Don't they ever stop and think I wouldn't like uPVC guttering nailed to my forehead, why should my house? The one bit of good news is that I have found you can steam Artex off, even if it has been painted.
