The grumpy thread

[3VOM]

Did you get a breakdown of costs to see how the £12k was arrived at? If it's a gut job for the ground floor including removing/ replacing plaster (it can spread behind plaster) then £12k is probably not excessive. Has your damp-course been bridged or under floor vents been blocked up. Until the cause has been found and rectified it would not be wise to start repairs. You have my sympathy, it'll be a horrible job

This ^

IIRC you replaced or treated 1m beyond where you can see the dry rot is, as the spores spread that far.

[purplebargeken]

moviprep....... urrrgghhh. 

 

Another litre at 6pm. Fucking great

[Mally]

 

Dry rot treatment ~1k. Rendering ~6k. Timber floor and vents ~5k.

 

 

 

The concrete idea sounds good, but its not cheap and very heavy, could cause other problems.

I'd tend to do the treatment and timber floor, that has to be done.

Leave the Rendering for now, survey said it wasn't causing problems.

This cuts your bill in half.

House would then be fine to rent.

If you put it up for sale, rendering may get spotted on buyers survey, and they knock you down £6000, or may be accepted as is.

Moviprep - second litre. I swear there is nothing actually left inside me. This includes internal organs. Please....... help........ me.

That agent picolax story had me in tears !

[purplebargeken]

^^ PMSL. I can totally relate. Thank fuck I never got the dates wrong.

[purplebargeken]

I now hate the taste of vaguely lemony.

 

Not sure if I am going to shit or puke. I may possibly do both. Simultaneously.

[The Moog]

It's like reverse K seal.

 

The agent picolax thread is why the internet was invented

[purplebargeken]

This fucking stuff is going through me like a fucking Bullet Train. My innards have gone and have been replaced by a straight through exhaust system, no cat, no baffles, no back box.

 

After the two scopes tomorrow I am stopping off at Tesco's to buy a loaf and a gammon joint. That will be the biggest fucking sandwich of ever.

[purplebargeken]

I swear I have lost 2 inches from my belly. I feel like my internal bits are fucking teflon coated, 'cos there is there is no way that anything is sticking around.

 

I really would quite like to pass out now. 

[richardmorris]

This is why no one makes up stuff about needing intestinal examination.

I'll tell you my own tale if I may, maybe as a precautionary warning , I attended Whiston Hosp for a bumscope a few years ago and didn't need the bowel prep as I was getting a little something on arrival. A very small tube of stuff was squirted up my hoop and I was told to keep this in for a minumum 15 minutes before using one of the many toilets that lined the corridor in the waiting area, I don't know how I managed 15 secs as the urge to release was like something I've never felt before or since. I sat in the waiting room with another half dozen blokes ,who it quickly became apparent, had been given the same bum potion as I could see them wince with every spasm , sweaty foreheads all round,and mucho belly burbling was going on, one by one we caught each others eye's and began to chortle at the absurdity of the situation , one guys belly made a massive rumble which we had a giggle over but one guy found it so funny he crucially lost focus for a millisecond and shat himself right there and then. I ran and locked myself in the bog for fear of doing the same.

 

Sure you'll be fine though! 

 

Godspeed PBK and enjoy the post scope farts, they are phenomenal.

Thanks for posting that! Properly made me laugh!

Been there done that.

I was rather violently ill one morning a while back. I got out of bed and instantly needed to go to the loo so I legged it in and sat down just in the nick of time only for the whole world to fall out my arse! At that moment my guts also started churning and I puked while sitting on the can mid shit!

It was literally pouring out of both ends unstoppabley, the floor around the toilet was just a huge puddle of puke, all over my feet and everything.

 

It was awful at the time but funny now. Anyway, best of luck Ken.

Sorbitol in sugar free mints has the similar making you shit yourself very badly every 2 mins effect. Ask me how I know.

Our bathroom is helpfully designed so you can not only be sitting on the bog draining the sump but also, if an accelerated reverse peristalsis scenario manifests unexpectedly, by turning your head slightly to the right you can fill the basin with the recent contents of your entire gastric system.

 

Haven't tested this myself, but Musical Offspring did when he was about eight...

.... Good friends ONLY apply for a 'shit 'n shower' though

[Louise2cv]

University halls of residence had ensuites where it was feasible to shower while on the loo, while brushing your teeth.

 

Never tried it mind.

[michael1703]

We had a bidet next to the bog, just removed it because A. I'm not posh and B. Never used it. I have no safety net for double trouble, my sink is 8ft from bog, projectile vomiting only

[michael1703]

Sat indoors on a lovely sunny day waiting for world superbike and world supersport races on euros port, 4 red flags so far

[Tamworthbay]

To add to a shit week it now appears one of our cats is on its last legs and may have gone off to die and I have pulled something big time in my side and am in agony. Roll on Monday.......

Nice one. Rancid grapefruit juice has a similar affect, btw.

[fordperv]

Mrs fp showed me the agent picolax story a month or so back when she was preparing to have the botty camera i thought it was hilarious, she wound herself up about the effects of the picolax for no reason, she took it and it didnt cause a poo volcano

.... may have misrepresented, here.... I mean only a very close intimate would agree to showering happily, but let someone in who 'dumped the frog' >> 3 foot away... Ooof!!

Just sold the Escort to a collector back in the UK

Things have obviously changed since we made the move out here and tbh it was going to be left sitting for a while once i got it shipped out

Doubling it's value in the short time I had it helped to ease the sting a bit though..

[ruffgeezer]

Mrs Ruff's Berlingo got the sharp end of a Zafira into it this morning. Luckily Mrs Ruff and the Rufflets are all OK, but the Berlingo is bollocksd due to bent front suspension, oh and a gouge front to rear down the nearside.
