Despair
A while ago I signed up for a survey panel about (satellite/cable) TV. There was some sort of prize draw attached, I forget what but it was something nice.
In return I get sent occasional surveys about TV shows.
I received one today. I should have written down the questions but I’ll try to paraphrase the questions and my answers.
Q. A new show is planned called “Tyson:Inside the man”. How likely are you to watch it?
A. 1/10
Q. “Tyson: Inside the man” will be the first show to have full access to Mike Tyson as he rebuilds his life after yada yada yada celebrity friends yada yada Las Vegas. How likely are you watch this show?
A. 1/10
Q. Please describe why you are unlikely to watch this show.
A. I don’t hold boxing in high regard and don’t believe that violent rapists such as Tyson should be given any publicity whatsover.
They came, they drilled, they went
The chaps turned up before I’d run out of towels, drilled a hole in a kitchen cabinet and fixed the leak.
That was the good bit.
It didn’t cost me anything because of that two free months’ cover that Angular Water gave me, too.
That was the excellent bit.
Then they told me the internal pipework had to be condemned because it’s in a shocking state. All of it.
That was the not-so-good bit. In fact, a rude word may have slipped my lips at this point. Appropriately enough, it rhymed with “duck”.
I am adrift!
Hello again. Remember me? Short, fat bloke with inappropriate fixations? Yep, that’s the one.
How’ve you been? I’ve been fairly busy, thanks.
I had an unpleasant surprise when I walked into the kitchen this morning - a layer of cold water rather took me by surprise and I soon found myself looking up at the ceiling and saying “ow” as my heels slid away from under my considerable frame.
Eek!
Mindful that Lyle’s suggested plumber was described as “good but slow”, I felt I needed someone “mediocre but speedy” and so asked my nice neighbours if they could recommend someone. They did, and Lazlo was here within 10 minutes. He was only here for 20 minutes, though, as he diagnosed that “ze fault eet ees wiz ze mainz below ze cock”.
Bugger, I thought to myself.
But then I remembered a previously-irritating piece of junk mail from Angular Water. As I recalled it said something about free mains cover for a couple of months. Now when did I get that?
Amazingly - truly incredidbly - I knew where said letter was and frantically scoured the text for dates and exclusions. Excellent - I’m within the free period!
So I’m currently waiting for someone to come along with a big drill, dig up my kitchen floor and fix the leak. Hopefully before I run out of towels. I’ll update you on the excitement later. Honest.
