Men Are Really Odd.

Yes I know, Arky. I'm off again.

Thought I'd have a bit of a lie in today. So I did. When I got up to brush my teeth I discovered, with a mouth full of frothy toothpaste, we had no water.

Spluttering froth at Dave I told him. I know, he said, wiping the froth off his tummy. That is as far up as I can splutter on him.
Ahhhh. I forgot to tell you didn't I, he continued, I had a message early on saying it would be off til four.

So, said I......You'll have filled jugs and buckets?

What do you think? :-)

[ToraToraTora]

A bloke would have tried the tap first!

[choux]

Oh no - or should I say - no eau ?

[gness]

This woman did, Tora and got the final bit from the pipes before it trickled away.
A woman would have filled containers.

I said neither, Choux. ;-)

[choux]

Of course she would, gness, no butts about it...

[gness]

Indeed, Choux. Only a drip wouldn’t.

I prefer a light Sauvignon Blanc for cleaning my teef - no shortage of that ... yet.

[choux]

When are the 4 hours up?

Do you have faith in the statement?

[choux]

Blanc is best for white pearlies, Dave ;)

[sunny-dave]

I don’t drink water – have you seen the way it rusts pipes?

[he also said something much ruder ]

[gness]

I'll sing that chorus when I send Dave with a couple of buckets to the neighbour's well. Wonder if Bobtheturkey is around.

Not four hours, Choux. From this morning til 4pm. Do I have faith? No. :-(

[piggynose]

well we mustve been spoilt in madrid, cuz every time they had to repair a water main, theyd give us gallon (5 litres more or less) bottles of water! I thinkn we were allowed 2 each for the day!

[choux]

I know - pisces procreation or summat similar ;)

[Hopkirk]

So what is the problem?

[sunny-dave]

"Infrastructure Upgrading" at the village water treatment plant.

[choux]

I mis-read it, gness, hope springs eternal in my mind.

Pub it is then, Dave can drive ;)

[gness]

I doubt they'd be delivering us water, Piggy....up and down Kerry boreens.

You must have a good strong bladder, Hoppy.

[gness]

Pubs will be closed, Choux. No washing glasses and as for the loos!

[gingejbee]

When our mains water was "off" a few months ago (just over 24 hours), we got a £60 credit on the bill.

[Hopkirk]

Oh I wish Gness. That's a distant memory.
