It’s not that I don’t like them, I really do, but I hate having people staying and they are here for a least 4 days. Hidden loudspeaker under the bed, some weird noises and a spurious tale that you got the house cheap because there was a murder in it years ago should see them off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Make sure they catch you wanking a couple of times, you’ll find they almost certainly leave early.Note though, that this doesn’t work if someone sits next to you on a bus when there’s a free seat elsewhere. All of sudden doing something perfectly natural is “weird”, “unacceptable” and “illegal”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engineer takes the old one out and starts sucking air in through his teeth..." I don't think we'll be able to fit it, look these brackets are too high and aren't strong enough for your new oven" " I assumed when I paid the hefty extra fee to get the new one installed it would include everything needed to install it" "nah mate, you'll need to get a joiner in to build a shelf or fit brackets the right height and strength for your new oven before we can fit it" Aye cheers pal. With places like Currys etc unless the installation is so simple you could do it yourself they generally just walk away from it. A local appliances person would probably charge the same or less. If you’re in Edinburgh (I’m guessing not) I can give you details for a couple of folk who’d sort it out for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was because Currys fucked me over before in exactly the way you say. Washing machine wired into a spur with a blank plate at the back, with the switch on the worktop. Currys guy seen that he could just plug the new one in and washed his hands of it. Hardly installation.... the workshy p***k.

JamesP_81 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Was with AO, certainly more ready for our next choice. Alas I'm not in Edinburgh but cheers for the offer. My brother in law has loads of trade acquaintances so should be able to find someone for the job, just wasn't willing to rush into doing something right before Christmas, just going to wash my hands of that one get a refund and look around again in the new year, possibly just get the worktop chopped and get a free-standing one in.

I'd never buy an integrated kitchen appliance again, a simple fix becomes a nightmare, even just checking a fuse. Been cutting away and replacing with freestanding when needing a replacement. Looks fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That experience has probably swayed me towards just getting it all ripped out and getting freestanding from now on. Mrs P decided a few weeks ago that the oven was gonna be useless for Christmas dinner ( to be fair it is an absolute shanner of an oven) and seemed a quick and easy solution to get another integrated one.

Eta, AO were good guys, Currys were p***ks They’re pressured into such a tight schedule that 30 minutes more on one job can mess up their whole day so the bosses probably have the rule that it’s better to piss off one customer than six or seven in a day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, our new house was the same, you'd have thought new builds would have changed by now, people who haven't had one before are probably impressed by the look of the showroom kitchen without realising the pain in the arse when something goes wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Three for one in this post: I'm watching Match of the Day for the first time in ages. Football is boring. John McGinn went off injured during Aston Villa's game. Once they'd finished their analysis Lineker said "and an update on John McGinn, Dean Smith said the injury looked serious and he went to hospital for an x-ray, so let's hope it's not serious." That isn't an update. The woman commentating on the Norwich game just pronounced McLean as "McCleen," which put me in mind of the time that Sally bint from BBC Breakfast reported on Hearts ending Celtic's unbeaten run and the magnificent performance of Harry Cock Rain in the Hearts midfield. Independence now, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independence now, please.The worst thing about the McLean thing was that there was at least one time she said it right. I wonder if someone told her after the game and that was one of the clips that got an overdub when it was edited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
