When you get a bit of hair stuck to a bar of soap. You can't pick it off, because you end up with gouges in the soap and lumps of it under your fingernails. So you wash it off under the tap.
Only it doesn't wash off, it just sneaks round the other side of the bloody soap, and hides there until you put the soap back in the dish at which point it blows you a raspberry, and you have to go through the same thing again; to no avail. Again.
:grrr:
Keep your hair on, no sense in getting into a lather about it.Only it doesn't wash off, it just sneaks round the other side of the bloody soap, and hides there until you put the soap back in the dish at which point it blows you a raspberry, and you have to go through the same thing again; to no avail.

An ideal time to unleash the 2 nuns in the bath joke [ and the explanation ]:
1st Nun " where's the soap ? "
2nd Nun " yes it does, doesn't it "

Having new carpets fitted on Friday, so started taking up the old ones in preparation. In one corner there's an old pipe for a gas oven which I've never paid much attention to, but the carpet was stuck around. Pulled it out and suddenly confronted with the smell of escaping gas. At some point, someone had bodged it with filler and glue, which I'd just accidentally removed. Call the plumber but it's about 5mm too low to cap off, so the pipe has to be disconnected at the other end, which means I have no supply to the oven. Now need to figure out if it's cheaper to get a new pipe, or throw out a perfectly good gas oven to replace it with electric.

I hate other people's bodges. I reckon bite the bullet and get a new pipe. It would be better come selling time.Red9zero said:

House alarm developed a fault, turned out to be the battery in the siren. Engineer arrives to replace it and all the batteries in the passives whilst he's at it.
He talks with a rising inflection, only every bloody sentence. It drives me mad, we're in SW Birmingham, not OZ.
I had no idea what he said, only that I wanted to shove his phillips screwdriver where the sun don't shine.
He will not visit here again, I shall instruct the firm to send someone else or I will find someone else to do the work.

Wow do people still use actual bars of soap!?
As opposed to what?Liquid handwash in the kitchen. Swarfega in the mud room. Soap in the bathroom.
And liquid soap for the basin.
