Do It Yourself.

About a year ago, the tap on the bathroom sink started to swivel whilst turning it on or off.
It still worked, so i wisely ignored the inconvenience, and simply used 2 hands, one to hold the tap and one to turn it on/off.

This worked fine until this morning, when i forgot to hold it, and the tap lay there on its side. A quick look under the sink and i located a plastic nut thingy that had come loose. After a sit down and a think, i decided to remedy the situation, it simply needed tightening back up by hand.

To steady myself, i held onto the U shaped thing, there was a loud crack, and pints of black stinking stuff washed down my hand and arm.
A disaster, as i am neither plumber nor tool possessor.
I took off all the rusted metal shit, showered myself and went to a nearby hardware store for a replacement.

Whilst replacing this, i moved the water pipe connecting the inlet to the tap and nearly lost an eye as a jet of water spurted into my face from the now split pipe.
I yelled at the mrs to go outside and turn off the fucking water before i drown.
Off to the hardware store again for a length of pipe.

I replaced the pipe and turned tha water back on at the mains. A thin jet of water came from the new pipe.

Bollocks, i'll try the tap.




The tap worked a treat.
It worked so well that the water went down the plughole and straight onto my feet.
So, i have a new bathroom sink system that washes your hands, knees and feet at the same time.




I did notice that the sink itself was a bit loose on the wall.


I'm thinking of buying a new plastic bin and a scoop.

Did i mention the new tap?

Had to buy a new tap as well - the pipe that screwed into the bottom of the tap broke the thread off when i unscrewed it.

I really want to take a photo of the abortion under the sink - but i don't want to ruin the camera with water, and besides which you bastards will only take the piss.

Maybe the mods can DIY this thread onto that one.

Obviously, i'm not going to try it.

That's why I get the missus to do all of that; 25 trips to the local store later it'll all work well without me having been bothered by the nonsense. Gives her a sense of purpose too.

You're confusing faucets with women.

Never mind the fecking tap. You got the pressure sorted on your arse blaster yet?

It dribbled last time I was in residence.

And I'm not talking about being bent over in withnall's bog either.

Go slow, Catch monkey,

O yes.

Well, at least it was.

Now the pressure seems to have dropped a bit due to the fucking fountain under the sink.

Why would anybody want to decrease the pressure on a bumgun??? The ultimate pleasures in life are all obtained from an incredibly high powered bum gun...

I didn't want to.

It happened as a result of water pissing out of my newly inserted "U" trap thing, or "kneewasher" as it is now.


Can never have too much bum gun pressure.

Fully agree.

^ Don't think he's seen a bum gun for weeks.

I would consider moving before you flood the whole house.
