When I first read this thread, I thought it would be about a tribute band to Spinal Tap......
How wrong I was

Yes, it's amazing that this thread has continued into a third page. Now we will spend the fourth page discussing the very arcane obscurity of the topic itself. |

Where do you live? British Isles? Fly me in!
The gas tap wouldn't turn - I wasn't getting gas at all.
He tore out all the skirting boards to try and find the main,
And I had to call the carpenterto put them back again.
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do.
'Twas on the Tuesday morning. the Carpenter came round.
He hammered, and he chiselled, and he said, "Look what I've found:
Your joists are full of dry rot, but I'll put them all to rights".
Then he nailed right through a cable and out went all the lights.
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do.
'Twas on the Wednesday morning the Electrician came.
He called me 'Mister Sanderson', which isn't quite my name.
He couldn't reach the fuse box without standing on the bin,
And his boot went thru a window, so I called a glazier in.
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do.
'Twas on the Thursday morning the Glazier came along,
With his blowtorch and his putty and his merry glazier song.
He put another pane in - it took no time at all -
Then I had to get a painter in to come and paint the wall.
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do.
'Twas on the Friday morning the Painter made a start.
With undercoats, and overcoats, he painted every part,
Every nook and cranny, but I found when he had gone
He'd painted over the gas tap, and I couldn't turn it on!
Oh, it all makes work for the working men to do.Odd. I had a notion there was a plumber in there somewhere...  |

I could try mopping it up with all this unwanted celery that's been coming my way these past few days. What happened that has your floor in such a state? (my shoes finally gave way today when I was half way in to town walking. I removed the insoles (which were falling out) and just about made it in. Shall get the bus back home and toss this pair out tonight). |

I could try mopping it up with all this unwanted celery that's been coming my way these past few days. Thank you. Most kind. What happened that has your floor in such a state? I dropped a cup of coffee (my shoes finally gave way today when I was half way in to town walking. I removed the insoles (which were falling out) and just about made it in. Shall get the bus back home and toss this pair out tonight).
Yes, get the bus, but replace your insoles with Rice Krispies. That way it will at least sound like you have a posh gravel drive. (That Joke courtesy of Viz Top Tips) Tommo |

I dropped a cup of coffee There's a fairy tale in there somewhere; something about maybe a princess who was cursed by a wicked witch to drink a cup of coffee a day for the rest of her life; one day she dropped the cup and forgot to drink another, and fell asleep for a thousand years, only to be woken up by a handsome prince playing a Strohviolin, whereupon they married and lived rather happily ever after. |

Another one (from QI): To achieve that posh gravel drive look, stick Rice Krispies in the grooves of your car tyres. |
