I'm usually quite calm....but...
« on: January 29, 2014, 11:33:35 pm »
Now people who know me would regard me as generally a pretty mild mannered chilled out entertainer..As well as a bloody good window cleaner !

But, since we went over to wfp ( Aug 2012 ) there is one thing that really really annoys me ( calm down Ju )

We've got a busy day ahead, lots of houses to do ( not as many as some jokers on here ) cause we're only doing 107 houses today !

Then it happens...yes..oh yes....you know what I mean..

That insignificant  84 metres ( my business partner broke the other 16m in a fit of anger ) is playing ball winding in or out perfectly and then it thinks, hang on im not having this ! I'm gonna snag myself on that wheelie bin wheel, branch of a small bush, tiny edge on a slab, pointing on a wall, or anything else that I couldn't snag on if I tried !

It becomes a challenge between man and hose..

Hose usually wins !

There ends the scripture

I wound the hose in the other week and after a bit of a battle, it suddenly went free. Carried on winding to find an (ex) newly planted rose bush attached to it with several thorns right through the hose and a one inch tear.

107 houses, that's for newbies, children and OAP's. I do more than that before lunch and on my own.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Pah! Lightweight I do 100 houses before I stop for a coffee (Elevenses).
It's a game of three halves!

My hose is on its last legs,  it looks like Freddy Kruger got hold of it and shredded the yellow.  It has 2 brass joiners in so far and I have just bought 4 more from ebay.

I do have a brand new 100m re-enforced hose but I want to wait till this one completely dies.
