While sitting on our new reclining sofa in our newly decorated lounge, I could hear my dad banging away upstairs...
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *CRASH*
"What are you doing up there!?!" I shout...
"Fixing the floorboards!" He shouts...
"Oh, OK." I shout back....
I sit there and watch the TV again;
*TAP* *TAP* *TAP* *HISSSSSSSSSSSS* *SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!*
As he thunders down the stairs, I ask him what the hell happened...
"I've only gone and put a nail through the bloody cental heating pipe haven't I?" He shouts!
Up in the room, he has no ripped off a floorboard and there is a massive jet of water squirting across the room! It has all leaked under the boards and is starting to soak into what would be the lounge ceiling!
So after he manages to turn off the main supply of water we spend the next 15 mintues draining the radiators because he cant find the proper drainage valve, we finally manage to relieve the pressure...
After he fixed the pipe, we all lived happily ever after and we still have a lounge ceiling...
I'm also not even gonna tell you about the time that he managed to nearly electrocute himself by leaning against the wall with a screwdriver in his had and putting it a bit to close to the open light switch!
Basically, he fused the whole house and managed to melt the metal casing to the light! He was saved by the rubber grip to the screwdriver!
In conclusion to this post, there is no conclusion to it...
Bye...

talking about electrical shocks, if you have an old TV which produces loads of static, sit on a chair and while holding onto your console controller rub your foot over the TV...
I found this out and believe me, you get the mother of a shock!
I now do the 'rub your foot over the TV and touch someone' trick, very amusing!
A shock at your fingertips!

When I was about 5 or so, I wondered how a plug worked so I took the back off one and plugged it in.
I was found nearly an hour after the electric went out on the other side of the garage...

The same thing happened to my Dad when he was fitting new floor panels upstairs.
Hoho.
Hoho.
Ive actually electrocuted myself and my daughter once-
here goes
when she was about 4 months old she needed feeding in the night but of course after weeks of this you get tired, VERY tired. So I took her to the kitchen in one arm and kept the light off then unplugged the kettle and dropped the lead on the counter walked with kettle and child in hand to the sink and realised i was missing an extra arm so returned kettle turned tap on with now empty hand filled a mug with water to fill kettle and spilt water all over kettle then turned tap off and picked up lead to plug into back of kettle. To my 'shock' the lead was on on the wall and in an instance i looked at my daughter who now had the biggest grin from the electrical shock and hands clenched really hard into fists. I can only describe the look as 'WTF was that'. I dropped the lead and sat down and after contemplating how I nearly killed my daughter and myself remembered the face she pulled and couldnt stop laughing to myself.
we were both unhurt
