I just watched National Lampoons Christmas on TV, gosh I laughed so much. he chops a Christmas tree down in the garden and puts it in the house, then a squirrel jumps out of the tree and the whole house is thrown into chaos.. so funny.
It reminded me of an incident at my house once. We established there was a giant wasps nest in the loft anyway we called in Rentokil. The men arrived all suited and booted ready for the wasp encounter, off they went very brave into the loft and closed the entry behind them.
Suddenly there was an almighty crash and screaming, I dashed upstairs to find a mans legs dangling through the bedroom ceiling and the other guy scrambling down the loft ladder, apparently we also had bats in the loft! Seems Rentokil are brave with wasps but scared to death of bats…. I still laugh when I think about it. Any similar encounters?
Teapot
I once boarded up a cupboard, as there was an awful draught that came from it..and a few years later needed a new boiler,so it meant re-opening it again. They came up and were miffed id put a simple peice of chipboard on it..so they ooomed and ahhh’d about who would open it..I let it be known there was a body behind it !!! They refused to do it and sent in an apprentice.Well, as soon as he put in the jemmy to remove the door, i let out an almighty scream..l Jeeze-o.. he was out that door fleeing for his life :) how I laughed :)
They eventually saw the funny side of it.. i think !!
i was working at some ones house once when we drilled through the gas pipe
gas was filling up the kitchen and it seemed to take for ever to find where to turn it off
eventualy it was off and we opened all the windows to get rid of the gas smell
quickley repaired the pipe and just when we thought it was all over i noticed we had gassed the family budgie
we panicked for a bit thinkng the customer will go mad when my work mate said lets pop to that pet shop we passed on the way and see if they got one to match
as luck would have it they had a nea perfect one in the shop so i bought it
put it in the cage and binned the dead one
any way we were working away when the lady of the house came home
we were up stairs and thought there is no way she is going to notice cus its near perfect match wise
any way a few seconds after she came in the back door we heard an allmighty scream
so i went down all innocent and said whats wrong
she said the budgie
i said what about itshe said when i left this morning it was dead in the bottom of the cage
