This is my first blog

Highly unoriginal way to kick things off i suppose. Calling your first blog "my first blog" but its not even 7am and i am hardly awake having been woken by Angus (hereafter refered to merely as A) at 4:30am wanting to watch CbloodyBeebies! He made do with Countdown instead until the Tikkabilla music started.

Anyway, inspired by my sister Kays(hereafter refered to merely as K) blog with its hilarious anecdotes about Bitterne town centre i have decided to begin a blog as I think I can be even wittier and more hilarious than my older, far cleverer(she has 10 GCSE and 3 A level and a couple of degrees, whereas i merely have 3 GCSE and a City and Guilds In Gas Installation!) Sister.

Anyway, it is I think the crazy old world of Gas Fitting that I get up to that will offer most opportunities to recall funny and not sometimes so funny moments. As a mobile gas installer, i come to your house, suck air through my teeth(yes they do teach you that at Gas College) and generally drink all of your tea whilst going about fixing your heating/hot water problems. And whilst doing so, i see your house, inside and out, i go into all your rooms, and your loft, there is no hiding place, for anything. At all.

Today is friday, the legendary POETS day in the building world. Its the day we all aspire to be! And as its friday i dont have a great deal to do, just go sign off the job i have been on all week, then go look at a radiator that according to the customer" sounds like it has got metal in it". I didnt like to say "of course its got metal in it, its made of bloody metal" as that would have seen her put the phone down and me lose out on a sixty five quid call out.

Then hopefully I shall go fishing.
