Would it be bad form to ask him to snake my drain?

I nearly said that's the most ridiculous thing I've read on MN since the poppy comment but thought everyone would think I was insane

Poppies? No? Am I missing out?!

Dandandandandandandan · 15/06/2017 13:22

Don't tell me there's a fit gardener who's spilled his seed?

I had a plumber round a few weeks ago. Sadly he was short, fat and old. Such is my life......

Just be careful. You don't know him. Are you willing to risk that he decides to give your waste pipe a quick rebore whilst he's at it?

I always swoon at a nice looking workman, its not offensive. They get lots of nice drinks and snack out of the arrangement.

ThanksMsMay · 15/06/2017 13:47

I feel like we don't say swoon nearly enough.

He might be Piglet John!! In my head PJ is hot.

UnGoogleable · 15/06/2017 15:58

Gutted you didn't get to ask him to check out your U-Bend

Just read the Poppies thread. Amazeballs.

LaraAxelrod2 · 15/06/2017 15:59

I need to get a plumber out . Now thinking there is a gap in the market for a website for hot workmen recommendations!

silkpyjamasallday · 15/06/2017 16:04

I've never had any hot workmen in the house Sadthe current ones in this week are very pleasant, but not at all sexy. I didn't know I was supposed to offer snacks as well as tea and coffee though! Slacking off clearly.

ThanksMsMay · 15/06/2017 17:11

Oh if it was you Piglet John I apologise unreservedly for objectifying a fellow Mner Blush

I imagine saying "check out my u bend" in the manner of 'How you doin' Joey from Friends.

I just pointed at cabinet and mumbled glassesareinthere silkypj while turning bright pink. No biscuits were offered (biscuits don't last in this house).

That clip is very funny Grin.

PigletJohn · 15/06/2017 21:27

Swedish porn has given housewives totally unrealistic expectations of how long plumbers take to arrive at appointments.

TheNaze73 · 15/06/2017 21:46

Get him to tinker with your flange valve Wink

OMG!!! I just had a hot plumber here too! All I could think of the whole time was this thread Blush

My neighbour, who's hot (and a plumber!) called me from supermarket to see if i need anything..... I jokingly said just ice cream and he turned up with cornettos!

He's going through a divorce, so sadly I'm staying well clear..... but still..... swooon!! Ice cream too!

ThanksMsMay · 15/06/2017 21:52

no one will be tinkering with my flange valve tonight sadly Sad
