The BESH plumbing is blocked up. Where's a man with a big tool when you need one?

[FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn]

Welcome to the BESH plumbing thread, where we have blocked pipes, dirty u-bends and leaks aplenty.

Newbies are welcome to seek out the BESHtionnaire submit highly inflated quotes for consideration. Instadiffers will be massively overcharged and sent packing.

Hmmm, this job is gonna cost a bit

Ah xpost. Good name change!

Like it. It might explain why you have been ttcing for so long tho...

Liking the name change Bugs

Nice name :)

I would like to meet more BESH.

Frankel I'm absolutely delighted for you however am slightly peturbed by the timing of conception and feel it's only fair I tell you NOW that you are carrying the reincarnation of Henry Cecil! Good lineage?

And hang on. Was the foal conceived during Ascot?

I can see BabyFrank getting named Henry or Henrietta.

More to the point, was frank still wearing her hat?

Dolomite you are right, the thought had occurred to me. Frank was indeed conceived the day Sir Henry died. That's the future career sorted - racehorse trainer

On that note, I was born the day Bob Marley died and my little brother believed my dad when he told him I was Bob Marley reincarnated - he was only 5 at the time!

Have some twirling tassles on my glorious buzzwams to celebrate your win frank. I am delighted for you. And disturbed by the reincarnation feme....

Like your new name bugs.

I am feeling sorry for my self but less suicidal since I stopped taking the pill. Silver linings and all that.

I think that's good driz?

bugs I like the new name.

I remember as a young teen being genuinely dismayed when I found out John Lennon had died two weeks after I was born, and therefore I couldn't possibly be his reincarnation. I was a weird kid.

Well, what a day. Bugs you was not rude, we who know each other round these parts know each other and anyone else can fuck off. You don't need to defend yourself against smarmy head up arse comments so don't.

How's the rooted canal doing Draf? I've never had one but am terrified at the thought of ever needing one.

I'm not a runner, I wish I was but I'm just slow and ploddy

I'm having a chilled weekend, might have a workout but generally I'm going to just sleep lots and bum around, this last week has been knackering and stressful and I just need some sleep.

OMG just realised I didn't formally congratulate Frank! Congratulations my love. I couldn't be happier :) you still fartin like a guddun?

I am indeed Rasp, though I now seem to be on quality rather than quantity

I'm currently at the races as I'm on duty for work and I'm starving! I've just got to deal with one more race at 8.05 then I can head home. We're having lunch with HWHNN's dad, step-mum, brother and brother's girlfriend tomorrow so I shall have to try not to grin like a loon when they ask us if we have any news!

Formally on MN - Frank I'm bloody delighted for you!

(o🎉) (o🎉) that's my exploding nipple tassels!

Oofff how exciting. Do you think they will guess?

I'm having a mini dilemma. We've been pretty open with people about impending IVF and it maybe that everyone is just being super supportive because we've had our first tests this week but all I feel like I've talked about all week is IVf. I feel like IVF woman. Anyone have any tactful ways to let people know ill tell them rather than them ask? Or should I just change the subject. To be honest over the next few months I think I'd like to become a recluse.

That's so lovely Frank - do you think you'll tell them or will you hold off for a bit?

Hope the root canal wasn't as painful as it sounds Drizz.

Hope you have a good weekend Rasp. I don't know which way to trun for TV this weekend - Glasto, Wimbles and isn't the Tour starting too?

I went shopping today to try and do something productive rather than just squelch around at home in my own snot. Found that many trews would not fit over my calves amazed at own ability to build muscle without burning ANY fat probably have too much testosterone Did buy some lovely tangerine nail varnish though

Also, opened my curtains this morning to be confronted by instadiffer couple across the road taking their baby for its first walk. This did not put me in a Fun Mood.

Oh yeah, and resurrecting recycling the German words conversation, I forgot that I really like strumpfhosen (pantyhose or tights, to you and I). I am continually in search of the glucklichhosen (happy trousers).

I have no experience of this whatsoever Rasp, but just a suggestion, if people ask, could you say something to the effect of: 'Everything's under control and I'll let you know if and when there are any developments'?

Rasps I generally make it sound really boring so they don't think there's any more to talk about. Along the lines of: "How's everything with.. you know?" "Oh, nothing happening, just waiting to see doctors, more waiting lists, waiting waiting blah blah.." then change subject very quickly.

It's a little evasive, but seems to work.

Just read it back and it sounds a bit like business-speak. You could personalise humanise it of course.
