We've been in the same appartment for 6yrs and had 6yrs of plumbing problems and flooding. It's always in the same room, the kitchen. There's been the water heater, the leaky radiator, water seeping in thru' the walls (on 2 facades), twice water leaking thru' the ceiling (no one ever found the cause of that), the tap, the water pressure, the pipes, blocked pipes, leaky pipes, you name it we've had it! And each time something's repaired, something else goes a little while later. We decided to do up the kitchen a bit, put in new cupboards, a new dishwasher and new work tops, we even moved the cooker to a better place in the kitchen - Feng Shui wise. But paff, yet again a flood from upstairs, and 3 plumbers have not been able to find the cause!
I've read about how emotions can be a cause of water problems. Any tips on how to put an end to this once and for all? We live in an appartment block, ground floor. The kitchen is in the north-east corner, front door at the north.

I appreciate empires history etc, but what in the world warrants us being called great. Isin't a wonder why they call us pompus? I think its about time we dropped the "great".

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids ..
"WOW,"
the social worker exclaims,"are they ALL YOURS???"



"Yep they are all mine," the flustered momma sighs, having heard that
question a thousand times before. She says, "Sit down Leroy."



All the children rush to find seats.



"Well," says the social worker, "then you must be here to sign up. I'll
need all your children's names."



"This one's my oldest - he is Leroy." "OK, and who's next?" "Well,
this
one he is Leroy, also."



The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through
the
oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to
the eldest girl, named Leighroy! "All right," says the caseworker. "I'm
seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?"



Their Momma replied, "Well, yes-it makes it easier. When it is time to
get
them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, 'Leroy!'



'An' when it's time for dinner, I just yell 'Leroy!' an' they all comes
a
runnin.



'An' if I need to stop the kid who's running into the street, I just
yell
'Leroy' and all of them stop. It's the smartest idea I ever had, namin'
them all Leroy."



The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead
and
says tentatively, "But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not
the
whole bunch?"




"I call them by their last names."

The democrats have been traditionally suspicious about the designs of the Pakistan. In the Kargil war, Bill Clinton took a decisive stand against Pakistan, which forced them to abort their mission, much to the chagrin of Musharaff, the architect of that adventure. Now, is Pakistan justified in having apprehension about the support and aid that they had been promised by the Bush administration.

I work in a job that is mostly dominated by women so the gossip is very high.

So the other day, a couple of women were talking about another girl that had to go home because she was sick but immediately they started talking about her and passing accusations of her really having a hangover. I have no idea if the girl did have a hangover or if she was sick for real. I do know she did look terrible and didn't look well at well.

This girl also has a history of being out because she is "sick" and/or leaving early for not feeling well. She is also 22.

But the accusations that the other women passed around really made me mad and definately lose a little respect towards them. I felt like saying something but i didn't want to put myself out their like that...I just felt it was wrong because they really do not know if she was sick or not. I just hate two-face people and I can not see how they can work with someone so closely and then turn around and talk about them.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down.

Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

Chuck Norris gave Mona Lisa that smile.

Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.

Contrary to popular belief, America is not a democracy, it is a Chucktatorship

Bad Day at Work

Next time you have a bad day at work...think of this guy...

Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He
performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is
an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.2 on
FM dial in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job
experience contest.


Needless to say, she won.




Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a
bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work so
I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not
so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must
bore you with a few technicalities of my job.

As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit
to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time of year the water is quite cool.
So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial
water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of
the sea.
It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to
the diver through a garden hose which is taped to the air hose.


Now this sounds like a darn good plan and I've used it several
times with no compl aints. What I do when I get to the bottom and start
working is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This
floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.


Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch.


So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse.

Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my
back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The
hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.


Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick
to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate.

When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually
grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt. I informed the dive
supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were
unclear due to the that he, along with five other divers, were all
laughing hysterically.


Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make
three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five
minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry
decompression.



When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.
As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running
down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt
as soon as I got in the chamber.



The cream put the fire out but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt
was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work think about how much worse it
would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.



Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job".

This is probably more related to Australia than other countries as I don't know their internal politics, but all welcome to answer. My own thoughts are that since land values have trebled and rates accordingly, the councils who are supposed to represent the landowners have become Dictators.
