funny
Humour (Commonwealth English) or humor (American English) is the tendency of experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion.
People of all ages and cultures respond to humour. Most people are able to experience humour—be amused, smile or laugh at something funny (such as a pun or joke)—and thus are considered to have a sense of humour. The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humour would likely find the behaviour inducing it to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational. Though ultimately decided by personal taste, the extent to which a person finds something humorous depends on a host of variables, including geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education, intelligence and context. For example, young children may favour slapstick such as Punch and Judy puppet shows or the Tom and Jerry cartoons, whose physical nature makes it accessible to them. By contrast, more sophisticated forms of humour such as satire require an understanding of its social meaning and context, and thus tend to appeal to a more mature audience.
Hi all, please can you help with this problem:
My original bath shower mixer tap was 12yrs old and developed a problem so I thought I would buy a whole new similar style unit. I fitted the new taps and all was ok for a week or two. Then i noticed the hot tap would only turn two full turns but...

Over the last two or three months my parents have noticed a slimy residue forming in the small raised lawn at the front of their property. It is colourless, odourless and occupies a patch less than 1 square metre of lawn. It is also directly above where the underground soil pipes and then join...
Hi Guys n Gals,
I saw a floorstanding radiant fire today (with my engineer), the fires only means of support was obviously its legs, the gas pipe and the spigot thru the closure plate. There was, and has never been any screws securing it to the tiled wall since it was installed

Hello, This may be a long one, so please bear with me. I have an alpha combi boiler, but of late it has been struggling to heat the water (heating worked ok). I called in a plumber who changed the diaphragm, and it seemed a bit improved. But gradually it got worse, and it was a struggle to...

I normally prefer to use copper olives. I feel that they are easier to seal and find that if I want to remove an olive to make alterations I can remove a copper olive fairly easily but I think the brass olives tend to bite into the copper pipe making removal difficult.
What do others use? Are...

Hi - I know flux does 2 things - helps solder flow and cleans the pipe -
Am i right in saying when you heat a pipe up without any flux on you can sort of see a thin layer on the pipe ie when you move the blow torch up and down. Am i right in guessing this is an oxide layer - would this be...
We recently had a new combi boiler fitted in our kitchen. The installer used a rubber adapter to fit the condensate pipe directly into a 40mm boss on an adjacent soil pipe (the adaptor is a rubber ring with ridges around the outside and inside).
Now, before putting drywall over this area...
Been out to a customer today and after bleeding radiators and sorting water pressure they refused to pay.
There is a burst water main up the road and therefore she has no water and so boiler says no pressure. She seems to think that I haven't done my job properly which i know i have. She had...

I have a very good success rate of the getting them off using a junior hacksaw. However, it's one of the most annoying things to have to do. Do these work? Because at 20 squids, they want to.
I thought with all the talk of a 'double dip' recession us plumbers would need a funny thread to keep morale up. Let's hear the funniest (looking back) things that have happened to you as a plumber.
If ever you are in doubt that new-build plumbing standards are slipping in Britain, here's my...
