Quote: chipolata @ November 19 2010, 2:25 PM GMTI have this problem in my bathroom. Something's wrong with he pressure, but as I'm middle-class I can't fix it myself.
It's nature's way of providing work for everyone, is it not? Oh ok.
Hmm, lemme see, lemme see, vented or unvented system, is the lack of presh just on hot or cold or both, and if it is both, do you have mixers or seprate taps, do you have a servicing valve on supply to bathroom - it may have been partially turned off - is your bathroom on ist floor or higher ie. last outlet at top of building - if so this could indicate a leak on main outside or your supply and the water would then struggle to reach top at max pressure. Ring water board, ask them if they have any reported leaks on your street/road/avenue, and/or if they they have turned the pressure down on your main as part of a conservancy trial (they do this a fair bit, but mainly in summer, I doubt they'd do it now, but worth asking as last resort). Type of heating system is no.1 importance tho, vented/un. Always glad to be of service to middle class chums cos it makes me feel good and or superior.

Is that really how you got those splashes on your trousers?
Yes that was the wetness on my trousers! Another thing that annoys me is when some people talk to you they spit when they talk and they wonder why your acting like a goalie diving for cover in conversation.

You're lucky.
People don't talk to me.
They just spit.
Recently I got into the lift at work with 3 of the guys from the post room. One of them pretended that I'd pinched his bum as I reached for the floor buttons. It was funny at the time, but now it's turned into a big in-joke that I'm a bit uncomfortable with.
Apart from bum pinching being passé, I don't want to be part of any kind of role-reversal irony, or court-case.
Tell tham to f**k off.

Christ, you have some problems at work! How do you still have a job?

Bum-pinching will never be passé, surely?

I must be doing something right, as the person who I made cry last week bought me a box of chocolates to say sorry.

In my old workplace, a woman (whom I didn't know) stuck her hand down the front of my slacks. Being a bloke: I felt I had to laugh it off, to view it as nowt more than a harmless prank.
A few months later, my mate, Tel, pinned said woman to the floor and did the same thing to her - only to be carted off to the nick, and charged with sexual assault.
Seems to be one rule for women, and a completely different rule for men.

Indeed, society's rules are very different.
And so are the legal rules in many cases.
Did you know a woman cannot be convicted for indecent exposure?

You'd have thought the prosecution would have known that before going to court then.

"A nurse has been cleared by a court of indecent exposure after walking naked outside a neighbour's house."

It certainly shouldn't be. I feel very strongly that if women want equal rights, it should be the same for the bad stuff too. Sexual harassment is the same regardless of who does it to who- screw the 'accepted social norms'. Everyone should be equally accountable.
I would hope that if I did something inappropriate, that I would face the same penalties as my male counterparts.
