Sh*t

Turned plumber today after buying some drain rods - we'd had a blocked drain for a few days so the water from the kitchen was nicely stagnating. Stuck my rod in and twisted it around and the water soon flowed, along with various savoury items. Still, best £20 spent ever, especially as Dyno-rod quoted £90+.

To continue the theme of crap Ticketmaster kindly sent me tickets for X-Factor live in Manchester. That's very nice of them, but I hadn't booked them - £60 to see the current hopefuls? No thanks. An admin error apparently... I'd have happily sold them on eBay but I suppose the rightful holders might have had something to say ;-)
