"Being a sparky I make a living getting big things in small holes" (Doubles as a cheesy chat up line lol)

The one that the boss really hates when he‘s talking too much garbage : “The van is loaded up, the tools are on. Why don’t you show us how a real spark struts his stuff and I stay here and talk a load of **** for you.”

　
Today to the apprentice: “They say that two heads are better than one. In your case, one would have been better than none.” Note: He drilled through a wall today and smacked both legs of a ring main. Luckily for him we are stripping it out anyway. But I haven’t told him that…lol

When bitching about somebody and one of my personal favourites :biggrin:: “I wouldn’t trust him/her to sit the right way round on the toilet.
