I heard a strange dripping noise. I went out to investigate and saw that whilst the tank was filling up it was overflowing profusely. Why?? It has never happened before, and there was an awful lot of wastage...i couldn't even catch it in a bucket as it was running down a wall...which by the way has left a very damp and peeling wall now now!! Help...i really don't want this happening again!!

daisy dukes,

yes you are right. They do help out for things like that or anything that is messy, smelly or high up off the ground.

I wouldn't be without one!

I wouldn't know.



I found my magical creature years ago and I daresay I would be hard pushed to find another one now!



Some advice.....

Men just love to feel that they are useful. Perhaps you should change the game plan. Start sounding very vulnerable, helpless and girly.. That ususally works!



When someone does come in to sort your ball cock.

-Make sure you thank them profusely and

-say who you could never have managed that without then and

-aren't they ever so clever and

-flutter your eyelashes and

-look in awe of them



Do try to sound as if you mean it....!!!



and remember look your absoulte best

- get the slap on

-make sure your hair is done.



Surely someone will be taken in enough to do you a favour for a nice cup of tea.



Best of Luck

Dear all,

Wasn't suggesting that Daisy Dukes had to get married to get her ball cock fixed and certainly not to ply her charms on someone's husband!



Surely there is a nice single man out there who likes to be useful?

Daisy

The local ball cocks are crap out there, if you know anyone coming out from UK who can bring you one it could well save you money in the long run.

And keep looking, I'm sure there's someone out there for you, come on lad's I'm sure she's not that frightening, help her out....................Well perhap's a little frightening lol

John Webster is a charming Englishman of the Old School who runs Cyprus Solutions. Ring him on 0533 836 7094 and I'm sure he'll rush round with his ballcock in his hand.

They sell crap ones in the U K as well so be selective.

They may be crap for use in water tanks, but they are GREAT as a long lasting ball for your dog, and because of the "nipple" thingy on the side, the dog doesn't know which way its going to bounce - great fun...... And best of all they only cost 3 tl as opposed to 15 for a "real" dog ball that lasts my dog a few minutes at most!!
