    To a working person every Friday is a good Friday, It marks the end of the working week and the start of 'my' time to do as I want, If we go back to the Origins of Easter when Our Lord was crucified, whether you're a holy man or no, there's nothing good about execution/murder/death, so how did it get the name good friday,
    Anyrode, Happy Easter to all at Screwfix,:)

    I've just googled it, the word 'good' is an old word for holy, so the real name is Holy Friday, :rolleyes:

    that would't do you any good, i went in my greenhouse and was pottering about and contented when I went in to make a brew the wifes on stepladders stripping paper in the kitchen, Its her child physiology attempt to get me going with the decorating, It did't work I made a brew and remarked how well she's doing, then the manure hit the ventilation system and the short version of the long story is, I'm now having a minute from the stripping the walls while the steam builds up in steamer :(

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to book a table in a nice restaurant in advance & distract them, than waiting for them to decide what they want you to do ??

    Got to be honest - I've turned the phone off and spent the day in the garden. Put a beer (or 2) in the fridge this morning and about to chill. Not planning anything this weekend but a big central heating job next week to look forward to.

    I think we should all hide out in Toms tavern, it can be a rehabilitation centre for over worked, over powered, over ruled and down trodden blokes.:(
