    When the roof leaks

    Is it wise to drill more fecking holes in it?

    Coz that's what appears to be happening overhead at the moment.

    Ah, Ted, that's so that the water can bounce back out again and reduce the splashes on the floor.

      Yes, it stops the water pooling and causing more damage or a total collapse.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        The best way to stop that is to remove the roof altogether and dig a drainage channel in the floor.

          Seriously worst case it's not that hard to put on a new roof, I've helped a mate do it and the only real issue was making sure people were safe up there

          Her ex left and a matter months later she real problems with a leaking roof

          And that was because her ex had 'fixed' the roof years ago by putting big metal buckets in the loft under the leak and one night she was eating dinner with her kids and part of the roof caved in

          That was when she found out she had no house insurance, hence why we all chipped in and helped built a new roof on

          If we can do it I'm sure you can

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            On the roof? That'll be to cover up the holes

            Smart thinking

              I don't think I want to go up on the roof of a 6 storey 1960s pile of tulipe building, thanks.

              Thankfully the driller seems to have buggered off now.

              Hammer man has arrived to replace him.

                If they have reversed the gravitational field, they may simply be draining the water ingress.

                  They told him to stop, cos it was Hammer Time.
