As the not-so-great Geldof once said: "I don't like Mondays"

This morning I broke my boiler whilst trying to fix it.

Now my printer has decided to die

Grrrrr

Oh dear not a good start to the week at all. Can you fit a new one yourself ? That's half the cost I think.

Yes I can fix the boiler, a pain in the Yaris, that's all.

I refuse to pay their rates.
The part is only £18 ish and I'd bet I'd be charged about £80+.
It's a 5 minute job if I can locate the part.

It's like the guy who goes Sky Diving, and his Parachute fails to open, as he is freefalling he sees a guy in Overalls shooting up towards him, he shouts "Do you know anything about Parachutes" the guy replies "No, do you know anything about Gas Boilers".

I think the words to the song were written after a shooting in America , the murderer went into a school or college and shot and killed many youngsters . When caught by police and questioned why , he said " I don't like Mondays "
