Juts tripped up the stairs carrying a freshly brewed mug of tea. Shin sore, air blue and tea all over carpet
Sorry but this made me laugh. It's your own fault, it's how it's written.

Taking a full on stamp (accidental) on the foot at football last night, from a feller with studs on. Big toenail has already gone dark blue. ?

Get your affairs in order before you are too weak, do you want your soup in a bowl or a mug?

Don't worry about my soup, just save yourself while you still can. It's too late for me. Goodbye cruel world.

Steady fella, I wasn't offering to get the freakin stuff
... I'll put that little lapse down to your weakened condition! 
Just make sure you write a note for your designated care giver with 'bowl' or 'mug' written on it
(if not too drowsy you can attempt a picture but I can't be responsible if you can't draw and it looks like you're asking for an enama
Good luck, we'll see you on the flipside
edit: btw, did I mention we're all playing golf in the sunshine tomorrow

B&Q being idiots. Our shower/bath mixer that we've had just over a year has failed (water not hot enough) - something to do with a 'cartridge' but you can't get replacement cartridges for it, so we need the whole shower replaced. Under warranty but they told us we need to bring them the old one in order to get the replacement. So we need to pay for two separate plumber call outs to take the old one out and fit the new one a day later? Don't be stupid - we'll take the replacement, have the whole job done in one go, then bring the broken one back to you. No, they won't have that. We have to buy the new one outright and then return the old one for a refund. Now I wonder if there might be complications when it comes to getting the refund?

That's the norm with warranty components I'm afraid, can't really expect the supplier to give you a free replacement, they would never see most people again! and then they have no recourse with their supplier.
To be fair to B&Q, I've never had any issues getting a refund when returning stuff.

Have you considered that they might simply be protecting themselves from being scammed? An irritation, certainly. But B&Q are not being idiots!B&Q being idiots.

Hope you're right! They would obviously have our names and addresses etc if we didn't return the faulty one though.
Instead scamming the customer who has to pay an extra £100 for another call-out? There must be a middle ground.

But what if the component they supply isn't actually faulty? B&Q supply mainly to DIY'ers, I would bet they get a lot of incorrect diagnosis.
I would have expected that the cartridge would be a replaceable component and the plumber to repair it in one visit, even if it meant nipping off to the supplier to get a part.
