Eep! That'll teach me to post late at night after boozing with jo&stv. Either that, or the stress of alphabetising 100+ scripts is beginning to tell. My sense of the alphabet always disintegrates at the end of term. (Along with the rest of me). Have sorted, thank you.
The Evil Landlord is more or less planning to have a builder look at my room with a view to fungus-eradication and other assaults on its current resemblance to the House of Usher, a proceeding I suspect will entail a thoughtful pause and then that sharp intake of breath and long whistle which says that, in his professional opinion, this is going to be very, very expensive. However, EL has been unable to find a recommendation for a builder who is actually competent and not too expensive, suggesting that, basically, "competent builder" is a contradiction in terms. (The Army of Reconstruction who built the garage achieved an imposing edifice which leaked like a sieve the first time it rained).
Anyone know any good builders, or, at a pinch, builders with cherished first-born we can kidnap and threaten to expose to alternative music, atheism and liberal politics as retribution should the quality of the work slip?
