It is all in the timing

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Some of you may know that we replaced our entire central heating system in the early months of 2007. What none of you will know is that after I had pulled up all those nails and lifted the hardboard that lies over the floorboards (definitely not the most bizarre flooring combination in this block I can assure you!), and after the lovely men had performed noisily for an entire week... a decision was made that the hardboards would henceforth be attached to the floorboards with screws instead of nails.

This decision was made by @, who also decided it was his responsibility to buy the screws and do the screwing.

Last week @ bought the screws.

Yesterday he finally got down to screwing.

Whilst he was doing this there was a knock at the door and I opened up to be greeted by a Bobby. Said Bobby was enquiring if I knew the woman who lived in a flat across the street. I don't.

He said "It's nothing to worry about, we are just trying to find her."

I closed the door again and filled @ in on what he might have missed.

A wee while later @ said:

"Do you think it looks at all suspicious that I was screwing the floorboards down when the copper was trying to trace a missing woman?"
