jimmyhorns Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Hi, James here. Im 40, going on 20 going on 60 depending on what job I have ahead of me with the house! We live in a 1980's build, which is about to be extended. I have always tried my hand at most things, but in this instance the actual build is going to need to be left to professionals. Lots of work will be required for me to get the old bit of the house ready though, including a fair bit of plumbing and a boiler move. I'm reasonable at plumbing, carpentry, electrics (to the limits of what is allowed of course). By trade I am a surgeon. Looking forward to seeing who I can contribute and what I can learn here.
joe90 Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Welcome to THE forum, surgeon! , that’s a first here I think. We never mind questions, bring it on.

And you'll need to be more careful about your hands than most. In this sector, you'll have fantastic bargaining power ... "Do me a decent roof and I'll replace that knee for you" . And if you do lobotomies , well, you'll have a free extension I recon. Good luck. Ian

SteamyTea Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 This could quickly degenerate, and I am constantly having my posts edited. So I am going to learn some descriptive medical terms, see how long I can get away using them.

newhome Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 See what you’ve started @jimmyhorns. The fannys in this forum have popped up at the mere mention of gynaecology ?. Anyway, welcome. Isn’t that what Adam Kay was training to be? 1
Onoff Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 @jimmyhorns, welcome and apologies. You've probably heard every joke in the book!

Ferdinand Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 Is this going to be an "interesting" thread? Er ... YES !!! Welcome. When your non-grey hairs fall out, and the rest turns grey, you need to catch the last batch to make a wig.

jimmyhorns Posted December 7, 2020 Author Posted December 7, 2020 Do be fair, I am surprised the thread stayed intact as long as it did! 1
Mr Punter Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 All hope was lost when you said gynaecologist. At that stage the thread disappeared into a black hole.
