Working for Free
Would you believe it! My Boiler has broke and I cannot find a trained plumber who will fix it for expenses only!

You could always try telling them that you'll use them again if the boiler proves to work successfuly, and that if you get some money as a result of your house being warmer, they may even get paid at some indeterminate point in the future.
Oh, and don't forget, you can always promise them that they'll be the first plumber you think of in the future when you can afford to pay a plumber.
This is getting funnier and funnier :D
Strange - I'm not getting alerts to new postings!

I especially love when casting calls for unpaid/expenses only jobs say they're looking for big 'name' actors. Doesn't happen much but I have seen it a couple of times. That takes a hell of a lot of chutzpah.
Personally I think we should all stop acting, become plumbers and let the plumbers do the acting. I'm sure we could find a critic somewhere who would describe it as 'a breath of freach air, letting new talents flow into the world of water and pipes'.
Well, we all know that anyone can be a plumber- all they need is a blow-torch!
Someone told me that I was a very good plumber when I fixed a washer once... thinking of going pro- what do you think?
You know, I'm a little disappointed Alan Brent hasn't chipped in yet. He usually has a groaner or two.
Bless you one and all, my house may be cold but you have all warmed my heart.
Reply No 14 Monty!! It was a good'en too!!
Oh gods...I am ashamed. Brain has clearly given up for the day.
You think your brain has given up on you, Monty- I just spent the last couple of minutes trying to figure out who "brian" was...
And why had he given up on you...
To add to this discussion, don't you find that plumbers take offence when you ask them "go on, show us some plumbing then"?
One more thing, a lesson in false economics. After having to remove an unwanted swimming pool in my kitchen after my fiancee's useless attempt to change a tap, I realised it would have been much cheaper to have called the plumber in the first place!
Producers take note...
And respect to plumbers!
I find I get more applicationns for unpaid plumber posts that require nudity.
Maybe actors should learn to do that thing plumbers do when they suck air through their teeth and say, "It's gonna cost ya.." every time they quote for a job!

I am currently laughing my @rse off, these comments are priceless ( nothing to do with the wine). Leilani that was tremendous !
Free entertainment has become a bad habit of mine. ;)
I'll be here all week!
I could be really sarcastic but sometimes seriously what they call food I have just been supplied with a bag of pasta....right I am not a vegitarian or a vegan or I require meet!
The thing is knowerdays no one will do anything for you unless there is something in it for them end of!
How many plumbers does it take to change a light bulb?
Ten...one to change it and the other nine to say they could have done it better!

I'm gonna ask my plumber to do it nude!! Of course I'll take my clothes off too if it makes him feel more comfortable.
And it goes without saying that it will be a 'closed' kitchen. Just me and him.

Well Sarah, I can't concentrate on anything now - what with all the visions of a potential plumber in the nuddy :-))
Perhaps we should write a letter to The Spanner demanding better working conditions? We could ask as many plumbers as possible to sign it. Although, I must confess, The Spanner's forum has gone down in my estimations recently, there's loads of teenage-worky-wannabe's on there who think they can just turn up and fit bidets after seeing Hard Scale Musical.
