Ever noticed that ....

You are always doing something marginal when the boss walks past.

Or important letters that contain no errors will develop errors in the post.

C'mon then guys, let's have a 'Murphys Law' moan!!

You're stuck behind someone in your Cappo :twisted: :twisted:

The first time for 15 mins the road opens out so you can actually see to overtake - there's sure to be a caravan trundling slowly towards you - which will crawl past you - at exactly the point where the clear stretch of road runs out! :twisted: Murphy's Law in action!

Murphy’s Law in action

Postby John R Walters » Tue Dec 13, 2005 21:04

Murphy’s Law in action for other people:-

We are having a 3 meter square picture window fitted to our Villa in Spain. The aluminium wood effect frame has already been fitted. After much chasing lorry arrived this morning with much fanfare, fitted with Hiab crane and specialist lifting equipment.

Side measurement were fine BUT…… the top to bottom measurements was 3 cms too big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Ouch!

For once I had screwed the nut and got the supplier to come and take the measurement for the order so it’s not my problem. This window is laminated, tinted, double glazed and is a vacuum sealed unit, and to Cap it all – no pun intended- we are 50ks away up in the mountains!

Bet someone is as sick as a parrot
