Yep.. isanumpty….:D

Have agues which numpty didn’t drain his water system down before the cold snap:confused:
and have a guess which numpty now has an exploded bathroom tap innards
which leak when the pump is on.. which .. in turn causes the pump to repeat itself trying to maintain pressure…:rolleyes:
And have agues which numpty didn’t recognise this at the time…
before he thought he had a knnackerd pump and ordered a replacement.( cancelled just in time):eek:

Which numpty do you suppose lost a 13kg cylinder of gas to the air cus he didn’t turn it off
before he realise he had a dicky reg.:eek:

And which numpty has a 600w inverter and an 800w microwave:(

Tell yer what… this motorhoming stuff isa doin my head in… thinking of trading it in fer a 50 year old boat …:confused:
Least I’d get the chance to go down with her :D

I bet every member of this forum has been a numpty at some point, me included, it can be a learning curve, hope it all sorted and you wont forget to do it again.

Yep I am a numpty too.

I mistake is only wrong is you do not learn from it!
 
Hiya Numpty,(ajs)
Water problems, Gas problems, and Electicity problem all at the same time, got to be a record! Think Bike, more time on Motorhome maintenance means more time on Bike.;)
Like the Meerkat says SIMPLE, or in your case NUMPTY!:p
Hope you get everything sorted, almost time for Hayfield.:D

Happy Camping:)

Numptyism ( is that a word ? ) or absentmindedness are much the same thing, and we have ALL been there. My particular one was leaving 5 gallons of water, all we had, in a container by the side of the road when the pump had packed up. Only discovered the fact 200 miles later when Madam wanted a cuppa. But I take comfort from the wonderful Russian proverb on the subject.

Absentmindedness is searching for the horse you are riding

Who's NEVER performed at least one of the aforementioned numptyistic (love these words) acts. Be a short list methinks. :D

Numptyness,.; displaying a more than average amount of numptistic tendencies.

Numpty-Phobia,.; having a dislike or allergy of Numpties.

Numpties,.; more than one Numpty.

Numptying,.; the total fumbling, or mis managing a basic skill.

Numpty-osis,.; A medical condition causing one to exhibit a more than usual degree of Numptyisms.

Numpty mania,.; a phenomina displayed by those with nothing better to do than to analise or comment on the Numpty:confused:

Numpty comes from the Greek; nomptasis..... which being a pronown and a Greecean adjective Nunptaty..... was an integral comment of derision upon the subspecies englatossera an inhabitant of isles north of Watford.

however Muppit is a latin derived word from the Muppetas;which is easily translated to "to be manipulated as a puppet" therefore we must assume that the former, being an indication that the receptor is of a total lack of motor skills would deem the statement an insult, differs slightly from the later, which implies of being susceptable to manipulation.

In my treatis: of 1992 " The Cognitve prusiac linkage twixt ascerpaic pressurmpturism and archaic supperextorampismatisms", I touched on the possible links of the forstated words in chapter 711 under the sub heading "veropropertabalisms". So you might like to seek it out in your library to find a more substantial explanation.

I find I'm repeating things in my head a bit OCDish
'Turn off the gas, turn on the fuel, don't forget to turn on the battery isolator'
'Turn off, turn on turn on'
'turn off, turn on, turn on'
I'll just check again......

Permission to join the numpty club please, just spent two hours waiting for a tractor to turn up and tow me off the grass verge and back onto the road. Grass looked fine as I reversed onto it. That'll teach me not to get out and test it before driving straight on. Of course as usual in these cases it had to be in the middle of nowhere without a humanoid in sight to help. Duh
 
permission

Permission granted Nowhereman
