Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Fleechborn and Hayley's a little bit of pod. Welcome
to a little bit of pod. Now, guys, I've got
a DIY question.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
My toilet's doing this thing at the moment where it
just starts filling itself up again because it's got a
little trickle coming, Yes, little trickle.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
I just recently replaced one of these.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Now I can't even get the lid off my toilet.
There's some magical lock to get it off, you know,
like the buttons. I think it's somehow screwed in. Look,
I don't know how.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
You're asking the wrong person.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
The like I don't I want to Like part of
me is like just get the plumber. But that's going
to be like this just to do a water we
can just a washer.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't want to be included flush.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
It might need a new flush system, but they're not
that much. They're not that much in they're pretty universal. Okay,
we'll take yours out, take it into a plumbing world
or AKA. I will say, I just need a new
one of these.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Where are you gonna Are you going to piss on
the shower for a little bit while that while that
that's gone. Do you have a tap?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
No, it's it's in behind the it's headen Because I
was going to say sometimes if it annoys you have
a night you can turn. It's just annoying because I
can hear it and I don't. I mean, we just
ol apartment building pays for water, obviously, but we don't
individually pay, so I'm not like, it's just I hear
it going it like and it stops and I'm like, oh,

(01:22):
that is annoying me. Yes, repeatitive sound and it's like
it's like trying to sleep in a hotel or a
motel or an ABNB and you can see the shower dripping, yes, drip,
and you're like, I've turned the shower off, why is
it still fucking jump? I always unplugged the minibar fridges.
You always hear the I.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Could not care if stuff in there is perishable, Like
the second I'm in there.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I don't care if your morrow bars going soft.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm not going to eat the morrow. Then are
you going to sort the sound?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well? I was like, I can get a plumber, but
it's like I don't want to be like I don't
the look of oh you can't fix this yourself. No, no, no,
surely there's a YouTube.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
This is a man complex about this.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm very reluctant to hire a trading listen electrician.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yees see, I'll always get an electrition. But it just
seems to me that replacing it's just gonna be easy,
like a little rubber bung right ow.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Either the steals gone all of the actual mechani in itself,
they don't last forever because they made of plastic. Janea
bring back the good old days of an Armitage shanks
or a total toilet, none of these flash posh brands
of their plastic bits and pieces.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, okay, it's a good old days. Well maybe yeah,
maybe I have a look on YouTube and see how
we go.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, it's probably a good idea.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
