At the passport desk the inspector asked me if I was here for business or pleasure. Neither, I told him. (Funeral).
I'm often told I'm "spectacularly lacking in self-awareness" (sic). At the very least, this appears to be a paradox, considering how finely-tuned and alert I am to even the most subtle nuances of other people's character.
If you're not enjoying something, it's almost always because you're doing it too fast. The powerful do not want you to know this. I am telling you it because I love you.
Plumb as if you have all eternity. That's the best advice in the world if you want your plumbing to be beautiful and well made.
Plumbing is a rather dreamlike, unconscious process that's probably not wise to examine too closely.
My plumbing is a process of many different elements that come together unexpectedly over a long period of time.
Death to a plumber is to become a connoisseur of one's own work.
There really are no child prodigies in plumbing. You have to have been around the track.
Plumbing is done by the alone for the alone.
Lots of people encourage me to speed up, but that makes me unhappy.
When the plumbing's going well, I compare myself to a gambler who doesn't want to leave the table.
Of the complicated emotions that animate my engagement in the plumbing world, bewilderment is the most present.
I don’t think that there’s any human endeavour that requires freedom as much as plumbing does.
I am overcome by my own amazing sloth...Can you please forgive me and believe that it is really because I want to do something well that I don't do it at all?
The essences of things are suspended on the invisible dimension whose vibrance has been denied the human eye at all times save in the intuition of ecstasy.
Plumb in recollection and amazement for yourself.
I’m always pushing back against the last thing I did in some way.
Show people your stuff, listen carefully to their responses, but ultimately, don’t value anyone’s opinion above your own. Be influenced by the plumbers you dislike as well as the plumbers you like.
In plumbing, you can make people think something works when in actual fact it really doesn't work.

A beautiful evening for a beautiful book. This book should be in every secondary school in the country, it's so very important.
I really hope it's not my plumber behind this account, but I fear it may be.
In plumbing, you can make people think something works when in actual fact it really doesn't work.
@OnPlumbing1 I've found myself at the mercy of some whimsical plumbing in my time.
😭😭😭
Once again I have not been longlisted for the int'l plumbers' prize this year. I'm totally fine about it. It doesn't bother me. I'll barely be giving the issue another thought. It's a political circus that in no way speaks to my vocation. There's no need to even ask me about it.
True words
If you want to be a plumber don’t plumb for the theatre. It’ll break your heart.
Amazing page
The cultural tendency to minimise plumbing, or to treat it as a kind of indulgence is now being called into question. I think people are beginning to realise that we think most deeply about the world when we're engaged in plumbing.

On any given day, I'm only about 50% sure that David Foster Wallace actually exists, and the more I see people react to him, the surer I am he's what the neckbeards used to call a "cognitohazard." Like Basil Fawlty or Cthulhu, to contemplate him excessively is to invite disaster.

@jack_sommers Have you tried asking @OnPlumbing1 😉
This organisation does incredible work, but they shouldn't have to fill the gaps left by neoliberal indifference. Shame on FG/FF and everyone who sticks to them like a remora.
This evening, before we had even set up for the soup run, our founder was greeted with an extremely distressing encounter. In the middle of O'Connell street a man who had cold, sore, red, and blistered feet approached and he began explaing how his shoes had been stolen whilst he…
Excuse me quoting my own work, but was reminded of this paragraph from Panenka about the last day of the season.
Old-fashioned English sentences that sound funny nowadays (an ongoing series): "At dinner we swapped stories, and I romanced about some of the tigers I'd nobbled."
Our B&B is like a museum of freecycled furniture.
