Phone NHS Direct and say you have
a problem with your erection.

When the health visitor comes out to have a chat and give you a check up,
whip out a set of ladders, 13mm ring spanner and
point them to the roof.

Serious though, I'm sure there's someone around your neck
of the woods that would be more than happy to help.

Best of luck and fingers crossed its sorted soon :)

"Gesture...!! " yeah right ... Not ****#ng suicide , i dont mind helping out if at the end of the day im still alive ... Slate roof and -1c Don't go down to well on my "Stay alive meter " ..just thinking of this gives me a 9+ 60db in the red / Brown zone ..!! , IE.. Brown as in shitting it ..!!! .. im all for helping out but self preservation is quite a big thing .!

( Wife looking at me very strange now... think she is checking life insurance paperwork ) ....looking for the section " **** ON A ICE-ROOF" part ..!

As i thought .... IT DONT PAY-OUT. ( typical of that lot ) ..(thank puck)

Anyway ..John ... When the weather is better and iv a 95% chance of living ( ill give 5% for me being a twonk ) ...ill sort your Antenna , Until then mate 73's.. :)
