All better.
Last night: One Job
UPDATE:
It's still a mess. Any good electrician will tell you that surface wiring is second rate.

Black cable would have been less noticeable
shoulda moved the TV to the other side of the fireplace.
Was it the same lad who done it?
Tomorrow’s headline. Downstairs resident asks why fire came through the ceiling.

This is the news.
He was probably distracted by the whips and chains. How is SweatBox going these days Buzz?
“SweatBox”? My Virgin broadband just had a wireless router and some cabling. Did I miss a box somewhere?
Its a club Buzz runs.
giving him a plug?
Should have offered cash for the ash job. The “fix” is a complete mess.
That’s still crap
This is electrifying news
Poor lad,that fixer… his hearth was in the right place though.

Why is the wire so manky?
Poor Buzz, gets indignant and rants on Twitter for attention but is shot down immediately as someone points out the laminate floor underneath.
But there’s a new hearth going in tweets Buzz
Did you tell the engineer Buzz?
No I didn’t, he should have asked? say Buzz
Of course Buzz, while your gulping tea being non verbal, those stupid non-psychic engineers working for Virgin who see a fireplace with a wooden floor underneath should KNOW there’s a new hearth going in and not that the fireplace is never used which was my first thought.
It’s still a mess. Any good electrician will tell you that surface wiring is second rate.

So you think the Virgin media guy should have chased the cable into the wall, and plastered it back up again, and painted it too? ..’Sake.
Even trunking would’ve been an improvement.
