Flipping heck this is a busy thread! Got the joiner from our development to do it.

If I had the tools I'm sure I could attempt it but I want it done right. I'm not totally useless but I'm not brilliant.

Sorry, you got a "chippy" to so a "Sparkys" job? :shock:

I'm not at all sure that the Union would like that. Demarcation is important. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Please, please, please tell me that you at least got his contact details so he could do it the next time?
I think the edited version is possibly nearer the truth :lol:
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Nah the joiners putting a load of stuff up on the wall.

I'm handy with computers if that helps :lol:

Women are brill at multi-tasking.

Imagine being able to hold the vacuum nozzle beside you while bringing the tea/beers at the same time. :D
I heard definitive confirmation this very week that multi-tasking is a myth, it is mentally as well as physically impossible to do two things at once, though this would come a a shock to my grandfather who claimed to be able to do 3 things simultaneously, whistle, fart and drive a car. :shock:

Multitasking does exist. I though believe it is better do to one job properly, rather than make a hash of a pile of jobs.

They should have given them a proper 3000psi engine driven one, would have broken his arms and split his head with first pull of the trigger :D

I understand that, but these are basic life skills that guys just aren't taught anymore. It's like shaving. Most men squirt out some foam and hack away with a Mach 5 or whatever. In reality, a badger hair brush and a tub of Taylor's used to lather up on the face really gets the job done. A nice double edged safety razor followed by a hot towel and a rub over with a wet alum stone. It's not rocket science but it's the best shave you'll ever get and most men now don't even know that type of shaving exists.

There should be night classes in "men stuff"! Image
Good sir, the first lesson in "men stuff" would actually be DO NOT SHAVE.

There is, however, no need for you to be prescriptive in saying that it's the only way. For those of us who enjoy being clean shaven, the method I have indicated is one of life's simple pleasures. :thumleft:

Oh dear Your Grace, you started so well but gentlemen have clean shaven faces or beards. The Moustache is a horrible affectation suitable only for lounge lizards, lifters of gentlemen's attire and Australians.

Look ............... yes look, I offer you this sort of dickhead:
