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.

I'm not at all sure that the Union would like that. Demarcation is important.
Please, please, please tell me that you at least got his contact details so he could do it the next time?
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

Re: Anyone know a handyman?
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.Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Women are brill at multi-tasking.big mervyn wrote:Mrs BM always insists on holding the vacuum nozzle next to the drill to collect the dust at source. Avoids a lot of mess.
Imagine being able to hold the vacuum nozzle beside you while bringing the tea/beers at the same time.

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

Good sir, the first lesson in "men stuff" would actually be DO NOT SHAVE.Once a Knight wrote: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.Snipe Watson wrote:Guys Poor old Damo is a beginner and you are talking about high level skills and even involving weemin.

There should be night classes in "men stuff"!

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.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

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.Once a Knight wrote:My Hairy friend, there was nothing in what I said that would in any way debar a chap from growing a manly beard or 'tache.

Look ............... yes look, I offer you this sort of dickhead:
and worse again
Even as fine fellow as Rutchie just looks like a feckwit.
I think we can all agree the first two might be put to death with no objections?
