Last night I got pissed for the first time in months and woke up to the realisation I’ve spent £600 on tools from screwdix

Re: What have you done today thread?
Any, I’ve no idea what I need with makita something or others - but it said brushless. Think I’ve got an orbital sander for all the sanding I never do an impact wrench that looks like a drill and a drill that looks like a drill. I distinctly remember thinking that one will be better at helping me build the pagoda I don’t have the wood for ( or know how to build).
The wife tells me I left an electric scooter in another shopping trolley so she’s taken the iPad and hidden it

Re: What have you done today thread?
I'e just asked a question on an FB page about cooking in France that's causing all sorts of reactions from mild horror and disbelief to something verging on apoplexy!
I've made a beef thing using red wine today and have a bit more than half a bottle left. I don't particularly like wine and don't drink at home. So I asked -
Can I freeze leftover red wine?
Answers have ranged from 'yes' to 'the gendarmes are on their way to escort you to the border'

You can reduce then freeze the wine in an ice cube tray and use later for cooking.Noggin wrote: Sun May 16, 2021 9:23 pm I'e just asked a question on an FB page about cooking in France that's causing all sorts of reactions from mild horror and disbelief to something verging on apoplexy!![]()

Re: What have you done today thread?
Dinked a parked car with the Tesco truck tonight. I did the decent thing and knocked on the blokes door, I should have driven off. I finished up blocked into a cul-de-sac, locked in the cab with a proper nutter making death threats and hammering on the window. The bloke drove off just before the Police arrived. Turns out he's a proper nut job and they know him, I think the only reason things didn't get proper nasty were when I was outside the truck were I wouldn't back down and I was bigger than he was. It has left me a bit shaken though.

That’s horrible to read, Pirahna. Brush it off to rare as fuck I reckon and reassure yourself that most people aren’t that unhinged
