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
Screwdix? Is that an online sextoys emporium?

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

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! :lol: :lol: :lol:


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? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Answers have ranged from 'yes' to 'the gendarmes are on their way to escort you to the border' :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

You can reduce then freeze the wine in an ice cube tray and use later for cooking.

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

I think you will find that the face showing is/was the friction face.
