SWMBO tied him up with the lead on this morning, for a few mins while she did something. He quickly chewed through the lead and rejoined her. lol. So I got out the sewing machine to try it out. I'ts just a normal domestic electric sewing machine and it did a passable job until the needle...

I had a friend who took over a gun shop a number of years ago. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but he hadn't dreamed of being a gun trader. I called in one day to see how he was getting on. He said it was like jumping in to the deep end of the swimming pool if you'd never seen water...

For jobs I do on a regular basis, I have a spreadsheet with all materials, quantities and price entered When I get a new delivery, if the price has increased, all I have to do is amend the raw material price on the spreadsheet and retail price is sorted automatically. I use a spreadsheet for...

I thought it was about the highway code. :dunno:

I was round at my mates house the other evening, he retired recently and is spending a lot of time in his garden. He has most of the plan mapped out on paper, he started to say the name of the flower he was intending to put in the corner but couldn't remember it, after struggling for a few...
