I can sympathise with the OP... it seems as though "manners" have gone out of the window in recent times. And basically, that's what it boils down to... I use your knowledge/experience/skill to help me out of a jam, but then you can ****** off because you've suited my purpose. I'd hope that...

Met a new woman in the pub last night. Very nice and friendly, but into this new diversity stuff. I explained that I didn't understand anything about it, so she tried to help me out, claiming that she now identified as a bin.... I don't know whether to take her out on Tuesday or Wednesday....

Stuart, Stuart, Stuart..... Put those lollipop sticks back in the drawer, matey.... 🍭 😁

Oh dear, Stu... Have you been looking at your lollipop stick collection again? :D

Yep, nothing found thankfully. Must've shook itself, thought "what a stupid place to put a window", and offski. Not always the case, as you say. Found a ringed nuthatch last year, and managed to find out some details - poor thing was only a mile from where it was logged. Most of our windows have...

...this sliding door into the conservatory. Oh yes, I have. Warm water first, with a brand new microfibre cloth, followed by some Elbow Grease Glass Cleaner. Y'know, the "only cleaner you'll ever need..." Sprayed on, and wiped off with yet another brand new cloth. "Buffed" with paper towel...

Had to laugh at this one! When our lad was small, he used to like being dressed in dungarees... Y'know, like those that featured in "Little House on the Prairie", with the cross-over straps at the back. When he was annoying and getting under your feet, we used to pick him up and hang him off a...

You enjoy what?! :unsure:

Indeed. Bloody infuriating. On the face of it, a perfectly usable piece of kit rendered to the scrap bin because of (1) MS stopping support for whichever Windows version it was, and "forcing" you into another updated and "better" version, and (2) Epson being unable/unwilling/both to update a...

I can't remember whether this was changing from Win7 to 8, or 8 to 10, but I discovered that my flatbed Epson scanner would no longer work. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it : small footprint, little bigger than an A4 sheet, was recognised by the two different graphic design prog's I...

Fret slots, yes. I know about Proxxon - I've one of their OFV router bases, but have to say that I'm not too impressed, quality-wise. Sounds like their older stuff was/is good, but perhaps the newer products aren't quite as well made....?

Hmmmm....thanks for that, M_Chavez. I've a lot of gear - including a good quality ally fret ruler/template - but don't really want to use a bog-standard mitre block, even with the correctly-kerfed hand saw! I've seen all sorts of "solutions" to blade wander, including more than one using...

This chap uses a Harbor Freight Mighty-Mite saw with a specialised 4" blade, as shown in his video. (Here, if you want - ) There are various alternative jobs available on a certain auction site, but wondered if any of the contributors on here could recommend a particular brand/model? The...

Got to sympathise with RogerS. A few years ago my wife needed radiotherapy for lymphoma, and came across a similar problem. The "general" staff at the NHS specialist hospital were excellent - briliiant, in fact - but the expert consultant was only available one half-day a week. It's OK to hear...

Unfortunate positioning of a speech bubble....

There was a whole "series" of these type of jokes at the time....another was a play on "pierce 'ere" and the famous Mum Rollette antiperspirant one, "take cap off and push up bottom...."

When Henry - a.k.a. Harry - got involved with American actress Migraine and presented her with a ring, it finally proved that you can be engaged and vacant at the same time....

Really? Every time I get a headache, I take nothing. Why? Because nothing acts faster than Anadin...

Listening to Radio 4 earlier today, it was stated that the Horizon system is still being used in post offices across the country - how nervous would you be, pressing that button?! - and is still prone to giving the "odd result".

Yes, as someone has already pointed out, deciding to turn up yesterday wearing a black shirt wasn't perhaps the best idea! Or, perhaps,"defiance"? He's still a Post Office employee, apparently.
