Not for the first time, Stuart, but..... Oh! Come on!

Thanks, chaps! Some interesting - and differing views! - here! Which way to go? Not sure....but thanks anyway!

Had to smile at this one! I once had "a fight" with one of those plastic, cling-film-like decorating/dust sheets, bought from a pound store somewhere. For a quid, it was a bargain - God knows what size it was, but way too big for the object I wanted to cover. I unwrapped it fully, started to...

Crikey! I knew it was chilly, but....!

Some interesting reviews! 4.5* out of 5*.... Judging from earlier comments on here, who writes them? Enid Blyton?!

Talking of true tales, an old workmate of mine travelled right around the Far East, and unusually (for the time) also included Vietnam. He assured us the following was true... He'd taken a bus trip up country to visit some site or other, and found himself seated next to one of the most...

Nervous because it was my first time in a recording studio, I kept dropping my guitar pick. The vocalist gave me some advice.... "You need some gorilla snot on your thumb...." And yes, you're ahead of me!

All this electrical stuff has always been beyond me, but thank you anyway Jameshow! What caught my eye was the claim that the PTC bit meant " PTC heaters draw full power initially to quickly heat up and reach the optimum temperature. As the heat increases, the power consumption simultaneously...

Thought I'd finally solved my leaky-roof shed last year by replacing the wood + umpteen layers of "guaranteed 10 year" black stuff with corrugated Onduline. Nailed to a new frame, 3 panels, overlapped as per the instructions. I even noted the prevailing wind direction so the "open edge" was...

That's funny. I've been referring to my wife as "my little midget gem" - she's 5 foot and half an inch - for years, but she's never complained....

Afternoon, chaps....hope you are all well. Many thanks for your advice and suggestions. I should've mentioned that I've already bought this foil stuff, but have held back since reading some of the above! Just to complete the picture, the attic is unheated. One of the bedrooms beneath is famously...

"Help to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in summer with this SuperFOIL Insulation Wrap. Reduce your energy costs and protect your home from moisture, wind and dust. Perfect for lofts, sheds, walls and more ...." is what's claimed. In truth, the only current use for the attic is to...

Some advice please, boys and girls.... Victorian house. Large attic, inside of the roof slates in view. Floor mostly boarded, sandwiching x inches of the orange/pink skin-irritating roll stuff. Foil insulation on a roll, to be stapled to the woodwork. Fit horizontally? Start low, so above...

More from laddo.... (Apologies if already shown somewhere)

Does that mean a semicolon is a colostomy bag?

And looking at their skis and footwear, it appears that velcro has been around a lot longer than I thought.

Specsavers, mate! :LOL: (Almost Mattel, a toy maker of note from the days of my youth)

Being a Dronfield resident, I often troll around C's Thursday market, and have to say that it's rare I find anything of interest, old tool-wise. Now I know why! You've got them all! :giggle:

As a mere underling, I touch forelock and bow to your superior knowledge, squire! :giggle:

I suspect a lot of 'bad grammar' can be put down to laziness, but something which has always intrigued me is how certain people use 'was' and 'were' the wrong way round! "We was walking down the road" and "I were standing at the corner" being examples. Laziness can't explain it, as surely only...
