It always surprises me how many vans are parked up at B&Q, especially as soon as they open. Surely shopping from there cuts in to profit margins severely. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I'm very surprised that someone's mind has been changed. I assumed that the vast majority of people were voting with their guts. I think that the rhetoric from both sides is so aggressive and patronising that most people are cemented in their views after trying to talk to someone with the...

I have a 12" square piece, about an inch and a half thick, made from three pieces of sapele laminated together and intended as a stool seat. What I need to do is cut an angle all the way round the piece as seen in the below image. Is it as simple as just clamping the piece to a bit of mdf or...

Not to mention an arrogant assumption that the UK can survive and compete on its own.

There's about a week to go until the vote and the vast majority of the 'opinions' I hear from people here and there are based on absolutely nothing. One woman my girlfriend works with is voting out because "Well, something needs to change" although she has no idea what she is unhappy with in her...

I'm going for a pro edge as soon as I can justify spending the money (when one of these bloody job interviews pays off). My cheap bench grinder vibrates everything off my shelves. I've been forced to sharpen everything on the floor which is the only place that absorbs the shaking. The Keith...

I've just found out that a job opportunity I'm waiting to hear back from is funded, in part, using EU money. I suspect I'll probably be waiting until some point between the 23rd and the interview date to hear from anyone. I wont be surprised if they put it on hold for the forseeable future while...

I had one of the green Bosch ROS's. It served me pretty well for a few years but I also lent it to a family member who attempted to sand a 8' x 5' door in a 100+ year old house back to the bare wood. I think there was a century of recoats on that door and I imagine a lot of it was lead paint...

I think I was the one to mention Michael Gove. As I recall he likes to use phrases like "What is your function?" rather than just asking what someone does for a living. I met quite a few politicians and I didn't like many of them, but just as bad are the wannabe politicians a level or two below...

The tabletop you linked is laminated. Veneered is generally MDF with a paper thin layer of wood on top in order to get the appearance of solid wood (although I'd say most people can tell if it is veneered). Laminated is smaller bits of wood glued together to make a larger slab. Plywood...

I worked in prisons for years and have relatives that still do. I can't quote any exact statistics, but in my experience the proportion of criminals in for *** crimes who were immigrants or from minority groups mirrored the proportion of immigrants and minorities in the prison system as a...

I've a bag of citric acid somewhere left over from when I used to do darkroom printing. Does electrolysis work any better than an acid solution? I have a few tools that need doing.

For all the times I've seen people call it the Grauniad, and guffaw about people citing it, I've barely seen it used as a source. I think people get the point, by now, that no one on here is willing to take it seriously. It's like the Candy Man except you have to continuously say it's name to...

We are the 4th largest contributor, after Germany, France and Italy in that order. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Reminds me, I need to put in an order with Tuffsaws.

We'll wish we had a single state when the aliens arrive with their laser beams.

Reminds me, I have a RBS account that I keep forgetting to close. I used it as a student account because it had a nice overdraft, then emptied it when I was done and carried on with Nationwide. I might have carried on with them, however on one occasion I was due a refund from them due to a...

Not sure if I've mentioned this before but I give my energy readings every month. We've used, on average, 200-ish kwh each on gas and electric. I forgot to give my readings for whatever reason, a few times. The times I forgot, they 'estimated' my usage at about 3400 kw/h. I'm not sure what they...

Saw some interesting data recently. Unfortunately I can't remember where but it should be reasonably straightforward to google for anyone not on a phone. Apparently, the regeneration of Liverpool which eventually led to it being named city of culture, was mostly funded by the EU and the amount...

I'm aware that you probably don't agree with Izzard's beliefs but I don't think his style choices have much bearing on the debate. I think it was probably a mistake for them to include him, not because he doesn't have anything to say - he clearly does - but because a certain portion of the leave...
