I've come to chat with you again. Or should I not bother? mrH :oops:

Hello, fellow 'Notters! It's been a while since I've posted on this site, but I'm still alive and kicking, and have been keeping a sneaky eye on you all from time to time. :sneaky: Good to see my old stomping ground of the Decorating and Painting forum is still going strong, with new members...

Hi, all. I just wanted to say hello, and wish you all a Happy New Year - better late than never! It's been a while since I've posted, but I still scan the forums when I can. Hope to contribute a bit more this year than last, but I know you miserable buggers couldn't care less! Just kidding...

Hi all, Last week I closed my laptop, as usual, but when I opened it the next morning I had what I thought was the black screen of death. After a bit of fiddling and searching, I realised the screen was actually on but almost black. I searched through posts here and shone a bright light on the...

Hey all, I'm just posting a few images of some doors I've painted in my house over here. The water based/acrylics are pretty much used everywhere and, in my opinion, the one I've just used has been the best of a decent bunch. Yes, that's right, the best of a decent bunch! I don't do much hands...

I'm tempted to smuggle a few dozen of these back next week so I can make a few quid. It begs the question as to why it's so expensive over there when you can get a US gallon (3.79L) here for £15-18? :mad:

I'm heading back to the UK next week for a family wedding so wanted to share the fun of my booking ordeal with you - I'm kind like that. (Really, I'm sharing my story here so I can revert back to it if I need to remember the details if something goes awry. :D) Six weeks ago I booked the flights...

So after landing my new job as a Tesco meet and greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day. About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean-acting woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the...

This has been happening over the last few days: When I click on a link in a thread, it opens in a new tab. Nothing unusual there, but the original tab that DIYnot is on also goes to the link, so I then have two tabs showing the same page. When I close the new tab that the link opened up in, I...

We watched TV in bed last night, turned off with the remote and this morning it wouldn't come on and has no power. One quick question: WHAT HAPPENED???? Obviously there's lots to go wrong, and you'll probably want to know type, model, etc., but I can't get my head round why it's not working...

Hey, All, My sister has a Zanussi ZWF12070s washing machine that is working intermittently. It will run a full cycle one day, then not start a cycle for a day or two, and then run again. After a successful cycle, the power light flashes red where it would normally be solid green (according to...

After going to the market to pick up the chicken for supper, a woman headed back home to start preparing the meal for her husband. The traffic was light and she made good time. As she pulled up to her home, she noticed an unfamiliar car sitting in the driveway. Curious, she went into the house...

We are trying to sell our heated, vibrating, reclining couch and have put it up for sale on a local selling app. The issue is that, the rules of the app suggest that you should always meet and sell your goods in a public place. Obviously this is impossible when you have something that weighs a...

My stepdaughter works part time serving drinks in a casino (to pay her way through university), and has many regular customers. The other night she was going through a list of nicknames for those customers: 'Coke guy'...who tips $20 for a Coke...'James Bond'...who dresses in a tux...and then the...

Looking through a few Facebook posts, I came across this. They all sound feasible, but are they actually true? Does anyone have any other interesting 'origin' stories?

A woman driving along at speed passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait. The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, with that classic patronizing smirk & asked, 'What's your hurry?' She replied, 'I'm late for work.' 'Oh yeah,' said the cop...
