    House Husbands

    If Mrs H ever read that She'd nail you up with a Paslode one-handed, an hour and a half? For all that? "Go back and do it again properly sunshine" that's what She'd say. Top show and nowt else. Quit while you're ahead, that's my advice. :lol:

    Anyone put up their Christmas tree yet?

    Nay nonny no, not here. Mrs H won't allow that kind of frivolity until the time is almost upon us. I reckon it'll be the friday before Christmas this year - 21st December. I'd like to have the house decorated now, but although She's only 7 stone and I'm more than twice Her body weight, She...

    Should I remove the "I" beam from my dining table

    New Toy!

    Let us know how long it takes for you to throw your shoulder out at baseball. :lol: :wink: Love the bowling myself, but Mrs Holybloke is house champion :cry: she's a machine. The kids have a number of 3rd party games they play for hours - but I just love the good old Wii Sports. Enjoy!

    Technology apace.

    Makes me laugh when people presume that the law of conservation of energy is relevant only because we haven't figured out something better! :lol: I get near to side-splitting when they go on about discovering "something totally new" and then reveal themselves to be a "Trekkie" :lol: :lol...

    Is it all going a bit too far???

    Employees are quite capable of being dangerous without being forced, what some (not all) H&S legislation does is offer instant recourse to legal action even when the "victim" is obviously depriving a village of a perfectly good idiot. "But you didn't tell me NOT to stand in a puddle of water...

    Minerelle Worktops

    :lol: :lol: Never even noticed :oops: Yeah, they are a bit harsh - one router bit per joint instead of two, but I didn't find it too much different on the jigsaw blades. Comparable to a solid wood worktop really. 3 years :lol: What a prat! Thanks for pointing that out.

    Is it all going a bit too far???

    Had to fill out some paperwork regarding safe working method statements recently, when they asked for my standard working height, I put in 6foot 2inch - they were not amused. :oops: I agree a lot of what H&S are up to is useful to remind us of how dangerous our "industry" (ie construction...
