    I am not attacking the mod and I hope that s/he doesn't feel that I am, I'm sure that s/he's a very nice person but I don't see why I should keep quiet if I think s/he is wrong. But I would like to know how you can reconcile this: with this:

    Kellogg's Just Right Breakfast Cereal

    I once worked at batchelors foods on the production line for green beans. When the beans were delivered from the farms they came with an assortment of dead animals and parts of animals. My mate and I had to keep 4 conveyor belts filled with beans from a big hopper on a gantry above, and there...

    Tell him to arrange go-karting next year, he'll get far more guests than tea and cakes and an amateur DJ in a church hall!

    Amended forum rules

    Oooh I say, I never got savaged by a mod before. :) I never said I don't like what you do, I know that moderating is necessary to keep the forum running smoothly and not getting shut down. I would have absolutely no interest in doing this. I could never be bothered to read through...

    Amended forum rules

    Found it! What about this then you miserable moderator? Both of these are quotes from DIYnot Site Admin (your boss). Are you trying to sneak rules in by the back door, is this an attempted coup? Is Admin on holiday again, will you have your feet up on his desk when he comes back? (By...

    Amended forum rules

    I don't really agree with this. If someone asks how much to plaster a wall?" then they deserve the silly answers but if someone asks "how much to fit a letterbox in a hardwood door, my builder wants to charge me £500" then they probably get a useful answer. I'm sure we went through all this before.

    No it's not, try using a ball-pein hammer for pulling nails, or a 24 oz claw hammer for upholstering a chair!

    Food Allergies/Intolerances

    I always thought I didn't have any intolerance problems until I went out to a birthday party on Saturday and didn't leave til about 2 am. The next day I had a headache and didn't feel like getting out of bed and I had to drink gallons of water. I hope I'm not intolerant of birthdays!

    On the subject of rule 9 (don't ask costs/prices) wasn't there a decision a few months ago that it was acceptable for ask for prices, or did I dream it?

    Regional Sayings

    My Grandad from Derbyshire used to say "well knock me down with a one man beetle" which I used to think was totally stupid until one day I discovered that a beetle can be a heavy hammer for knocking down paving slabs. Now I only think it's a bit stupid.

    email scanning

    I've been using avast for a while and it seems fine. I also didn't like Norton and didn't want to pay for renewal. The only problem I have with Avast is that it always talks to you to tell you it has updated, Is there any way to switch the sound off?

    Missing fingers incident.

    Someone I used to work with was holding a piece of wood with his left hand while planing it with a power planer! He planed the side off his thumb. Someone else was using a jigsaw for the first time and managed to cut into his fingers underneath the board. Someone who works for me, a few weeks...
