Pity there aren't a few more like Dennis Skinner around to keep Tony on his toes. I heard Cameron having quite a good go at Tony in the commons. I read in todays paper that Cameron is going to force local constituency parties to field more women and representitives of ethnic minorities as...

I feel a bit sorry for bob and the others who don't enjoy christmas. I love it. My wife works hard at it and my kids really look forward to it. They have been decorating the tree today. I put up some lights on the outside of the house, they are for other people to look at! We have champers and...

That's a shame for you; the first time I found out my ex was bi was when she brought her best mate round to our flat one evening and (and i just deleted the last bit) but it was totally unforgettable. :)

can i just say that it was totally unpremeditated and also that it is a case of mistaken identity?

This is the best way that I have ever found to do this job. Even when you have done this loads of times you will always get a much more horizontal hole if someone is watching from the side.

I have a makita with pendulum action, although it's quite old now. I have found that with this and other jigsaws if you try to cut too tight a curve the end of the blade will wander outwards so that the cut edge is not at 90 degrees to the face. There's a name for this - I'm sure someone will...

Everyone has borrowed cheap money to have newer cars.

Pva takes longer to dry, is not usually waterproof, is a lot cheaper. Polyurethane (PU) adhesive is dry in about 10-15 minutes, I think it's generally waterproof and I use it for exterior joinery. It starts to cure on contact with the moisture in the wood (don't leave the top off the bottle...

Actually it can make quite a difference depending on the material. You should work left to right so the movement along the workpiece is opposite to the rotation of the cutter. It gives a better cut and it's easier to control the router.

No probs, but to look right you should also stop the moulding before the worktop meets a wall or kitchen unit etc.

107mm diamond core, hired one yesterday for £10 + vat, and drill for another £10 + vat. Started drilling yesterday afternoon and got through the block in about 10 mins and spent another 20 mins on the brick behind it. Gave up as I had to be back at work at 3pm so I gave it another 20 mins after...

Like them all, am I doomed?

I went on a jetski last week that got up to 72 km/h according to the speedo :D :D :twisted: I would just like to add that there were no boats or people in the vicinity.

We work with a lot of mdf and I looked into the health & safety implications recently. There is no significant risk from formaldehyde fumes when cutting, although as Taffy says you should use a good dust mask as any fine dust can be harmful. You do not need to use special mdf primer. Most...

The best hammer I have is a 16oz stanley steelmaster claw hammer. I have had this 15 years and used to use it loads for cladding sheds(including pulling bent nails out). It still gets used every day and is as good as ever. I also have an estwing 20oz claw hammer with the rubber handle. This...

That's useless, you won't get anything. You want to marry a bi female - I went out with one for ages but didn't find out for over a year.

B****y hell Adam, I can't remember when I last got away with going to the bar and coming away having spent less than a fiver, especially with the wife and kids in tow :( .

Is this after you've died?

I don't think you could easily weatherproof open grain like this, but before anything else you should get some clear preservative and brush it on liberally, as this will help to prevent any rot.

I went to see a car once, agreed to buy and went back the next day with £2000 in £50 notes fresh from the bank. The owner of the car didn't want to take them for fear of forgeries but I finally managed to persuade him to phone my bank to check that I had only just withdrawn them (this was in the...
