Alrite, I am a bad man. I use my angle grinder without safety equipment, save a dust mask. The cuts to the hands don't bother me so there's no problem there but I'm getting sick of flying shrapnel hitting me in the eye. It's not a macho thing, I've bought three different sets of goggles and two...

I'm not sure we should use the French as a benchmark for anything except rail or energy policy, they recently made a law against "psychological violence" in marriages which means you can be jailed for insulting your wife, I mean, err, partner. Many couples I know fight like cat and dog and...

Alrite, this post reminds me of two things. First one is, it's not sensible to talk politics because you will always upset someone. Second one is I must be a complete idiot since I just can't resist... Well, I gotta be honest here. The Islam threat is big-time overplayed. How many radical...

Maybe he just feels insulted the nanny state demeaned him to have to ask to do work on his own palace. I would if I was he. Of course if you know what you are doing they will never know so their opinion doesn't have relevance in this topic anyway. Do you really care about the opinion of a...

lol@these comments. i learned nothing but i feel much better :)

I hear some cowboys do it with the old colored wires that a friend bought for them on eBay (they sell for the same price as the new colors). So, if they were asked, well it was done pre part P wasn't it. Doubt any of those cowboys had your qualifications though. From what I hear, exactly none of...

OK. it's not happened yet. I thought about posting it in the sparcs club but it's something the plumber is more likely to know, right? I really like plumbing, which is just as well cause I can't afford one. I've done a fair bit of my own work without a single leak, touch wood, and even...
