    HELP, carpet fitter damage?

    We've recently had some carpet supplied and fitted by Carpetright. Living room, hallway and stairs/landing. Not made a bad job of it if I'm honest. Recently looked to get our bedroom done, and was put off by Carpetrights pricing structure. Despite their new advertising telling us that the...

    Putting up blinds and hitting lintel

    I'm having a similar problem myself at the moment. Putting some blinds up in the kitchen, first window went without a hitch because it was a full width blind and I was side mounting the brackets. Second window I am having to top mount the brackets as the blind isn't quite full width (tiles come...

    I Didn't Know That!

    I didn't realise that there was a wrong way to put a pint of milk back in the fridge until I married the missus....... :(:(:(

    Looking for a decent electric drill

    I'm not a big DIY'er and bought into the Ryobi cordless range a few years ago and have been more than happy with the tools that I have. A "proper" tradesman would turn his nose up at them, but I'm not using them to earn a living. I've never had a problem with any of them...;););) I'd highly...

    Do you believe that extra terrestrial life exists?

    When you take into account that there are seventy billion, trillion stars out there, (and that's only in the galaxies that we can actually observe), I personally think that is both naive, and arrogant, to even think that we are the only life form that exists anywhere. Something else is out...

    How did you feel in the days after you took the Astra Zeneca vaccination?

    My temperature increased slightly, not enough to set the alarm off on our thermometer, but slightly higher than usual for a day or so.

    How did you feel in the days after you took the Astra Zeneca vaccination?

    Not really a headache, more of a feeling I had a bad cold. Other than the painful arm for a few days I've had no other symptoms.

    How did you feel in the days after you took the Astra Zeneca vaccination?

    Felt a bit ropey the following day, not too bad and a couple of Ibuprofen together with a kip on the sofa sorted me out. Been generally okay since then, but got an odd feeling in my left arm, (which was the injected one), for a few days, really hurt when I tried twisting it around. I was doing...

    Are you a dog person or are you a cat person? What defines being a cat person or dog person?

    Ours is a spring chicken in comparison to that one! She's about 18 now, so getting on a bit. We have three. This one, a ginger Tom who's about 16 and a tabby who's about 4.

    Are you a dog person or are you a cat person? What defines being a cat person or dog person?

    I am a dog person, although we don't have one. My wife is a cat person (she prefers their independent nature) and we have three. They are okay, one of ours is like a dog anyway, and will do anything for attention. One of them is knocking on a bit now, and won't use the catflap, you have to open...

    I've had a set of these for at least 10 years and they are still as good (and effective) as the day I bought them. Great screwdrivers.

    Terrible cutting in!!......

    Went with the 6mm quadrant in the end. I had a go with caulk, but it wasn't as neat as I wanted. Don't think it looks too bad at all, and hardly noticeable.

    Are All Electric Vans This Bad?

    I'm a car salesman and have been selling electric vans (both Nissan and Peugeot) for the last few years. I've got to be honest, the ones I've tried have had terrible range compared to electric cars.

    Help required.....

    No, we don't have economy 7 or storage heaters mate. I'm going to get a local sparks in to have a look just to be on the safe side. Might cost me a few bob but a new socket in the hallway would be worth it, and I want to be sure it's done correctly. Thanks for your response though, it's much...
