In that case, I sneer at your screwdriver  :-P


In that case, I sneer at your implicit admission that your arm is so enfeebled that you are unable to best an electric screwdriver (running on flattened battery as mentioned), using only the cranking action of your arm :-P


Ratchet Action ??

Angled grip ?? Pah!!!

Real men use straight handled ratchetless screwdriivers with a wrong sized posidrive head. :-P

I've never been to IKEA myself. Might just go someday to see what all the fuss is about.

A new Danish furniture shop called ILVA has opened in Manchester. Very posh. I bet it's expensive. I am sure the wife will want to visit soon. I hate shopping. :cry:

Arty Farty Bar Stools .. Sounds digusting indeed  :-x

:-P

Yes, they are bloomin' expensive too. I'm sure the £78  Koko bar stool is exactly the same as one I bought from another shop for £25.  It was just the right height for my workshop bench.

I think I have a good enough excuse to avoid the place now.   Thanks! :-D




[EDIT]

Oh!,  and to remain on topic.. Yes the stool was flat packed, beleive it or not.

Don't judge me too harshly, mate. It was cheap and I needed in a hurry...


How many levels of meaning can be read into that?  :lol:

Aye! Depending on the type of job it can be quite handy I guess. Would blow the competition away when it comes to these types of things. :laugh:

Why is it then that the cops use the phrase: "Lets nail those {bleep}s !!" in films then?

I wonder where the phrase "Lets nail them" originated. Is it an American term?
