I still can't believe you can't change a tyre.


Put curtain rails up just yesterday - 20min job. Crap plaster to drill into here in int sh.itty but it's all behind the curtains anyway so no bother.

Teach a man how to drill, and he'll be surrounded with good friends forever...

i could take the piss about how long its taken you to join us but i shall instead warn you that you now have a disease known only to men, its symptoms included buying numerous tools which you will seldom if ever use but you will feel great because if you ever need to rebuild or repair a 747 you have the tools for the job.
