Well he was a professional tiler....LOL :-D

When the housing association replaced our bathroom I bought my own bathroom suite because their choice was far too slippery to be practical. Anyway, I also bought my own tiles which they were happy to hang for me. I had worked out how many boxes I needed to buy but the tiler said he had better work it out properly and sent me to buy the two more boxes that I took back for a refund after he had finished.

True - but those who try to confuse me wouldn't have watched 'How to make curtains' !!

I would say watch a you tube video there's always one to show you how to do anything and everything :-D :-D

I'm afraid, if anyone tries to confuse me with science, I challenge them to explain how to make a pair of curtains.
A simple job, you may think, just buy material, hem and put on curtain tape.

Chances are, they'll 'mess up' on the amount of fabric - not realising you need either one and a half or two times the width of the window. :-|

His knife is no defence against my torque wrench.

My OH brilliant with engines he has a garage business but show him a washing machine or a Microwave and OH BOY what a pickle he gets in :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-D :-|

I dare'nt hes a chef.... with knives

You try.

as an extreme, Sharron, you should explain that he should manually rotate the crank until the same piston, is at the same position every time he dips the oil because the crank webs displace the oil as it rotates....



:-D

He would buy it as well.

I can supply a new flongle sprocket for only £1000.00p. Cash only, used pound notes.

That's true.

Sharron your first mistake was assuming he was actually listening :-D

I always think that, if I know something then so does everybody else.

OH runs a very old and decrepit Renault Clio. It owes us nothing but he was telling me that it was using a lot of oil and he had to keep topping it up. He can't get it fixed until next week and the mechanic suggested the sender was duff.

I asked OH if he was dipping the oil before he topped it up. Did ET call home?

Like a fool, I started to explain why he should not put too much oil in and I heard words come from my mouth like crank and seal, clutch and so did he but it did occur to me that I might just as well be saying flongle sprocket and sniggle bracket!
