Tremors got a big drill....

[old.samm]

I thought I best put this up quick. I am off work at the moment because I am poorly, Trem is off work because he usually is on a tuesday. So that means that I am unfortunately home to witness him drilling big holes into the front room walls to fix up extra speakers for the tv. He really shouldn't be allowed to use a drill. In January I bought some shelves for the bedroom. He tried to put them up for about and hour and in the end all I got was three holes in the wall, one of which had a screw in it that wouldn't budge and a broken drill bit. In the end when we had some decorating done last weekend I got the guy to fit the shelves up. So now he's starting againg with putting useless holes in the wall. Why do men presume if they've got a big drill then they are DIY kings. So if you don't hear from us in a while he's blown the electrics or something, please hheelllpppp meee.

OMG he has just told me he's got the yellow screwdriver stuck in the holes he's managed to make in our "hard walls". Why was he using a screwdriver to make a hole I hear you cry. Thats what I want to know too.

*goes to a dark corner to hide*

lol
big drill eh

jus leave us men 2 it. wen we wanna DIY there aint nout u can do bout it

 

[throdgrain]

I must admit I sympathise with me ol m8 Tremor. However I dont go with the "Im a bloke therefore Im a useful-round-the-house type".
I am bloody well NOT usefull round the house, and dead pleased about it !

 

[e_chrono]

ditto

im a lazy old sod, well i'm 17 after all

 

[old.samm]

I dont expect him to be automatically good at doing stuff around the house. I just wish he would realise that he's not! He got bored of drilling for a bit so went into the garden with the saw, oops there goes another shrub. heehee.

 

[e_chrono]

lol

my dad spent 4 years doing the lounge in the last house...and still diddn't finish it by the time we moved

 

[throdgrain]

Hehe no garden then samm I actually think my wife is more practical than me,but im not going to tell her that !

 

[old.samm]

Yeah I think thats its the same in most houses if for no other reason than the woman tends to have more patience, and reads necessary instructions before commencing with the task at hand. At least when ever we buy anything flatpacked he now just helps me to carry it into the house and then quietly exits the room until said furniture is built. Huw Huw Huw (in toolman tim taylor stylee)

 

[e_chrono]

ugh instructions

men never read them coz we know it all

its like *oeaurgh* readme's *shudder*
how often are they read...

 

[old.samm]

Okay he's back to drilling now, and he's just smashed the lamp. Will I have a house left by tonight, me thunks not.

 

[Moön]

Hey at least you know what not to buy him for xmas......

eh

 

[old.samm]

He has asked for a chainsaw though. Woe is me.


*Sobs over ruining of nice house*

 

[Moön]

Hey at least he's trying, you should be proud even if he does end up bringing your house to rubble

Is that pro-logic or 5.1? I have a tip for u tremor (I am a hifi audiophile), if the speaker brackets are a bit crappy, get some bluetack and put it between the wooden box of the speaker and the metal frame of the bracket. The sound quality will improve ever so slightly, and not as much noise will be transmitted through your walls/floors.

Just cos I'm in a big headed mood, here is my hifi:

Linn Basik turntable with AT-F5 cartridge
Arcam Delta 70.3 CD player
Naim NAC 425N preamplifier
Naim NAP 90 power amplifier
Rogers LS-2a speakers

All on Target stands (spiked)

hehe

I got too much moneh!

 

[S-Gray]

buy meh a super computer then..

Maybe you could get the writers of seti@home to enable others to perform your gfx calculations, so you could run in 1048576x589824 and not suffer laggy smoke grenades!

Did you check the wall for cable runs?

 

[Tom]

wow 5.1 eh? Thats my next thing for my dvd and w/s telly. I only have prologic at the mo. I really wanna hear that 5.1 sound on some of my fave films, Heat, and Leon (directors cut of course). Pity the Godfather films are only in stereo. DVD rules

 

[old.D0LLySh33p]

Samm, you sound very repressed.

Trems, just get the implants like I told you and everything will be fine.



DIY, makes me *cough* just thinking about it...
