The "I'm Such a Fecking Div" Thread

[Cudzoziemiec]

I'm not doing well this week, attended minor injuries this lunchtime with a 1"/2,5cm/25mm (see gravel thread) gash along the top of my left index finger, requiring superglue and  butterfly closure.  Now with a dressing on and a mass of tubigrip to stop me bending it too much I'm realising how much the index finger is used.  Showering, typing, driving, etc. 

Outer dressing needs to stay on till friday, which may mean the use of lobster mitts for my ride as that's the only things that'll fit

Ooh, euro maths punctuation!

Not unless you're a counting parrot.

It is now a year since I stopped commuting by upwrong and switched to Brompton.  I am still walking away from my desk roughly once a fortnight fully kitted up and heading for the  basement.  The basement where the upwrong lived, which was under the square outside our building not under the building itself, was demolished 9 months ago.  The Brompton naturally lives under my desk.

Drilled a side-dot hole into the edge of a painstakingly thicknessed, marked-up and slotted fretboard - a morning's work - and came up through the surface.

Knowing my penchant for buggering stuff up I was doing the fretboard before gluing it onto the neck so that's all that's lost, and I can use it on a guitar for myself, but this one has to be ready for someone's birthday next week. :shit:  At least I wasn't using ebony.

[Mr Larrington]

I just opened a sachet of sugar to put in my tea...

...and poured it into the bin instead of the mug

[T42]

Best place for it.

[Mr Larrington]

Put my glasses down on the bed.  Put my elbow down on the glasses.  Glasses now only have one arm.

Bah!

[Mrs Pingu]

Oops. That's why the best place for them is your face...

[T42]

I trust the elbow is still in good repair.

[Mr Larrington]

Arm at snappage point approximately 2 mm in diameter, so no damage to elbow.  But frames made of Ti, which is not supposed to break.

[ElyDave]

I've broken Ti frames before, fatigue failure on the bridge.

I had a helicopter wreck a stainless steel pair for me

There's posh for you - I have to break my own.

I sold an iPad recently. It'd been sat in a drawer for so long (it was a backup "just in case" device) I'd forgotten I'd ever set it up. So I just had to do a remote erase    .  Thanks goodness for modern technology

Making coffee and loading the washingmangler are jobs which should be done separately. Having got the new-fangled front-loading whirling-television-of-textile-death loaded I caught myself pouring the contents of a just-boiled kettle onto the generous scoop of Fairy non-Bio in my coffee mug.

I need a Responsible Adult.

"Want a coffee, Bert? Guy's just put the kettle on."

So, are the clothes being washed in nescafe?

[Paul]

It's gone a bit quiet. Everything okay Guy?

Or is everything brown?

[Guy]

Thankfully, I hadn't got as far as opening the coffee jar. 

[chrisbainbridge]

I did once tak an almost full jar of instant coffee granules and just fill it with boiling water making an incredibly strong jar of coffee!

[ian]

I once put grapefruit juice in my coffee. OK, more than once. The result actually tastes worse than it sounds.
