I have white hair. I have a white beard. My skin is white. My snot is white. When I sneeze, a small cloud of dust rises off of me. Yes, we’ve finished sanding down the polyfilla’d walls and we’re ready to “size” them before papering (apparently, that’s putting a weak coat of paste over them […]

Ran through the rigging of a horizontal lower[1][2] followed by a raise[3] and practised it a few times as well as rigging up the back end of the system, something I’ve not had […]

Probably took Royal Mail a while to work out what to do with them…[1] So the upshot of this is that on Monday, my keys will arrive at the office by […]

What is it about a dealership that makes you bad? To get a set of replacement keys for the ones I lost, I contacted the dealership. They told me that they could sell me a new key along with a “Emergency Key Access” code (EKA code) which would disarm the alarm and immobiliser allowing me […]

Google of the Future… . I’ve lost my keys today. Car keys, house keys, the whole lot. I hope some responsible person will find them and hand them in. Until then, I’m going to go home, get in using a set of keys I left with a friend (can’t do that with car key unfortunately) […]
