Yes, but do you have their app on your phone? That installed on your smartphone is the pinnacle of manliness, imo

I was in Wickes the other day wearing a pair of dirty workman's trousers I use when I'm on my allotment. The chap behind the counter called me 'mate' rather than 'sir'. I grunted indistinctly in return.

I had successfully passed as a working class person. :cloud9:

Indeed. Though if you're not in work you're not working class anymore. Lumpen protetariate innit? Ok on a short term basis but no good long term.

Any man that does DIY needs to take a good hard look at himself.

DIY is sh*t and no sane man should enjoy it. Not to mention the trade you are denying to people who have dedicated themselves to these professions. Basically, if you do DIY you are a communist.

Can countdown begin on your posts about your aching knees, swollen prostate, nightly toilet stops and frequent visits to your GP?

:-( Don't make me agree with you, WES.

I wouldn't have put it quite so strongly, though.

Well it depends on the size of the project, innit

I'd happily put a shelf up myself, but say, the guttering needs sorting out (this rain has shown it up for how good it is), this will require an oik and a ladder to relieve me of a fair few ££££££££££££s

:hehe: He is on form today - I'd agree with his point here too. Mainly because, any attempt I have made to DIY has ended in under disaster - ever the most basic thing

I work with someone who recently took two weeks holiday during which he removed and then replaced his entire kitchen. Cupboards, plumbing, wiring, painting, the lot.

Sick, deviant f*cker of the highest order and no mistake.
