DeWalt, maybe :shrug:

Sound like he used the wrong type of drill bit.

In any case, the silly fúcker needs sectioning.

I fitted a bunch of new brass door handles this weekend using my drill.

Have you any idea how much decent door handles cost, f? Out-fvcking-rageous, they are. They're only a wee bit of metal, ffs.

Odd, because to be effective, you'd think it would have had to be cordless. You wouldn't get the sort of power from a cordless drill to do a lot of damage to a skull, I'd have thought.

I know that's what they're called, but I refuse to use such a silly term.

I got mine via a builder's merchant, so I only paid trade, but even then they were an exorbitant price.

Mind you, the alternative is ugly door handles. And no-one wants that.

I actually get quite excited when I get trade catalogues through the post.

I got really carried away and bought a petrol garden strimmer over the weekend. Time to get serious with my garden. Let battle commence.

I was given one a few years ago when I worked in that industry. A really good Ryobi job with push-button start. I no longer have it, sadly, since it resides at the ex's house. I'm actually going to have to shell out for a new one, aren't I? :-(

Do you have a secret key? sneak in an retrieve it.

I actually do have a key for emergencies, but sneaking in and nicking stuff would have the potential to cause disharmony between me and my ex, which is really not a good plan. Besides, I declared a moratorium on reclaiming my stuff some time ago on the grounds that it would become a source of irritation and was unfair on my ex. I left, so I figured that, in doing so, I forfeited the right to go around asking for my stuff back.

I got a new Bosch one recently. Only used it twice. Once to assemble a bed and the other time i drilled a hole so i could secure a play kitchen to the wall. Waste of money :-|

Are they billing for their time or the conveyancy job?

I don't own a drill.

If a household task involves drilling a hole into a wall I employ a man.

What? Even if it is a simple task of putting up a shelf / TV mounting bracket etc ?

Well yes if the need was there for either a shelf or a mounting bracket.

Ftr my television sits on a piece of furniture, not half way up a wall.

I hung a picture on Sunday evening if that is okay with you Mr Nick Fúcking Knowles.

I paid a set fee. the contracts are ready and signed on my side but there is a mysterious small detail they are waiting on.
they said it would be sorted by last Friday.

Set fee clients are always the lowest priority.

I mean, how hard can it be for some para-legal to copy a fourth generation photocopy for a search, fill in a contract template, make a thin bundle and then sweep if from their desk ? Should be done in fúcking minutes.

:nod: That's why I am hassling them on a daily basis so they get sick of me. I need them keys asap. as I am going through the dreadful process of people coming to visit my current place to be future tenants. I want to get out sharpish.

Did the decking at the weekend and it looks tremendous :-) Although digging out 15x 1ft holes for the footings in 24c heat was bloody stupid.
