are you guys aware of how much of a DDIY person I am ?


Recommended Posts

there is this hammock in my life that I had back home in LX, so I brought it over.

Couldn't think of a valid reason for us to be living separate lives.


Plus since we live in a sunny country I thought that was a smart thing to do.


I already have a hook on one side of the big window and only needed another hook on the other side of the same big window, stretch the whole thing across and hibernate the rest of the summer.

so you guys may think, yeah what's the big issue with that? make a hole, put the hookie stuff in, go on it and snooze.


yeah, got myself together and went to the plough, asked them for a hook thing capable of holding two persons and two cats but they had none of the size I wanted. bollocks. For the first time I asked them for something and they didn't have it.


No worries, I'll go a little bit further and ask the other ones by cafe nero (which had faked its application to the council btw), but they had none.

Next in line is B&Q, jumped on a bus got off at old kent road and checked if they had big hooks over there.

nothing, no one seems to sell big hooks in this country.


demoralized I got lazy

decided to go worldwide, online shopping!!!


found this website, bought a big hook, same size as the other one I had, the metal thing that goes around the screw and a drill bit thing to make the hole.


waited, and waited, waited, and last week the red, black and white piece of paper arrived on my postbox.


today I went to the post office to pick my package, but the mr postman showed me a really long package and told me to be careful as the drill was popping from a whole in the box.

I looked a bit confused with the size of the package and the apparent size of the drill. Mr postman even asked me what was I going to drill with that drill, I looked up and told him that I wasn't sure, but I had hope to find some water or some oil in the garden.


went home,wet, unwrapped the whole thing and realized that maybe the measurements I saw online were not in mm (millimeters) but probably in inches. so instead of buying a drill 20cms long I got something more looking like a meter long.


now how much of a don't do it yourself person am I?

or in other words:

dickhead

cromo da bola

atrofiado

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
