notice how lol is so over subscribed that we have to embellish it with another "L" to stand for "literal"
Where will it all end?

I don't even know what 'lol' actually stands for. I know it means you are laughing, but I lose at the internet.

Laugh Out Loud-or Laughing Out Loud
HTH

EDIT: Sadly, I do know most of those terms

LMAO is my favourite

probably because for ages I read it as something to do with 'mayo'

No. That is the way it should be done. But I bought this thing for my dad last year and couldn't resist borrowing it back - makes the job 5 times quicker and less risk of ducking your back (thanks for the correction there iPhone).

Power tools are ace. Although, I get scared sometimes when I see how they get used....Taking the guard off or putting it down when they haven't fully stopped, some people don't value their body parts enough!

The most recent accident I witnessed was a bloke using a wall chaser (looks like an angle grinder but with 2 rotating masonry blades) on a step ladder, he went to step off the ladder when the blades were still spinning and stood on the trailing lead, which pulled the chaser out of his hand and on to his thigh....he had 2 lovely, deep, parallel cuts in his leg that required 15 stitches. Luckily for him, the blades only protrude 30mm and it was spinning at less than half speed....

Another building site accident I saw was not power tool related but was more gruesome, a man fell through a gap in the scaffolding and caught his arm on one of the connections pieces. He came in to the office and said "I think I need to go to the hospital" "Why, what have you done?" asked the site manager, he let go of his bleeding arm, which was obviously broken and his tricep flapped down, you could see bone and muscle and there was loads of blood. I nearly threw up.

Can you explain why they chose to put it in the box with the stupid extra cut out bit rather than just a normal box shaped box?

So the allen key fits in.

Did you build yours yourself, Dudley? I assembled mine all by myself with no help at all

Even though it says you need two people

Go me!

It weighs a plimping tonne, though.

I did indeed, although getting the top balanced on the leg was.... interesting.

What does everyone think of Tommy Walsh?

Nobody's ever asked that question of me before, and I'm somewhat at a loss to what to say. After giving it an hour's thought I've come to a "shoulders shrug" conclusion.

He opened the Wickes in Bicester. TRUFAX.

I see him about once a month walking his dog on Hackney marshes. But I don't talk to him as he has a macho status dog and seems a bit concerned that it will get shown up for the whimpering pussy most of these dogs turn out to be.

please tell him a belming goose girl would like his autograph very,very much.

What on earth is a belming goose girl when it's at home?

No, no, no. Swans are scary. Geese are just funny.
