Following on, if at a tangent, from biff55's Rugby thread:
MDJ had to have live internet updates due to the female of the species.
I missed the last 60 mins. of the Wales v Ireland game due to the female of the species chuntering on the phone with her sister about an "upcoming" wedding (end of May fer feks sake!!).
So, I got given a vow of sworn silence so I could watch England grind Scotland into the mud again in peace. SWMBO went upstairs to assemble a pc desk for her (my step) daughter. Gave her some s/drivers, bosch battery drill, hammer, glue, etc. etc..
Come the interval I can hear the 'brrr' of a power driver spinning in a screw head. I pops upstairs. "Hmm" says I, " you've knacked the head and need to get it out. I'll get the cheapo house pliers. Brb". So I head down for some pliers. Meanwhile, when I'm downstairs, the light of my life found my ÂŁ30 CK combi cutters next to the boiler cupboard and tried to remove the screw with those. I can now strip a wider range of cables than CK intended when I bought them.
Now. After she's done my tea, and an accident should happen to come her way, would I be blameless, as in in-culpable homicide? Or should I take the roller skates off the stairs and replace the landing light bulb?
Whoever said "You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em" was right.
Though I think the first option would save a fella a fortune!!
