Taking 2 days to do a one day job

[Mike Johnson]

Whippersnapper, ? I bought a retirement home in France some years ago, still have a place in the UK, but in France the draconian rules do not apply a home owner is at liberty to play with the electrics on the other side of the incoming if they wish, the only time this would be checked is on a sale when a electrical diagnostic is carried out.

Seems like we need an 'old farts' section to the forum.

It'd soon be the second most used......everybody going there for a bit of good advice or a
bleedin' P take........many, both.

its getting that way for me has well putting things down on the floor mostly screwdrivers in front of me next thing they are at the back of me ,either I'm losing my mind or the bloody screw driver have legs .

My favourite trick is to go to get another tool, put down the one I'd had in my hand, go back with the new one, then start where's-the-effing about the one I'd had before....

And not tool related, but a few months ago I was heading for the contemplation room with a cup of tea, and spent a good few minutes walking about looking for the newspaper that was tucked under my arm. ?

Since the old ticker has gone a bit haywire I am definitely slower.

Beta blockers?

As a result of which I am converting my garage to a workshop and making musical instruments like harp and guitar.

Enjoy:

Sod's lawsays that you give up looking for that lost screwdriver, then 2 hours later you find it when you are looking for your lost sidecutters.

Pencils!!! I use the pencil, I then do something else for perhaps 30 seconds. I go to get the pencil again..... and it's gone!!! I don't understand how this impossibility happens every single bloody day!

Have you looked behind your ear?

Now that used to be great...'till the eyes began to fail and I started wearing the cheap readers about 20 years back.

Being follicly challenged since eighteen I have never been able to put a pencil behind my ear, so its the one place I know its not.

The problem with Steve Vai isn't that he's not a good guitarist - it's that he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

Gets me with the mobile, sometimes. Why does it switch to silent in my pocket.
Then when I can't find it in the house....phone it from the land line....but the ringer's on silent...have I left it on a job or what? Ggrr!
Second, though. I reckon someone's got a stall on the market for used pencils!
