It's just one of life's great mysteries!

I'm hopeless at DIY. I can put a curtain rail or a shelf up but I cant guarantee it will stay there. Plus I'm bound to get really angry doing it.
Still, I'm sure there's men about who are very handy so no need to stereotype hey girls? :grin:

There is something primevil and satisfying about using a hammer, it's the same with fire :wink:

Aha, a closet arsonist......I always did think you sounded a bit dodgy, Saigon.
As for stereotyping.....who, us? I don't mind at all my husband doing the dinner, I'd just like the odd book shelf as well!

Because when we're trying to do some DiY there's usually a woman stood behind us making daft unhelpful comments and it's the best way to shut them up quickly.

Right Mr Ripper?? :wink:

Is that vice attached to a work bench where you clamp bits of wood and hit them with a hammer?
