    Something you own that you have never used

    I have a tool to drive drywall screws. Technically I have used it but only to make sure it works. The only drywall job I've got to in the house needed to be done faster than I could do it, so I paid someone else to do it. I think I've got a heat gun based paint stripper that has yet to be used...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    More electrical work today. A run of sockets in the guest bedroom is now replaced and wired to the dedicated circuit for that room. It was slow going because my wall studs aren't very thick so as far as possible I'm drilling holes through them slightly below the floor level and as close to the...

    The biggest scar on your body

    I have two about the same size, a little under an inch long. One was when I stuck a wallpaper scraper into my wrist, the other was when I cut my the back of my finger with a craft knife in my teenage years. The scar on the back of my finger was curved, hence it's longer than might be expected...

    What is your driving style?

    Mostly steady. People say I'm a fast driver although that's more because I carry speed rather than constantly slowing and speeding. On a long distance drive I'll balance the desire to get there with the desire to increase fuel economy and not get a speeding ticket. On roads I know well I may...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I decided to do a piece of extra work that will hopefully make future work a little easier. So that meant moving a dresser so I could pull another piece of baseboard off the wall, pull down some of the lath and plaster wall behind it, and get at the electrical back box for the nasty old socket...

    A payphone

    I remember quite a lot of years ago needing to make a call but background noise was a bit intense so I ducked into a payphone cubicle to get at least some piece and quiet. It seemed a bit weird standing in a payphone cubicle using my cellphone but it was one of those "do what you need to do"...

    A fetus

    I agree that the unborn is a human, I think much of the discussion about abortion is about whether it is a living human in its own right. If the fetus cannot be considered a living human then abortion logically cannot be considered the killing of a human, any more than shooting a man who is...

    A fetus

    Defining purely by DNA isn't really helpful though. Once we have died our DNA is still the same, pending bodily decay. It doesn't mean we are still alive.

    Are you an audiophile?

    Not really an audiophile these days, although I used to be a lot more interested in that sort of thing. Where turntables are concerned you can spend insane amounts of money if you want to. You've got the turntable, the arm, the needle, any and all of those can cost as much as you want to spend...

    Made your health so much better

    Two key things. The first was when I massively cut down on the sugary soda. The endless free refills offered in the US means you lose any track of just how much of the stuff you're drinking and the sugar content is terrifying. I switched to iced tea and the difference was remarkable. Then I...

    Monkeypox the next thing to fear?

    Meh. That just about sums up my thoughts on just about anything we're told to be afraid of these days. As I said to one of our neighbors in the early days of the coronavirus, it's not like any of us are getting out of this alive. The death rate has been pretty consistent since the dawn of time...

    Best money saving tip

    I don't think very many people say you shouldn't buy things just because you want them. But if you've got a utility bill and your rent due you need to pay those before you buy a ticket to the concert you really want to see.

    Hand sanitiser

    Latex gloves only work within their own limitations, and so many people lack basic understanding of what protection they offer. It's all well and good to use gloves but if you touch something the outside of your gloves is now contaminated, so if you touch your face you gained nothing by wearing...

    "America" is now offensive to N and S America

    "America" is now offensive to N and S America

    Of course calling someone who hails from South Africa an "African" would also be entirely correct. It would be akin to calling someone "British" regardless of whether they came from England, Scotland or Wales. You might as well fuss over whether someone from Texas can only be called a Texan -...

    Best money saving tip

    Don't buy things you don't need. Replace things less frequently. If you keep things until they need to be replaced rather than when "it's getting a bit old" the chances are you'll save money in the long run. Especially where appliances are concerned, if you can keep an old one running from when...
