Chelsea are also understood to be considering a switch to Twickenham Remind me how much are wet spam paying per season? | |

Chelski moving on 12:57 - May 13 by Konk | You need to pick your battles. I’m not an official doctor in the sense that I haven’t studied medicine, but I’ve picked-up quite a lot over the years watching Holby City, ER etc. To be clear, mine weren’t made shelves that you simply fix to the wall, we screwed batons into the wall, glued struts(?) to the batons, screwed the board to the batons using my new power drill, glued strips of board for the fascia, filled the screw recesses, filled them, sanded them down and then painted the bas tards. And I did most of it in my pants cos it was boiling hot that week. |
Wait. You're not a doctor? Then why am I lying on my side, knees bent with no pants on? | | | |

We used plenty of glue, but to be honest, I feel happy knowing there are screws holding the whole thing together. And buying a power drill made me feel like a grown-up. My first power tool. | |

Chelski moving on 10:30 - May 13 by Konk | No, this fridge is fu cking brilliant. It keeps veg fresh far longer than you have any right to expect and it chills beers and white wine like something from a dream. I wouldn’t die for this fridge, but I’d certainly fight anyone who was stupid enough to slag it off when I’d had a few drinks. And I’m not the fighting type. It’s become more of a friend than a fridge. I fu cking love it. |
Any lawyers on here? Is it legally possible to bequeath one's belongings to household appliances? Oh, and while I'm here, do sheep know they are bored? Or are they just philosophical? RFA | |

I can only imagine the reaction of the kids when they wake up in the middle of the night and are faced with their Star Wars annuals floating half way up the wall. I might give Anneke a call to discuss it though. |

Did you know, you can mix Unibond glue with cement grout and it makes it waterproof. I used this little trick when I had some plaster come away from a damp wall, btw the building was very old, anyway, problem solved, no more little damp patches. | | | |

I've watched 4,00 hours of Time Team and I can now dig with the best of them. I helped out at lunchtimes on the bypass near my house last year and I was very useful with my trowel. Sped things up no end, the lads said. [Post edited 13 May 2016 14:55]

There's no doubting it's a clever product, but how many fu ck-off, coffee table Chuck Close books can it take? My shelves are currently carrying about eight tonne of outsized art books that I've never looked at, Simon Morgan's autobiography, 3,000 cook books and a shi t load of guide books, many of which concern countries I never ended up visiting. I think your shelves would struggle to compete. My shelves definitely win...I may produce pictures. | |

In about 2005, one of my best mates had a one-night stand with a young Time-teamer, and I made myself laugh a lot by saying, "Was it him?", every time the older fella with the grey felt hat appeared on screen. Sharing a flat with me was non-stop megalolz back then. | |

Going back to my G-Plan unit if I may - I wasn't quite telling the truth as it, or rather, they, belong to my mum, and she literally has four of them side by side. My dad cleverly knocked out the dividing wall in our house and, lo and behold, it gave the impression of a room twice the size. I don't want to get in an argument with you about who is the best - we would only end up the internet equivalent of those two strange blokes having a dance off in the car park in that price comparison advert on the television (plenty of room on our shelves for the tv). You also may have noticed the sliding doors at the bottom of the unit(s). Full up with records of every size and speed. A true multi-unit. | |

Four? Fair play. Didn't see that one coming. You've blown me out of the water with that one. Do your folks have problems with finger prints on the glass doors? We belatedly got a hi-fi unit, one with wheels, and my Dad used to move it from room to room depending on what we were doing/who was visiting; if the wheels were facing the wrong way, it was a bast ard to get it through the deep pile carpet from one room to the next, but you had a bit of respite in the hallway because my Mum to this very day, has some heavy duty plastic sheet taped down from the front door to the kitchen to stop people treading mud into her carpet. Looks very elegant. My Dad used to get the raging hump whenever any off us got finger prints on the glass door. | |

Glass doors - turn it in. Solid wood all round - no veneer in here; but I have to admit you sound like you have very practicable soloutions to listening to music within your family - it sounds a bit like that multi-room thing you can get these days. | |

1. Well i only have 2 books, both of them being 'Stan the Man'. It shows them off well and somehow does justice to his otherworldly skills. 2. What's the skinny on home bars these days? They had a bit of an ironic comeback in the late 90s, but having lived the past 10 years in Switzerland I no longer have any idea what's in, out or the next big thing. Anyway, i quite fancy one. | |

Home bar ?- no people make the inside of a garden shed look like the queen Vic these days and get a geordie man off channel four to come round and make a documentary about it. My Dad had a much simpler version in the 1970s whereby he kept a crafty half bottle of johnny walker behind a jar of creosote. He could come home piss@d claim to do gardening and apparently magically get drunker. It was years before my mum twigged the whole shed / concealed alcohol thing. Odd as my dads brother - who was to married my mums sister pulled the identical trick for many years. It was harder to spot patterns of behaviour before the internet. He did once fall on a g plan coffee table and break it in half though . | | | |
