sbcmfc Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Every socket and light switch in my house has the screws set so that the notches are perfectly horizontal. Horizontal? If I was fitting or fixing one, I'd set them vertical, wouldn't go round actively fixing the screws though. though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreimack Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Every socket and light switch in my house has the screws set so that the notches are perfectly horizontal.That's called dressing the screws sir ( slotted screws should be vertical, but it's the thought that counts,) and it's a dying art amongst Joiners. Well done, you've made an old joiner very happy ???? Edited December 18, 2015 by andreimack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm terrible for that, it's got to the stage that my wife will text me to tell me to get off my phone whilst I'm in the toilet because I've been in an age!

scottincarlisle Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 After reading this thread I sniffed my first teabag today. A Tesco red label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I don't think I've ever sniffed a teabag, but ('tea bagging' associations aside) there really isn't much that is weird about doing so. People regularly have a sniff of something before they eat or drink it. Wine is the obvious, but not only, example, and I know loads of folk who love the smell from a jar or tin of coffee when it is first opened.

If my girlfriend is trying a food for the first time she'll sniff it before she eats it. Weird behaviour IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not weird at all sir and can apply to many things. The majority of straight men prefer their porn to have gents with huge throbbing boabies in it, but aren't too keen on them otherwise. I love the smell of petrol, but can't stand the taste of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't sniff unleaded petrol too much. It can contain benzene which is a carcinogen. One of the consequences of getting rid of lead in petrol.

andreimack Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Sparkles get paid too much to clean up behind us. That's what joiners are for. Ffs, they work with three colours of wires and a diagram showing them where to connect them to, they have to go back to college if they add a colour... Bright sparks...

Bright sparks... They've got two colours on the one wire though. Give them a break, that must get a wee bit confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
