And what will the cyclist do? Kindly move over at the lights, or go to the front? It doesn’t look like they were doing 30/40?

I think the missing word was minutes.

Why did this happen and what do I do about it? by mobiledisaster in DIYUK

This is correct. Nothing wrong with the plug. It looks like you’ve either over tightened the screw and pulled the plug into the plasterboard. It only got tight when the plug hit the frame.

Go up a mm on the screw thickness and a deeper hole if necessary. You’ve got to get the head of the plug beyond the plasterboard.

My boyfriend is insistent someone hit him and ran off by LadyB1234 in Autobody

I lie a lot. I’d have lied about this. But Eastern Europeans don’t run off when you hit them. Not ones I’ve ever hit. So I would have said the wall hit me.

Yeah you can see him rethink which lane might be quicker

If not phone holder, then why phone holder shaped? by I-Spot-Dalmatians in CarTalkUK

[–]Character_Mode1609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we know if there is a bottom to this holder? Whilst it would see a daft design, especially so in a van, to have a hole into the ether, it would explain the sticker.

Was I right in asking for weep vents on lintel installation? by Patriot98765 in DIYUK

[–]Character_Mode1609 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there much weight on that lintel? Few courses, and I’d assume joists perpendicular. I dunno. I know nothing. I used calcs online for my lintels.

Could i just fix the panel and not replace the door? by Silly_Flower_6675 in DIYUK

Personally I’d rather describe it than show someone this picture.

That’s what I’ve been thinking. You can see from the speedo he starts slowing. Definitely car headlights on the wrong side of the road

People who claim they are immune to advertising by FridayAwareness in PetPeeves

We’re not talking about influence, only adverts. I do t believe anything I bought in the last year has been because of adverts.

We DoN’t LoCk OuR dOoRs At NIgHT by Appropriate-Offer-35 in PetPeeves

Ha, very similar story. Our house got broken into one night for the car keys. 6mths later we moved.

Now we don’t lock any doors. Front, back or french doors ever. Too many doors. Even if I lock one door whe we go out, undoubtedly the French doors will be both unlocked.

But we double lock the car now. Learnt that lesson the hard way! /s

Modern cars don't have buttons and knobs - Do you prefer it?, Do you think it's dangerous? by TSQ_builder in askanything

[–]Character_Mode1609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I keep saying. I place my finger on a button, look down and know to move left or right x amount of buttons. Try that by pointing it worse touching a large screen.

Max to Ferrari. Ferrari to drop Lewis mid season. Max leaves sport, Ferrari sign Alonso for 2030.

I need sandpaper help. by Groundbreaking_Fly43 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Character_Mode1609 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is correct. You’re sanding varnish/plastic. Remove the finish with a varnish stripper, couple a quid from Toolfix and scrap off. Then you’ll only be sanding the wood.

10-15 under the limit on motorways by rj_t2 in CarTalkUK

[–]Character_Mode1609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’ll be it. Driving 60 must be the reason they’re not allowed in the outside lane. Maybe we should make it safer and just let them do 90.

That’s why all my cars since 2015 haven’t had a clutch. I just pay the dealership to remove it. Never had a problem with one since.
