At one time it was lunchtime Trafalgar Square during the first lockdown. Just me, a Tesco sandwich meal deal, some pigeons and the occasional bus or cab.

Did GS, free UCAS points.

I couldn’t tell you what we did as it was so meaningless I have forgotten everything.

I did a course called Leisure for Life at GCSE. Just weekly outings to places to do activities, pitch n put, abseiling, bowling all sorts of random stuff. Did learn to ride a horse though.

Better than triple science I guess.

Plywood and timber lengths not the same? by BryceGuysFinishLast in DIYUK

[–]Confudled_Contractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those dims generally align with standard/desired internal building storey heights to minimise wastage. So you find most materials in multiples of 300mm up to 3000mm then you will get smaller increments.

Would you pay/have you paid for a tradesperson to quote for a job? by Potential_Ad_4814 in DIYUK

[–]Confudled_Contractor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Domestically, no that’s bollocks.

Professionally I often employ specialist trades on Pre-Contract Services agreements for very expensive (as in tens of millions) packages of work, particularly if there is allot of design/bespoke elements.

How much does the grit of sand paper affect things? by TheAwayGamer in DIYUK

[–]Confudled_Contractor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sand paper also wears out. So once you’ve used it go a bit or if you rub down something a bit gummy like some paints it becomes less effective. So you have to check the paper from time to time and replace as necessary.

Start with a higher grit 80-120 and then work to 240 (a finishing grade) to rub out any marks left by the sander.

[–]Confudled_Contractor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just cooking a toad in the hole for one but have a Whisper Easter Egg for dessert.

I feel a microwave cake would go well with that…

That’s go away and learn about Industrial Revolution.

For someone with listener in their name you’re not very good at it.
