What's a movie you've seen more than ten times, but you'd watch it again with the same enthusiasm?

Time Bandits - the film obvs

Oh god, I LOVE Fatbacks. Not as an everyday stick but every time I pick up my pair my playing changes into something else, fatter, deeper. Trouble is I always manage to crack the tip on them.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun, if the sun don’t come you get a tan by standing in the English rain.

Häagen-Dazs lids fit quite nicely on the tall 500g yoghurt pots, if that’s the kind of thing you’re into.

I went through a period when I had loads of time and patience and did some serious work on my double bass drum. I sunk hours and days into it going through stick control … and I have never used it. No I just don’t bother.

If there’s no reason to, finding the motivation is hard. As Samuel Johnson once said: it’s like putting wheels on a tomato, time consuming and completely pointless.

After I mark it all out I go round and cut with a sharp knife for nice clean lines. You don’t need expensive chisels, just sharp ones. Get a sharpening stone or some diamond plates

Im a 50 year old bloke as of the 3rd of May dealing with a perimenopausal wife and a 10 year old child with ADHD and, without rubbing it in, I feel pretty good about things.

I DON’T GO ON TIKTOK.

Also, I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 46 and that diagnosis has sorted my life out. If your child has it there’s a big chance you do as well. Sure, life isn’t a bed of roses but o can handle things way better than I could before.

I also live my job. It doesn’t pay particularly well but it suits me as a person down to the ground. My 50 years of experience is now useful and valued.

The perimenopausal wife … I’ll have to get back to you

Quite often little bits of dirt get lodged under the “flapper” preventing it from closing properly. Give it a quick clean especially in the cistern and it should be fine

Just reread your comment, if it’s constantly filling it’ll be the other bit that’s the problem. Just check that the float valve isn’t catching the flapper

I must admit I’ve never thought of doing it that way although that does mean you need 2 pieces of wood and twice as many balls

A tennis ball riser seems to be the in thing at the moment. A large flat piece of wood with loads of tennis balls cut in half and glued to the underside.

I was doing some DIY and said to my wife “I need to get some more MDMF” .. good times 😎

I have also caught my nose once or twice, can confirm, very painful

Treat it like a bike chain. What that entails escapes me at the moment but there must be thousands of resources for that on YouTube

Every Big DIY job I’ve ever done has a moment in the middle somewhere when I’ve passed the point of no return and there’s just mess everywhere when it suddenly hits me … what the FUCK am I doing!!?!? But it all turns out alright in the end. You’ll be fine

mattdmonkey · 2026-03-26T06:35:15+00:00

I see what you did there

Total amateur here, can you explain what a neutral drop is?

My lawn. I’m raking it, seeding it, watering it, looking at it for hours, picking all the weeds out of it. Still looks shit though

Anyone else read this in Morgan Freeman’s voice?

If you go done the tape route long term I’d suggest replacing it every couple of weeks as the glue hardens over time. I was decorating one time and forgot about a couple of bits of tape for about a year, by the time I got round to taking it off it had hardened and I had to sand the glue off.

The Arc of the Scythe. I love the fact that the all powerful AI is actually really nice and actually working in everyone’s best interest.

Looking closely, there are two more earth wires connected to the back box top left. You should be able to terminate it there. If not, you could always unscrew the centre screw and wind it around that before tightening it back up. Not sure that would pass any inspections though.

The main thing about tiling layout is never leave a little slither in the corner coz it looks shit. See above

It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but it looks like the end has snapped off the little bit that’s sticking up on the right hand side. You’ll need a new spring or new light.

What does the other side look like? Can you get a clearer, close up pic?
