Years ago, a guy on site told me to remember the 6Ps - Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. It's stuck with me ever since. (Apart from when I nearly killed the boiler that is!)

I'm sorry, but I just don't see a professional footballer in there. As I have said before, I hope he proves me wrong, as I do before every single one of his performances, but I'm still waiting, even for just a glimmer of hope! My (73 yo) dad cracked me & my daughter up whilst we were watching one of the games over christmas (not sure where he dragged the phrase from) "If John Buckley is a footballer, I'm a chinese noodle maker!" Really hope he comes good but I just can't see it. Send him out on loan to toughen up & lets see what happens when he comes back.

😅. I bet you always get the carpet fitted after decorating now!

Disasters may be a bit strong for a lot of stories. Mis-haps might've been more appropriate. Looks like you've all got the idea of the kind of stuff I had in mind for posters to share anyway. 👍

Anyone got a copy of that photo of Joao & Emnes looking like naughty schoolboys waiting outside Headmaster Tony's office? Proper made me chuckle that one!

As we've all been taking on a few more DIY projects during the last 9 months or so, a couple of recent incidents which happened to myself gave me an idea for a thread where we could share our little anecdotes and let everyone else have a good laugh at our expense. The idea is not to get into debates of whether someone is stupid or not as, let's be honest, most DIY disasters are as a result of stupidity somewhere along the line. Occasionally sheer incompetence, but usually stupidity! Ok, first one for me (and bear in mind I'm an electrical engineer). I wanted to install a high level power socket & aerial outlet in the bedroom rather than having wires dangling everywhere. No problem, I've got this covered. Identified 2No wires in the loft dropping directly above a twin socket in the bedroom. Ok, that's the upstairs ring, I'll just break into that and extend down to the HL socket. MCB off, checked the socket was dead, bingo. Wire cutters out, snip - BANG!!! WTF?. Hang on, that's a 4-core cable!!, what the hell is that for? Anyway, repaired the cable, power back on, everything seemed fine. Completed the job using a different circuit. All is well, or so I thought. Later on that evening - "Why's there no hot water?" "oh shit!" Changed the fuse on the boiler supply, still no joy. Boiler won't reset or fire up. Basically, it'd taken out one of the quick blow fuses in the boiler which I had to get a work colleague to come & change for me the following day as he's Gas Safe - formerly CORGI - registered & yes, he did take the piss! Moral of the story, don't assume you know what's what just because you deal with it every day, check it out properly. Undone by complacency! ☺️ I still blame the guy that installed the supply for the boiler though as the cable routing is completely stupid & it can't possibly be my fault! 😅
