That could be easily solved by moving the handles to a vertical position in line with the cupboards below.

Very funny though!

which would look pretty st, and would be only slightly more functional

Could easily be solved by not installing two drawers at 90 fking degrees attached to each other by a bit of fking worktop

I am installing a new kitchen in a couple of months, I must take note.

just get a man in FFS. Unless I was an expert I'd only be pissed off with own work; which is the constant dilemma of the detail obsessive. Plus who has days and days to spend hitting their own thumbs with hammers and pulling their hair out? fk that st.

That's what she said, so my pride and manliness is now at stake.

In have fitted one before many years ago, and I am retiring in a few weeks so time is not an issue

I will be getting a man in for the plastering and the worktops.

Ha fair enough. Sounds like I'm a fair bit younger - not sure if that makes a difference. Whilst I stop short of long hair and man-makeup, I don't have any issue with having my DIY manliness challenged! I am OK with some aspects of DIY, but I'd see kitchen-fitting as a specialist job so I'm at peace with it.

To make it a bit more complicated I am fitting some of the old kitchen into the utility room as well, should be fun.

My son has offered to help so I am not completely on my own

Mine annoyed me too, I did the same:



The only issue was the bulb was a little more 'pink' when lit but then I could count on one hand the number of times I used the fog lights on my car in the 3 years I owned it.

Use an LED bulb rather than an conventional incandescent

You need to insert two filler corner plates, the width of these will be how far your handles stick out plus 5mm each for a good 'draw movement' when open clearance, I did my own.

I don't have a pic because I can't remember the title but there's

a film being promoted on large bill boards.

The 3 leads are on it with names above the wrong people.

Timothy Dalton is one of them.

I've just checked my watch after this and it has IV.
So then I looked online for similar models and the only one I can find with Roman numerals is this one:


Which has IIII.....
What does this mean?
Then again, mine has an older T SWISS MADE T dial.

Traditionally clock numerals, when of the Roman persuasion, use a IIII for a four.

IIII is used in order to 'balance' the look of the face with VIII on the other side.

Both IIII and IV are valid representations on a timepiece.

It's because they're listed by order of 'star power' ie. most important first. This isn't necessarily reflected in the position of the actors in the artwork for the billboard etc.

It's to do with subconscious eye movement. The layout is almost the norm with movie posters.

When looking at print, the eye moves top-left to bottom-right.

When scanning pictures, the eye moves right to left.

Useful to know when planning layouts.

Not quite what the thread was meant for but...

Somebody got a splash of paint on the floor in B&Q today



I was just walking past when it happened and I had to rush to get out of the way!

I did chuckle of course
