We had this last night with the front door handle, which doesn’t work properly. It’s one of those fucking fully enclosed jobs.

“Dad, we need to get this handle sorted”
“Get a screwdriver”
“I don’t know how to fix door handles. Neither do you.”
“Get me a screwdriver”

Sigh.

It doesn’t fucking let you! I see that there’s an attempt to portray me as technologically incompetent, when that is NOT the case.

#264

Get me a screwdriver.

I’ll let mine tinker with electrics, as he was a sparky for a while when he was younger but anything else I’d rather tackle by myself - Whenever he used to try and fix stuff at home, it’d be nothing but swearing and stropping and usually something getting broken.

One of the sash windows in the living room is broken – the rope on one of the sides snapped.

The other window still opens so it doesn’t bother me.

Sometimes the rope flops down and forlornly and limply hangs bedside the window pane.

Deliveries arriving broken.

Broken guitar pedal and broken guitar pedalboard. Having to wait for the replacement/the rigmarole of getting things returned.

rigmarole

bet there’s a joke involving “rig my roll/role” but fucked if I can think of it. I might try it out in the workshop next time I’m there.

I was going on Bake Off and I thought about cheating on the bread bun section but it was too much of a rig ma role.

EDIT : fucking nailed it.

This is at least a moderate, possibly even a severe irk.

Minorly irked by the way the change of background colour on here has wreaked havoc with mine and @Steved 's avatars.
