Tuner. Maybe if I’d had more space I would have done by ear.
School music teacher used to claim that the average domestic hoover is a 220hz A, and make us hum along with that, saying it didn’t matter then that no-one at school had an oboe. He was a deeply weird man.
My mum got it for me when I was 19 and moving into my first shared house at uni. Bit of an insult really as by then I’d been working part-time as a chef for two years but it did the job
I have a useless bro I would happily send to the gulag with yours.
subthread: tekkers for changing a double duvet
I employ the “spooky” technique, whereby I actually get inside the cover, holding two ends. after I’ve spooked a few people, I then grab two ends of the duvet itself and pull. everyone does this, right?
I’ve got a similarly useless brother, is there a thread in this…?
It’s actually my useless bro’s birthday today, but he’s been such a little shit for the past 6 months he didn’t get a present.
Duvet cover inside-out; both arms inside the cover and pinch the far corners and the corners of the duvet; do a big flap; bob’s your uncle.
No, I put each corner in the top of the duvet, hold on to each corner and then shake the duvet, and it falls flat inside.
I think thats the same as my technique, but perhaps you don’t actually cover yourself with the duvet like a ghost?
did that for years until I discovered the spooky way. haven’t look back, mate.
How is physically getting inside a duvet easier? It takes like 2 minutes to change a duvet cover.
Only if no one’s watching.
probably less than a minute for me. plus, its fun.
I am horribly claustrophobic tbh.
ouch!
Is she a master of backhanders? My mother said to me the other day “Oh you should write a book … not one for adults though, you couldn’t manage that”
Perhaps I’m on the path to becoming a dad.
Just had to do this, because the screws keep working loose. Apple refuse to use normal screws though, so I’ve got a fine collection now of tiny screwdrivers with different ends.
because I work in book publishing, writing my own book is the only way for me to make my grandparents, who cant seem to grasp why the industry exists, happy.
Love a good precision screwdriver set, me.
Ha she is but she doesn’t know she’s doing it. She recently said “your sister is so lucky, when I die she’ll get all my diamonds” as a weird way of telling me that I should like jewellery more because I’m a woman
