DIY disastersI just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

The 50% idea is terrible...Really terrible. Mind you, I think that getting rid of grammar schools and the upgrade of the poly system to university status was terrible, too.
Allow - for the nonce - that everyone has a right to compete for a university education. It follows from that that everyone has a right to the necessary preparatory education (and I mean EDUCATION, not TRAINING); it does not follow that everyone has a right to go to university, any more than it follows from the right to try for the Olympic team that one has a right to be a member.
Crackhouse, I take your point about elites bursting from within - but the point stands that there are certain things that are just admirable, dammit, and the more people we can get even to aspire thereto, the better.
EDIT: Spelling now un-badified.
