One on my domestic duties is to make the bed, this morning when I was changing the sheets, she spotted me with the tape measure out measuring the amount of sheet overhang each side (15.5 inches) what relay finished her off was when I got the bevel gauge out (it had been pre set to 45 deg with the digital angel thinghyI have) to get the angle of the hospital tuck at the end of the bed spot on.
She thinks that I go overboard, but I reckon that a job needs to be done right am I wrong?

Phil, you either have to get out to the shed more often OR get HER to make the bed. :p :;

Sounds perfectly fine to me, what's her problem?
I hope you put a tension gauge on it, nothing worse than a saggy spot.

Phil, get a permanent textile marker and put dotted lines in appropiate places so you don't have to mess around with the tape measure everytime.

We also have two teddy bears on the bed one a girl and the other a boy, when I make the bed I arrange these bears in what could be loosely described as a risqué pose. Well teddy bears apparently are not supposed to get up to naughty behaviour, both the bears and me get into trouble. :D:D:D

Had a thought (wife says it is dangerous when I think) could open a new thread in the Orange Room, it could be a competition members could send in photos of their teddies in risqué poses/situations. might end up with a teddy bear version of that well known Indian publication.
:worthless:
Or maybe it could go into the education section :doh2:

Also, the bed doesn't get made in our house. It gets aired. Read somewhere its better for you if the blankets are pulled back during the day. less bugs lurking there and all that. That's my excuse and I;m sticking to it.

Ooohhhhhh, I like that theory. And when the wife complains I can say I did my research carefully and somebody on the internet said it so it must be true. :D

Wouldn't be able to cope, the bed has to be made tight and dead flat sounds anal doesn't it. You should see how tidy the workshop is even the chisel blades all face the same way hanging like solderers all to attention in a straight line on the shadow board, screw drivers are all neatly arranged in order of length and separated flat blades one end Philips the other end. :2tsup:
Also I hope you are talking about teddy bears, the moderator won't let us talk about the other type,do you think he would get excited? :o

When I grew up in the Irish countryside, it was common to see bedding draped out of bedroom windows on sunny days, or even draped over pruned, dome-topped hedges.

There appears to be some ambiguity; one of the mods, our beloved leader, calls one of his products Shithot (http://www.ubeaut.com.au/waxtik.htm) (funny, I previewed this post to see if the ####hot product name would be censored and guess what? It came up as Shithot!) A photo of another mod was depicted in a photo (today), sticking his two fingers up! Who posted the picture? Our beloved leader!
On daytime radio, one can hear the poo word frequently, and on TV (before the so-called 9PM adult time slot you can hear the f-word, the c-word and everything in between.
Don't get me worng, I don't object to either the Shithot finishing product, or the photo of ##### (far from it, the phot is every bit the mod and quite funny). I don't condone excessive use of profanity, but when used in moderation, or to reinforce a sentiment (or finishing product), then it's no longer profane and where's the harm? A relaxation of the rules, or a level playing field would be welcome.
As for a couple of teddies wearing leather and studs; try driving through the suburbs and being asked by a child to explain what Sexyland stores are all about! There's and debauchery all around us these days... and then there's inofensive fun. I for one am confused.

Our beloved leader! That photo is not what it seems. I was actually making a point and numbering them (as I am want to do), another 2 seconds would have seen 3 fingers up.
On daytime radio, one can hear the poo word frequently, and on TV (before the so-called 9PM adult time slot you can hear the f-word, the c-word and everything in between. That may be so but not on here because we don't have any means to choose who looks. You could argue that neither do the radio stations but if your child is listening you have the option to turn it off.

A relaxation of the rules, or a level playing field would be welcome. This site is one of the few Bulletin Boards in the world that has Education Department approval for studying woodwork. It also has a very high ranking with Google. We would in all probability lose both if members were allowed to run off at the mouth and talk like they do in pubs.
I try to be the level playing field and to be as unbiased as possible in all things.

There's and debauchery all around us these days...It doesn't belong on here and then there's inofensive fun. What is inoffensive for you could well be very offensive for others. I for one am confused.To remind everyone of the rules I and the Mods apply they go like this:
Would you want your 12 year old daughter to see this?
Would you say the same thing to your bosses wife (or any female) on the first meeting?
If the answer is no to either question then it is edited or deleted.

Maybe Neil would endear himself more to the Education Department and improve his Google ranking if he changed the Shithot product name to 'Extremely Good' or some such similar name. :U

My daughter was way ahead of this thread when she was twelve and so are any twelve year-olds I've met.
My carers are predominantly women and while I don't swear, they punctuate their conversation with profuse profanity. Perhaps they don't realise they're swearing, or perhaps they don't even notice that I don't reciprocate. Maybe I drive them to it! :roll:
