Tell us something really trivial about your life Volume 40
Discussion
Due to being a bit of a fool, i managed to give myself an ingrowing toe nail and when i cut it, it has become infected.
I know....i know
Anyway, my tried and trusted method of dealing with it is to pop the infection and soak it in water with dettol or a lot of salt, works a charm.
And that brough me onto my trivial point, does anyone remember the story of a departed trivialist who once made the mistake of rubbing dettol directly onto his chap in response to his then young maiden informing him she had thrush?
No?
Just me then
So the tale went, she laughed like a loon when he told her and said he was a berk as he should have put the dettol in water and bathed it.
Which reminds me of the guy i knew who once tore a hole in his foreskin due to his then young lady being quite petite and him being a.....larger....fellow. He asked for remedies so i said bathe it in salt water and specified a pinch of salt. Daft bugger emptied a kitchen salt bottle into water and dunked his chap into it
Oh how i laughed

We're back in the UK now, has anyone been fiddling around with the thermostat? Bloody chilly, it is.
Never mind. Got Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas to look forward to now. Yay.
A stubborn pozidrive screw? Milwaukee impact driver old boy, rarely seems to fail. I have the Hades b
d 5.0aH one, otherwise drill the bugger out.
Use a good drill bit though, otherwise you'll be in a world of pain. Have a look at Milwaukee Red Helix, won't go too far wrong with those buggers..
That Mr Bomma, he speak sense!Never mind. Got Halloween, bonfire night and Christmas to look forward to now. Yay.

I've never come across anything that combination won't shift.

You must have been around for the Dettol incident Bom
Is that the one involving a wire brush? I've been told not to talk about it since he stopped flying helicopters.Anyhow, we're home now. Proper cup of tea and a bacon roll, etc etc.
Nice to be home, though
We had a guy who used to frequent the Towers who was a bit of a character - i believe he has been banned - and amongst other things, he had a young lady who once had a case of thrush. She told him and when he asked what he should do.
Bathe it in Dettol said the maiden
So silly bugger that he was, he just rubbed neat dettol onto it, then called her in a panic as it started to swell up and turn a delicate shade of purple.
Mind you there was the story of getting caught once filming his shenanigans and i'm leaving that one there

Cannot remove 2 screws in the wheel arch of my 11 year old BMW diesel, to change a blown bulb in the headlight.
Extremely frustrating.
Have dowsed in WD40, but the screws are not coming off/ turning. Posi-driver fits perfectly, but the screws are not budging.
Planning next strategy.
Ask Bomma, he’ll have something to shift themExtremely frustrating.

Most likely the rest of the car too but the screws will have been sorted
Apparently it proved most efficacious for Byker's little problem.

My really nice pair of casual shoes I wear a bit often have worn through the soles. A new pair is £85. I took them to the repairers in town. There was a time when I would have just left them there and dealt with the money issue when I collected them. I'm glad I asked for an estimate. £69.
"Well, yeah, but, y'see..."
"No, you're all right, mate, I'll buy a new pair. Thanks."

I wonder if blackbirds get thrush?A mixture of Dettol, Fiery Jack and Nitromors should shift most stubborn rashes, but I would advise wearing a pair of blue neoprene gloves before applying it to the old chap.
It's best to apply it outside where it's well ventilated and there's plenty of space to run around without any trip hazards.
Think safety.

Up early this morning watching Japn F1. Really wet here
Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywhere
Apologies for myabstinence abscess abolition absence last night, we were over friends until about half ten and then I watched the England v Chile game, a decent enough game, Chile did put up a decent defence, but their lack of experience showed, a good effort though for their first ever world cup appearance.
I haven't seen the Ireland game and it appears I missed a cracker!!
A day in the garden today, followed by more rugby for me, enjoy your Sunday all!!
