I've had that one. No matter how many times I put them in cable ties, it always seems to end up looking like a bird's nest.

What is it with wires anyway that they seem to unplug themselves and then wrap themselves around each other until in a big mess/knot and then plug themselves back in ??

I was moaned at last week for not 'browning' her toast enough.

So, ( and rather creatively ) I made a colour chart at work for easy, future reference. Needless to say my sarcasm/humour did not go down well with the Mrs.

Best thing to do is just 'nod & agree.' Got me by for 3 years now lol

I'm not surprised it didn't go down that well, but funny anyway

Last week, my other half's eldest son (james)nto the back of a car on a round about, fortunately for him, the car he hit suffered no damage so they just exchanged phone numbers and left it at that. James's car had the lights and grille pushed about 3" back with no damage to the bumper or bonnet. I spent the best part of last saturday pulling the slam panel out and re-aligning the headlights and grille so it's back to how it was pre-accident and a couple of days later, I get a bollicking because one of the headlight plastic brackets had broken and the unit is flapping about!!
