Mr_Odwin Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Today I had no contraceptives and no money (and I don't like to go to shops on a Sunday) and I don't want another kid right now. Dilemma. So I was all like "cling film! that'll work. Just gotta use it right and not tell the wife what I'm doing." Luckily it didn't come to that, but it was a close thing. Any solutions you've stuck/bodged together?
Guy Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 This is the greatest thread I have ever read on here. Laughing my fucking ass off.
Tyson Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 Wouldn't cling film cling both ways? Meaning you'll pull it out, but you might not actually pull it out.
Jimbob Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 A new use for cling-wrap. Should keep things fresher for longer really.
Goron_3 Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 I've tried to use gum before. Im not even joking.
ReZourceman Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I used a traffic cone once. It was a car crash.
Serebii Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Why cobble stuff together...more pleasure and just use coathangers later :p
Serebii Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 And you wonder why you're single? I'm clearly not serious lol
Shorty Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 My shower hose leak is repaired by duct tape. I watch HD videos from my PC through to my big telly using a 10 metre long HDMI cable that just trails through the hallway. Or it did until I had to pack it away finding the door had worn away the flex baring cable. My CD player is fixed on the inside with a bit of tin foil. When we got 2 pet rats we needed to block off the holes meant for plastic tubes for smaller animals. Pringles lids and cupcake holders ftw. All the icons were worn off our oven by the previous owner, so we spent some time figuring them out and colour coding them:
ReZourceman Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 That would have been cool but the complete botching of the yellow to orange to red universally accepted heat indicator is making me feel angry.
Wesley Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I can't think of anything cobbled together... I kind of hate the idea of things being cobbled together at home. I want things done right, with quality in mind. Edit: If you had those colours then how would you do it ReZ? It makes sense (ish). Unlike that thing in your avatar, what the fuck are you doing now?

I want things done right, with quality in mind. Edit: If you had those colours then how would you do it ReZ? It makes sense (ish). Unlike that thing in your avatar, what the fuck are you doing now? A) I wouldn't have those colours. I'd make sure I'd have a better selection. Hell really the only problem is pink, so if I had those I'd have pink as coldest, then blue, purple, yellow, orange, red. (Pink first because pink = girly, girls are pussies, and thus pussies = coldest) B) Its from Breaking Bad, do yourself a favour and familiarise yourself with all the seasons. And by that I mean watch them. I'm just annoyed because no one goes on about it enough, so this thing has been out of my life for like 2 years and no one told me it was "shit is off the hook" levels of complete and utter awesomeness.
Retro_Link Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 A) I wouldn't have those colours. I'd make sure I'd have a better selection. Hell really the only problem is pink, so if I had those I'd have pink as coldest, then blue, purple, yellow, orange, red. (Pink first because pink = girly, girls are pussies, and thus pussies = coldest) Purple is so colder than blue! Ideally Pink would go before Red, but that would fuck up the Y, O, R combo, hmm...
jayseven Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I was going on about BB since the first episode, raving about it pretty much weekly. I finally got Dan Dare to watch it and we were joined with Coolness Bears and somehow word finally spread! At my uni house last year the provided doorstops were shit, so we used folded cardboard or fire-extinguishers... In my room I'd tied a ribbon from my bed to the doorhandle (which kinda broke the handle so I had to stop that...) I'm not much of a bodger. My xx's laptop monitor refused to stay up byitself so she concoted a sort of... drawbridge thing out of string and cardboard and parcel tape. The most 'bodging' I've done, resource-wise, was using cardboard boxes for bedside cabinets... EDIT: How is any colour colder than blue?! Purple has red in it... so by default it comes after blue :P
Dan_Dare Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Did I not watch BB before you? Failing massively to remember who hooked this brother up. And yes, I rant about it whenever allowed and you should know by now that I'm always right.
Shorty Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 That would have been cool but the complete botching of the yellow to orange to red universally accepted heat indicator is making me feel angry. It's not a heat setting you dimwit. Would we need to colour co-ordinate that? And how would we even figure it out, with a thermometer? It's things like "fan oven", "grill", "bottom oven only" etc.
ReZourceman Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 It's not a heat setting you dimwit. Hardly dimwitted to assume a knob on an oven is something to do with heat.
Shorty Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 It is if you take into account the two questions I posed after my statement.
MoogleViper Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Would we need to colour co-ordinate that? You may want to be certain of which way to turn the knob. And how would we even figure it out, with a thermometer? I believe you just answered your own question.
Shorty Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 The knob only turns one way. And I don't think my standard under-the-tongue thermometer goes up to 300 degrees.
