I had to remove a plank from the decking today. I was expecting hassle removing rusted screws from swollen wood. It was a breeze thanks to my recently acquired impact driver. A small thing I know.

Stainless wood screws are not very expensive these days, I always use them outdoors - can save a lot of hassle.

I think these were cadmium plated, that golden colour, though they were green when they came out.

I find it amusing the PM tells us the cabinet is behind her Brexit deal. That'll be the cabinet excluding the Brexit Secretary, who I thought was supposed to be negotiating said deal.

Does that sound like, "You can have the job until I tell you what your decision is?"

You have to love politicians!

the problem with politicians, they dont know how to do the job they are given. politicians rely on advisers and civil servants who are supposed to know what they are doing. if the advisors and civil servants are bad then you get a bad politician making bad decisions.
