Good news!


I don't mind fixing things, but not keen on working out what needs fixing when it's a mystery.

I asked a 32 year old male colleague to drill a hole in a plastic container this morning. He came up to me and said it's not working. I asked him if he was using it properly. He said yes he was squeezing the button. A quick look and it was blatantly obvious that the drill was running backwards.

I'm 42, I used drills at school and at home helping out when I was younger. My kids have always "helped" assembling Ikea furniture and there has always been a willing helper when any job arises. My 4 year old helped me build my shed a few months ago drilling pilot holes etc (obviously my hand was on the drill too).
But she learnt about altering it to screw in and out. I couldn't get rid of her!

How can you get to 32 years old and never have used a drill before. It beggars belief.
Made me smile though.

Nice bike Adam.
