How have you displayed your utter inability today?

I have triumphed by putting a large gammon in the slow cooker, then four hours later going to check it and realised I forgot to turn it on to Cook.

Thank the gods for Deliveroo

And all you had to do was set it to Rupert Lowe

It happens to the best of us at some stage on this unfathomable journey, it's the Law of Sod at work! A sit down with a large G&T with a slice helps..... along with the Man from Deliveroo! 😊🍸

It was a cunning plan to get out of cooking in the future!

I did similar years ago, bought a dimmer switch which didn't work....I was "Grrrr...F#king B&Q!!! shit"😡... so decided to take it back there and then....was taking it off the wall when ⚡💥 it gave me a good-bye handshake... I finished up across the room on my back almost landing on the TV!🤯.... it was certainly a lesson on the power and perils of the old Lecky! 😂

Bacon, black pudding and tomatoes all under the grill. Went into the front room with a brew, 5 minutes picking the film I was going to start watching and thought "I'll just see how the bacon is". Went into the kitchen and couldn't smell anything. Opened the oven door and saw a tray full of raw food. I had switched the grill on and failed to actually set the temperature. I'm just glad it wasn't four hours to cook my breakfast!

Lel, well at least you survived! A volt meter is you're friend here! However, probably best not to mess with mains electric if you are not sure what you are doing... it has a habit of biting you else!

FFS don’t do any more work on mains electrics! And think twice about tackling any plumbing…..

For me, getting a good straight and professional-looking line of sealant around a bath is a total nightmare. But when I watch the pros, they make it look so easy and do it in no time. What's their secret?

My example was on Saturday afternoon, it was a lovely sunny day and I decided to rake the lawn to get rid of the moss and was doing a reasonable job until I scrapped off a patch of skin between my thumb and finger, even though I was wearing gloves.

I should have worn thicker gloves!

Someone said to me yesterday, that my hands were too soft and I wasn't used to that kind of hard graft, they were right!

You need to wank more to condition your hands to more “work”.

This is why God invented Fray Bentos pies in a tin...a store cupboard essential

My best tip....never try to slice anything on a mandolin (after 2 serious gin and tonics) while you are also trying to entertain guests who have arrived EARLY

I see you're older and wiser like me.

Mine is 'never lick a steak knife'.

Ineptitude or dementia. The other morning I was pulling up my clean underwear. I got to about half mast and discovered I hadn't taken my dirty ones off

Doesn't matter what I do it looks like I was shaking like a shitting dog. Same goes for painting with a small brush. I'm fine with a wide one and can do wall to ceiling or vice versa in black and white and it looks perfect. Put a half inch brush in my hand and I go all Impressionist.
