Jeez Jase I'm impressed, you'd make a good RSM.

The people who owned our house before us were...well...interesting people, I suppose is a polite way to put it.

We walked in on moving-in day, to find the pegboard that held his tools drawn on. It had outlines of each tool, and a "handy" little note from him inviting us to use the same pegboard and drawn-in spaces, just so that we could "benefit from his organisational skills". Gee thanks, tosser!

(This from the same guy, who, four weeks after we moved in and had obviously settled the sale, let himself into the house using the front door key that he had happened to keep, "just in case". I came home from work to find a strange car parked in the driveway, the front door wide open, and Mr Tosser standing in the kitchen with one of our beers in hand, saying, "oh, I just thought I would drop around an old crate of spare carpet...hope you don't mind that I let myself in!") I kid you not!!

jebus that would scare you aye esie!!!!

Needless to say the locks got changed

Ardy , go the rolling tool chest . Tools all in the right drawer and you can lay spanners out in their order inside the draw , rubber mat stops em sliding about . Then you dont have to waste time wandering back and forward to the peg board . Move the tool box to the bike . They can be expensive , but it will only be a once in a lifetime purchase . Keep the race tool kit in the top box so you can just put it straight into the car , more time saving

You must be a barrel of laughs to share a house with Ardy


.....I should send my mother-in-law around, she's great at putting things back exactly where you don't expect them to be

Uhm, i believe the first words out of her mouth woulda been "gtfo" . Seriously, people who think they are Gods gift like that need their teeth rearranged, and unfortunately i know a few like that.

Well, in all fairness, it's only some things I like that way. For example. Kids toys? No point. They end up allllllll over the house and the boy doesn't understand... yet! Sally's stuff? Well, no point starting domestic warfare...

And I try to be reasonable. It inuriates me that I can never, ever find the potato peeler in the utensils drawer. But, I just grit my teeth and put up with it. We just don't have enough space to have everything set out the way I'd like.

To be honest, there isn't a real lot that annoys me, and I have a very long fuse. Not many people have seen me angry. Things not going back where they belong when I've specifically made a place for it, and people eating at the movies is at the top of my list tho!

It's amazing how kids can change your levels of tolerance to mess

Popcorn, lollies, etc, i don't mind *IF* you keep it reasonably quiet. If you start shaking the crap out of your packets or flick popcorn on my head then i get pissed off. The things i really get the shits with is when people start bringing in a full hot MEAL into the cinema, which i've seen on more than one occasion.

Missus went to see that Benjamin Button movie on its opening day with her mum (A Chrissy pressie from me) and there was some dude eating a freaking kebab or something 1/3 the way through the flick!

Its good to see I'm not alone. As soon as I hear the rustling, I feel my blood pressure start to increase. Then I start to grab the arm rests... Sally normally says "Just calm down and ignore it". Ignore it?? Ignore it?????

Another idea, take Sally and try going to a Gold Class cinema, that's loooooxury compared to the cattleclass cinema you usually go to. reclining couches, can get food/drink brought in at a certain point into the flick.

And you can be 100% sure that it's not going to be a shitty kebab, though if your rather particular, pizza or Nachos might not be that much better for your sanity.

Yep - take the pegboard and those f'n pegs, and place the lot into a local skip.

Problem fixed !!

Tools go in the toolbox. Not on the wall !!

best way to do it. you can get reasonable cheap ones from supacheap and bursons that will do the job.....i have this set up at work and now it lives at home (due to being in spares now not workshop) and to take tools to friends to help them out makes it easier (plus the neighbour i don't like cant see my tools like on a peg board so i tell him that i don't have the tools he needs)
