It sounds like you could do with a good pair of gloves.

If you hold a self-tapping screw (or any screw for that matter) while wearing gloves, as soon as you start the cordless screwdriver the screw grips the glove and spins it into a tourniquet. Mashes the glove to bits instantly. It's better to have a screw holder attachment for the drill, but they don't last long before breaking.

I'm building a gaming PC for a friend's grandson. It took a YouTube video for me to be able to remove the cover where the optical drive goes. It took a little more force than I was using. Amma dumma...

Pretty much all engineering challenges can be overcome by using a bigger hammer.

Not just engineering challenges, I may add.

Does Moore's Law apply to hammers?

Actually they become more poo each passing day. As could be said for most tools, or at least the steel used to make them.

drinking tea.  I regularly log on to FB in the morning and it's the same old gnashing of teeth and poking fun of the incoming nightmare of President Trump.  so yes, the world has gone to hell in a handbasket.  I'm tempted to check into a convent for the next 4 years until this whole thing blows over.

Come to the U.K. Europe wants nothing to do with us, the U.S has put us to the "back of the queue" and we only have one electable political party left.

Life is now far more simple.

Make that 8 years.

I would dispute this - I don't think that we have any. But as The Donald™ has shown, you don't have to be electable to get elected.

Whilst that may be true, I'd bet you any amount you like that the same wouldn't apply to Nick Clegg. Ever.

That monkey would have finished typing the complete works of Shakespeare and have moved on to Tolstoy before that'd happen.

warming up after a COLD wet ride home.

Got back from doctor, vaccinations hurt like hell, I have to get them all because they don't show up in my records, doctor thought I was an antivaxtard.

Tetanus hurt like hell and I was told it may hurt for days.

Asked him to fill out the lawyer paperwork, fairly simple poo from blood tests, he said flat out he "doesn't do" disability.

Not sure what to do next. I've tried doing nothing, and I'm all out of ideas.

I'd look for another doctor.  Is there a free clinic you can access?  If you can get the results of your bloodwork from doctor #1, dr #2 should be able to state what's in front of him/her on paperwork.

Still have to do labs, they had too many people yesterday.
