This is a question DIY disasters

I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.

Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

DIY Curry
Last night we made a DIY Curry. Did everything from scratch. We made it super spicy. Oooh it was a hot one. But beer cooled it down. Ahhh felt stuffed.

The disaster happened this afternoon. It took its revenge. I screamed in the toilets, and i just shat blood! :(

I keep meaning to do that, i live about 100yds away from an 'asian food supermarket'
It seems blasphemous to use pataks jars when that's there.

Got a recipe?
