DIY disastersI 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.

Home-made stuffCoffee beans soaked in stuff sounds nice, I might give it a go. However, due to the fact that I can't even smell Kahlua without retching (an unfortunate incident where I had to down a pint of the damn stuff is to blame) I might not be able to swallow...
I've tried skittles/jellybeans/marsbars etc vodka, it's just far too sweet for me.
The "sooty whisky" incident was at the end of a very long, very drunken night. Sitting round a hearth with friends, we'd long since drunk the good stuff, and only had a bottle of Bells that some cheapskate had brought along. As we'd been discussing the various merits of Laghroaig/Talisker etc, it was only natural that we bemoan the lack of "peatyness" in Bells. Then we stared into the fire, and some bright spark (probably me) said "I know! Letsh add shome shoot! That'll make it tashte like REAL whishky!". So we gathered it up from the fireplace, poured it in, shook the bottle around, had a swallow each, then retched. Copiously. I now have only friends who know the importance of good whisky, and of stopping me from carrying out any brilliant plans until I'm sober.
