I need an electric screwdriver. And some abs.

Woke up this morning unable to move after yesterday's flat-pack furniture-building frenzy - built another bookcase this afternoon, and now I can't feel my right arm, or stand up. Seriously feels like I've been kicked in the stomach by a horse.

The packaging said it was a two-man build; the clue should've been when it took me 20 minutes, sumo-style, to get all the boxes from the car to my house (I parked 3 feet away).

OW, OW, OW...

Oh, also I learned that using a cushion as a silencer when hammering dowels into wood doesn't work - and makes it A LOT easier to hammer the sh1t out of your thumb. Who knew?!

That's a shame, we have a bloody great big quadruple wardrobe being delivered in a couple of weeks' time, I was going to invite you down to put it together for us

Ha ha!! I'd normally jump at the chance but I won't be doing any jumping for a while lol - my back's killing me! I'm calling it the revenge of the Ikea Kallax. Killax would've been a better name for it - I'm walking like Albert Steptoe today

Not to lose my temper whilst attempting to turn a mattress - I gave it a massive hoik - misjudged the angle and was nearly crushed to death, oh, and and I now have what looks like carpet-burn all the way down both of my arms. That's attractive.

...that forums are outdated. They killed off the official Suede forum today because apparently (according to the admin) band forums are outdated.

I don't agree. It was my main source for news on the band etc. I know, there's facebook but honestly, it's not the same and I just cannot be bothered to check their facebook profile.

I don't agree either.
Communities are certainly NOT outdated

That's a great way of putting it Steve, and sorry for the Suede crash Melly. I've been struggling with the Discogs community and I found myself turning into a bit of a pig in my counterattacking some pigs there - eech! How did that happen...thing is I've decided to withdraw from contributing there - just use the place for my needs and in doing that I'm kind of witnessing an alright community with its bit of bad attitude and bit of woodworm but you know some folk there are ok obviously and I didn't need to be such an ass. But I can't say I've learnt anything from it yet - Christ some of those people just really annoyed me. Other than that; hello Cure community - I've had heaps of work and another few weeks ahead of me full of the stuff - which is great fun of course but I might not be able to say hello here much over the next few weeks.

steve: Exactly, facebook et al. aren't real communities. Forums are way better for communicating and getting to know people/fellow fans. Those facebook profiles are all over the place really, how are you supposed to interact with other fans there? I don't get it. Meanwhile the whole official Suede site is down.

Thanks my dear. xo It is. My mom had Macular degeneration and I have a touch of it on the left. I do have the treatable kind. I want bionic eyes and throw in bionic knees while we are at it!
