I have a gay man inside me trying to get out
which is a pain when trying on clothes let me tell you.


Ahem...but I do the same thing - go, find, buy, go home. Although I do often stop at the local watering hole (cafe) for sustenance (coffee).

I do browse briefly in some shops
Such as car showrooms, electrical shops and B&Q.

But I soon get bored. And I detest clothes shopping. I do it only when necessary, and then only for the shortest possible time. I did lots in a single hour in the US on holiday, which will satisfy my clothing needs for a good year or so.

I have to admit
that I like browsing in DIY shops sometimes - especially if they have a garden centre attached. I have a thing about power tools - at the moment I'm enjoying a fruitful affair with a reciprocating saw - the two apple trees in the garden aren't happy about this though.

what do you recommend for sawing up old bits of pine furniture?
I'm all for using my normal handsaw but Catface says it makes his arm hurt.

Just tell him to MTFU,
And hit him harder.

If you're not fussy about neat cuts
then use a bushman saw. It'll make short work of most softwood. It's also handy for hacking branches off trees.

Otherwise, a decent sharp general woodworking saw should do.

And give Catface a bit of a workout to build him up.

Definitely a reciprocating saw if you can lay your hands on one
they are ACE!
Like a hot knife through butter when I took out some large branches of both the apple trees and a pine tree.

Otherwise consider an axe - it's not any better but the feeling of being on the edge and being prepared is rather good.
