nothing has made me do any of those things today
I need a long thin drill bit. Where can I get one?

I like words like nefarious

How long? How thin? What tip?
C'mon man, be more specific.

probably needs to be around 150mm-200mm long
as thin as possible. it'll be going through old plaster. maybe some old thin wood.

Ah, well the best place to go for that specific length is some sort of DIY shop.

it's an unusual thing to be after
as what I want is so long and thin it will probably break if taxed too much.

Oh in that case you should get one from a butchers.

Are you cat5 cabling through plaster and lath walls?

I have to plasterboard over a ceiling
so am going to drill down through the dodgy plaster and lathe either side of the joists at each side of the room so I know where they are for screwing the plasterboard in.

Bite the bullet mate and take the lath and plaster ceiling down.
It's worth it i the long run. Believe me, I learned the hard way.

there are reasons why that's not the best option in this situation
but you have just made something occur to me that might mean we have to do it anyway.

How is that going to affect the ultimate answer of: "some sort of DIY shop"
