Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

DIY DisastersWhat would you do if you dropped a small screw in a frustratingly inaccessible gap?
(This was one of four screws used to attach a washing machine drainage pipe to a sink drainage pipe. I didn't have any spare screws of this size)
Buy a new pack, right? Nope. I'm too cheap (Scottish/Jewish ancestry). So I soaked a sock in golden syrup and stuffed it in there, hoping that it would adhere to the gloop when I pulled it out. It didn't. Now we have no screw, a sticky mess that's impossible to clean, and come summer, ants.
Arse.
