For 3 years now I have asked for a really good cordless drill for Christmas and no-one is taking me seriously
How am I meant to make things?

You're a woman
stay away from that stuff. It's better in the long run.

We got a really good one from B&Q for £30
It's served us well. Lots of drilling.

I asked for and got one of those when I left my last job.
They also got me a bench to go with it. I was really pleased they listened to me. I had the obligatory bunch of flowers too though.

I hope you drilled them

No, I dumped the flowers.
I hadn't asked for them.

I gave away an electric plane the other day
I made some doors and sliced my knuckle off. Good times

I sliced lines into my fingers with a grinder when I was trying to re-lay a floor quickly.
I was moving house and didn't notice till the day before when I moved a sofa that one of the kids had spilt a drink underneath it and it had lifted the wooden floor. I was desperately trying to cut the wood down to size and stick it back down and move out at the same time. I didn't notice till later what a mess I'd made of my fingers.

I have an electric can opener, does this count?

Only if you're capable of injuring yourself with it

Well, if you stick your finger in it...
