You are doomed. Soon you will spend most of your day in the shed sorting out your screws. You can join my screw sorting out forum if you like, the other week we had a fascinating discussion about whether it was acceptable to put 2 1/2" and 3" screws in the same box.

oh no... I'm currently sorting out a toolbox... help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Of course it isn't acceptable, next thing you will be saying that you mix slotheads and posidrives, that's a slippery slope to combining brass and anodised zinc in the same container!!!!

Stone the heretic.

Where the hell did I put my pipe?

Oh well. Thanks for that everyone, that's a lot of help.

I can see that turning into Victor Meldrew is an inevitable part of the ageing process that I should learn to embrace.

Now, I have received a letter from the council telling me that they are fining me for not sorting my rubbish into different coloured bins. I don't believe it!

[BrilloPad]

is it a normal part of the ageing process?

Of course it is. What made you think it might not be?

I have this irrational yearning for a brown Rover 2000. Does that count?

Well, in that case, I'm definitely not middle aged yet. I sort my screws into 50mm and 60mm sizes.
