I became a race mechanic because I started off by fucking around rebuilding a motorbike having never touched a spanner before.

I am all for learning and doing jobs myself but not if it’s going to lead to me getting it in the neck because I’ve done something wrong while learning honestly if I hear her say ‘why are you doing that if you don’t know what you’re doing’ once again I’m getting in my car and driving until I run out of gas.

Also there’s so much more that can go wrong with home maintenance, like I’ve just fucked the wall, that’s now however many hundreds to get someone out the year out that bit of plasterboard, install a new bit, plaster and paint and then another hundred or so to get someone to mount the fucking thing, it’s just not worth the risks
