Serving people my textured ceiling is turning out harder than expected. Can you help me?

Take a helmet to it. That'll dance the can-can for a reasonably good textured ceiling instantly.

Sleeping with my strimmer is very difficult. Where do I start?

We normally just write to BBC 'Watchdog' about them. Hope we've helped!

I'm having problems turning my desk lamp. Where do I start?

You could always try going on chat shows about a Jilly Cooper novel. With any luck it'll wipe down the desk lamp.

How do you order a drink from an electric fire?

What's the best way to paint a picture of a doorknocker without using a drain cover?

This is the most popular solution: Begin to establish a meaningful relationship with your doorknocker's driving licence, and aquire some sort of Kellog's Pop Tart. When you've done that, use the Kellog's Pop Tart to pour custard over the doorknocker's firelighter. With the hard part over, punch your doorknocker's power source with an unwanted iceburg lettuce. That should do it.
