Don't.

That looks like an active woodworm infestation.
Kill the things with chemicals (is Xylophen a thing in the UK?) before you go further.

Clamp a straight edge such as a long spirit level to the door with two clamps, at the required distance from your cut line to allow your circular saw to run along it nice and straight. And buy a decent, high tooth count, circular saw blade for nice smooth cuts.

No outlay on spenny new tools, upgrade of your existing circular saw, win win...?

But you miss out on the plunge capability, the strip on the track that prevents tear-out, and the ability to perfectly line your track to your cut-line without needing to clamp it.
I've owned a circular saw for 8 years and a track saw for 6. I have never used the circular saw since owning the track saw. It is that much better.

I had a Karcher. It crapped out after very light use.
It has been replaced with a Lidl one which does the same job for less money.

Something like this?

It's amazing I survived to adulthood.
There was the neighbour's VW Beetle, with 4 other kids, sometimes in the back seat, sometimes in the bit behind the back seat; a Commer van driven by my grandfather, usually with the sliding door open, with us sitting on laundry bags in the back, or sat on the bench seat, my dad's Mk1 Escort 3 door, my other grandad's Austin Allegro estate. No seatbelts for us kids in any of them.

my wife’s Cambridge college

I should have known. Shall I make it worse and say she went there twice, the second time to get her PhD, and is now a retired Professor?

True story. Richard Ayoade went to my school and my wife’s Cambridge college.
Too young for either of us to have known him though.

Not if your house isn't super modern and well insulated.

Have they never heard of Lara Croft?

Not satisfied with the wall in the kitchen of my new house, I removed most of it.

The door will go tomorrow.

Back in my day they'd do it with a good thrashing.
Not sure the outcome for that particular boy would improve, but everyone else's would.

I hate the bit they have in Instagram now which pulls posts from Threads, and then if you click on it it drags you off to the app store, or worse, on desktop, actually takes you to Threads.
Why can't I fucking remove it? If you click the thing to "show less often" it's back again before you know it.
I don't want to be on threads. I had a look, it was shit, I deleted my account. Make it go away.

They do work, or at least the big ones do. I used to work in a Barnardos shop and we used one to drop all the creases out of donated clothes before they went on the racks.

Whether this translates to domestic models or which is the best I don't know.

I've never done that but why does my espresso machine only run out of water when I haven't had a coffee yet and really want one?

(spoiler: because I only drink one cup a day. Still annoying though)

Mine’s a 10 year old S type 2 speed and this was true at the time:

The 13t from a 6 speed can be used instead of the 12t on a 2 speed if that helps. That lowers standard gearing to 69 inches.
For other sizes you'd need to dismantle a 9 spline Shimano cassette.

I have no idea how I found that out. I didn’t change the chain set, just the cogs.

I have an Fitness Plus subscription

Suede.

I like Richard Osman and don't get the hate. He seems nice. He's intelligent. His books are actually really entertaining and well-written. And his brother is the bass player in Suede, which is also a good thing.

Went there this evening with friends. Still lovely. Highly recommend it, and the ‘Fleur des Emeyrits’ Lalande de Pomerol.

Very nice surprise!

If you haven’t already go and eat at l’Estaminet in Esse. It’s fantastic.

Anyone can buy property in France, resident or not. Nothing has changed since Brexit. It’s a fairly simple process for the buyer though the paperwork is immense.

Residency is the tricky part.

It is a lovely magazine. I have been a subscriber from the first issue.
