[Grunff]

You too??

I get odd looks when I get my mole wrench out at xmas.

Now that's what call a real DIY attitude :-)

Can I have a pint of whatever you are drinking Arthur?

OK - I love torches - always have since I was a kid :-)

Anywho - 5 year old grandaughter (the most beautifil & intelligent child on the planet IMO) spotted said head torch & wandered around for a good hour wearing it :-)

It's a kid thing (I never grew up).

Well online is my usual MO... just not been so on the ball this year.

Good swap?

Oh, yes headtorch - I can think of a few likely candidates for one of those. Well done!

The message from "The Medway Handyman" contains these words:

What's wrong with a big hammer? :-)

Nah -

I wasn't saying that you shouldn't *have* one, Huge, I agree that it's none of the government's business; just curious as to what one would do with it. A genuine one as a collector's item I can understand. Fake one as a collector's item? Seems a strange thing to collect.

Plenty of people have reproduction things if they can't afford the real one. I don't mean plasticy tat here, but why not have a good quality piece of metalwork or china decorated in Samurai or Ming style.

Nothing if you like pulped nuts, all mixed up with bits of shell.

[Huge]

Do you have any prints in your house? Why don't you have a *real* Renoir?

[John Rumm]

Could bring a tear to the eye...

[Owain]

If you have to take your time picking the bits of shell out, it makes the nuts last longer.

Funnily enough, no. Individual works. DIY.

That's next week.....
