A few oddities for people to waste their time puzzling out:

you know of any more...

snipped-for-privacy@care2.com coughed up some electrons that declared:

Well, it looks like it's moulded that way, and not just been cut on the face edge, despite the fibres clinging on.

Beyond that...

It's the day-old crust of a Furdwangler's butty. Not to be confused with a Knurler's lunch.

Just a couple of wild guesses as they are not things I use for DIY

a)Mushroom for scribing? I don't think people darn socks anymore. b)The other fibrous item , could it be the business end of a wallpaper stripper, looks like a yellow hose might be connected.

Or a sagger makers bottom knockers breakfast.

Nor indeed a brass-bound uncle frightener.

Both of them have long discussion threads already, though where I dont know. The wire in the macro pic is 1mm diameter, so the brown fibrous thing is around 3mm thick. Looks and sounds like hardboard, but I know for sure there was no hardboard there when I took that pic. I've never managed to remember what the d--- thing was though!

Sorry, cant agree. That contains many of the ingredients of a Knurlers lunch, not 100% agreed, but enough to make it similar.

You appear to have completely forgotton Nark Fettering on Ice.

Tsk.

True, but then I'd want fries with that.

Didn't think you were old enough to remember that.

I'm not, I just love trivia.

Only if we are playing according to Trumpington's Variations.

It was the mime that gave it away.

Oh oh. Let's not start! It could be a slippery slope!

:-)

No, the slip would be hard by the time the knocker got involved.

OK - but it's a *saggar* maker's bottom knocker (or his breakfast).

I don't need the trivia, I just remembered the prog :-(

Gawd, I'm getting old and I'm not 63 till next month :-((

Anybody'd think you knew what it meant...
