skwonk 873 Report post Posted August 12 I did actually purchase some needle point tweezers online yesterday but posted it in the wrong section. Today I bought bread; loaf, three cheese and jalapeno for the eating of as well as potatoes, some grown in England and some grown in Cornwall-land. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muttley 387 Report post Posted August 14 (edited) Sorry, no earworms or views to share. I'll try harder I saw this on ebay, and thought it'd be a fun project It arrived yesterday in a small box, looks great, nice and cleam. Annoyingly though, no sheet to show what bit is what, or where parts go. For a cheappy Chinese knockoff, it snot bad Ok, i admit, the figurette was the seller 😃 Edited August 14 by Muttley 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gorby 1,681 Report post Posted August 16 I had a mysterious message earlier in the week.* An unselfish benefactor asked for my address as they wanted to send me a book on account of me being so fabulous.** Such a generous gift.*** Thanks Richard. *As I knew who it was from and what it was about it wasn't particularly mysterious, I'm just trying to make it sound more interesting than it is. ** The last bit is entirely fictitious. *** Perhaps he's not as Scottish as he makes out? 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was one in the local breakers yard with a crane on the back in the '70's. Was a battered old black thing belching and farting its way around the scrap cars. Reminded me of something prehistoric. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
