    Krusty wibbled
    I've got a Nitro MT2 truck ... and an Associated B4, couple of Losi
    XXX's (where my name came from originally), and shed-loads of
    other'stuff' for R/C racing. Ace fun, but I've stopped racing now and
    taken up Archery. Bloody addictive ... ;)

    OOp Norf.. the boychics obviously earn too much money...

    That aside... does the snap-on stuff feel really smooth to the
    touch... kinda like silky... You know what I'm saying here... Oh God
    don't you just love tool-porn...

    Well, so far...
    No mains drainage on Xmyth eve (see other post).
    Rodding the drains again on Xmyth morning.
    Taking my mum to hospital on Xmyth Day to see the old man.
    Discovering that he can now add renal failure to his checklist.

    Oh, and a tap and die set from my boy.

    Ho hum, happy holidays.

  14. I saw that in Waterstones and browsed it. It is, indeed, rather good.

    Is this one of these "This year Jemima and I won't be sending cards.
    Instead we've bought a shovel for a brown person on the other side of
    the world.... cos it's easier" ethical gifts?

  16. I've heard mixed reviews about The Pot Kiln, have you been before ?

    Was thinking of taking my mum their for her birthday, but web reviews seem
    50% good / 50% bad.

    Ronnie Wood's bio is good too. Currently reading Clapton's which is
    much darker.

    Not really. It's an adoption thing.

    *Hopefully* the money may help save them from extinction.

    IME Web reviews tend to be that anyway :) I like Mike Robinson's style
    and attitude, and am happy to form my own opinions. If her birthday is
    after 29th March, I'll report back.
