We use to use these when we were building lighting rigs during the Edinburgh festival. There was an occasion were I was at the top of a ladder tightening the nut on one of these. You had to lift up the scaff bar at the same time to take the weight of the clamp while you tightened. Being about 10 foot up a ladder not holding on I was wobbling all over the shop. I thought everything was tight and let the clamp take the weight but my finger got caught in between the washer and bottom nut. It was a very painful experiences. (When I also last used these, you could not tighten them by hand you had to use a spanner. It made life a little more tricky.)

surely you'd utilise the ever handy 90 degree angle ratchet?

you don't still use one of them do you ?

I have to admit I do like a roam around a toolshop even though I don't know much about them. And Stationers

Gah for fuck sake.

I like to have a good nosey in the stationery room at work. There is always something that finds its way into my pocket.

mmmmmmrrrrrrryyyyyyymansssss

I'm going to have to take my hat off to The Leatherman Wave. I have owned one for about 8 years now and it has dug me out of many sticky positions. Last night the flush on my toilet decided that it had had enough. The rubber seal had eroded to a point were it had fallen to bits. After unscrewing the lid, cutting out a new seal, fitting, job was sorted. Multitool saved the day again. Here here to The Leatherman.

ah Ben. A mate of mine swears by the leatherman. he can wittle a new house out of a fallen branch with one.

When I was at university I did a shop at the local supermarket. To save me carrying all the shopping we stole one of the shopping trolleys and wheeled it all back to the house. The problem then was that once we made it home and unpacked the shopping we discovered that we couldn't get our pound back out of the trolley. All being to lazy to walk back we decided to sit and have a smoke. After a few bongs and a couple of spliffs we decided to file through the chain so we could regain the pound. An hour and a half later the pound was free and the trolley soon became our night time dodgem.

Hahahahaha. brilliant. There is nothing finer than a set of wheels when drunk/stoned. (except a car of course)

I dunno. Skiing arseholed is great!

I currently have to make our youngest an "authentic English longbow of only the finest Yew" (his words).

It's not as easy as I thought, but fucking hell if I'm not really enjoying it in a very guilty way.

I am, like many of his harebrained quasi mediaevalist wheezes, fairly certain he has no clue how much strength is needed to pull the string back to your chin.

I told him he'd better be dead eyed dick crossed with Robin Hood with the bastard in 6 months or it's the last time I get involved with his bloody "commitments" (read : hobbies NOT university)

Remember Agincourt!

The might English Longbow made mincemeat of them French cunts.

He a rum one isn't he your lad? what is he now? 22?

Hang on!

you are making an 'english longbow' for your lad?


DO TELL us of your progress on this project.

For the 1st time I am genuinely interested in what The Twat is making. Anything that annihilates the french in large numbers fascinates me.

I have to make one of these



out of this



and the arrows have to be fire hardened oak

oh and apparently goose feather fletches.

Have you ever approached a fucking goose? It;s like trying to take hairs from an angry doberman

I can vouch they are fucking nasty pieces of work. Sooner slit ya throat than look at ya. I once got collared by one peeking into its nest. next thing its got me by my duffle coat hood and its ragging me round the farm yard. painful times sherrers.

Oh and you do live in a weird and whacky world dont you tim.

I hope when i have little uns they dont ask me to make anything like a longbow. Im shite.

wait a minute, its a goose

hardly a grizzly bear

if geese were that hard and vicious, they would be rulling the world

These are killer turkeys, I'm sure geese fall into the same category!!

The fucker that i tangled with had jedi powers

"these arent the nests you are looking for"

they never even attacked

just ran at them

I get a similar sort of reaction from birds in general.

I reckon if anyone approached an animal 'fucking' they wouldn't be best pleased....unless they were into a gang bang of sorts....inter species sexually types?

Sherrers have you finsihed your long bow for your lad yet?

If its finished, have you killed any wild boar with it. If not, why not?
