    A good friend of mine who isn't very handy around the house doesnt' own a tool box. He keeps all his tools in an old bread bin !

      WD-40 and Gaffer tape, the roadies tool kit.

      WD-40 for the stuff that doesn't move but should and gaffer tape for the stuff that does move but shouldn't.

        Mr N has been using them for years.
        I used a mobile tyre place when I had a blow out in Farnborough, seemed quite good but I've always taken the car to garage near home.

          Dammit,

          The roadie reference reminded me of a poem/ode I read a long while back but now I can only remember the first verse. Anyone recognize it?

          Here's one to the roadies,
          Those squires to rock and roll knights,
          Who measured miles in multicore,
          And rigged a thousand lights.

                With a bit of Googling you should be able to determine the local birth rate. From that, you should be able to reasonably guesstimate how many babies were conceived on this wet Friday in Swansea.

                      Only that it snowed for much of today. But it has melted and it is raining now.
