    I'm impressed you can do all that and post on CUK while Mrs darmstadt has all three of your testicles in her gob.

    I love my brace and bit screwdriver. When I bought it about 20 years ago, the guy in the shop said Black and Decker had stopped making it, and the one I was buying was the last on sale in the country! The only slight snag is you do need a fair bit of clearance to use it.
    Oh I have loads of them now, I just decided to pick up a few quality German tools before I return to the UK.

    Anyway, this search always gives about an hour's entertainment:

    things to do with nothing - Google Search
    rat tail files
    rasps
    hasps
    bastard files
    flat files
    doubled edge files
    smooth edge files

    what type of file is used to enlarge a 5p sized hole to a 50p sized one ?

    Back in my permie days as a support bod, I used to take the occasional nap in the server room.

    Bit noisy and chilly though!

    Some cracking ones here

    65. Have a staring contest
    88. Break an egg over your child's head by rapping it gently with your fist and then opening your hand to make the egg roll down the face

    It seems that hand tools generally are neglected, power tools get all the attention. Bit of a shame really although I do find gear hobbing machines quite hypnotic to watch. Most CNC machines as well actually.

    I once got phoned by a PM while sat on the throne, I answered it and said "you can't phone me when I'm having a tulip" although actually I was playing chess on my phone.
