Livingstone was famous for sticking a Stanley knife into the back of Andrew McIntosh in the days of the Greater London Council

Cool!  So it's not just coincidence that a coin fits the screw.

I have just found my long shafted phillips screwdriver on the bedroom floor where someone had borrowed it, its used for deeply recessed screws with small access holes, not just to take the guard off a fan to clean it.. hmmmph, plus put it back when you finish.

I appear to have an amazing and very magic tool/model box .. it seems whatever I put into it .. scalpel , paint brush,clamp . etc. I turn away , then come back to it .... It's gone !!
Rooting around never seems to find what I'm looking for;  I then have to make do with something else because the glue or paint is drying ..job gets finished and amazingly what I'm looking for turns up again !!!
 
maybe there is a troll or something living in the bottom of the box...... I saw them on Harry Potter once ..

funny you should ask that question.I have 5 of them! I can normally find one or two of them.I bought all but the first after "mis laying" them,and then soon after finding them.I now have another stanley type which folds and I can keep in my pocket,but not when I go out as it is now an offence to carry a blade.now where did I put that red one?....... Ooooh,there is my chuck key,it must have fallen out of the hole in my pocket where my stanley knife should be.....

Ray, can you look for my batteries while you're at it please?

I've got two lipo packs from planes somewhere, plus a large brushless motor that was going to go into a 1/6th scale SE5A.  I think I put them somewhere "safe"  >>:-(

I used to blame my son for everything that went missing, until he left home and then as my wife says "there's only you that goes into the shed!"

When you find that safe place let me know... I think my AA battery charger is there as well

I'm confused, is that Stan Laurel talking to himself or to Oliver Hardy?  %)
