Personally i'm torn between the classic Stirrup Pump


http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/Images/Stirrup_pump.jpg


and the Garden Flame Thrower.


http://www.grizzlycentral.com/forum/attachments/great-outdoors/6145d1248574752-what-coolest-tool-you-have-flamethrower09.jpg


I'm not sure which i'd rather own, just for the sake-of-owning-one.


( I think the flamethrower is edging it - tho in my dream i'm floating down lordship lane in a canoe during a flood, I see that well know Dub-Duo bobbing along in their silly truck but they've snagged them selves on a lampost outside the ED Deli. The not bald one is trying to fish a soggy loaf out of the flood water with a colander on a stick, he panics and tries to hide under the damp tonneau cover. But too late, I pull the Garden-Flame-Thrower up and pump the trigger - and a 40ft flame licks across the water, torching the sound system and truck into dust. And as I float by the not bald one & the nearly bald one bob in the murky water - eyes blinking, smarting from the heat - all in slow mo.

"Why" they mouth


"Why not, it's my dream" I mouth back, giving the trigger one last blast & setting the hanging basket on the lampost alight..)

My tool of choice is a big feck-off cleaver that I use for almost all cutting in the kitchen, I'll post a photo later.

I swear by the mean Mother, which has chopped and peeled its way through many a beast and vegetable, and also the odd finger. Still sharp after 15 years. Bought in NE Thailand.

Also cuts Japanese knotweed and carpet underlay.

how do you sharpen it?

C'mon PR - that's not a tool. Someting to fix the bike perhaps?


Anyway, I'd nominate two things. First, a polishing mitt - keeps shoes shinier than ever before:

And then something I desire - an adze. It's like a curved axe used for hollowing out wood. You can make a bowl or a canoe.

You're a genius David


That's the canoe in my dream surely.


(watch out the pesky dub-duo, dreams can come true!)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
