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!)

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all.
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
