A pleasure Bob, if you're using properly spherical ammo, the bands last for ages :) I just came across this wee booklet while reorganising my book shelves, and thought it might be useful in post-apocalypse Jersey! :D When there was the discussion about accents Bob, I'd forgotten you lived in Jersey! :D Love that accent :) I'll put this slim volume in the mail with a couple of band sets :D PM me if I can include anything else ;) :thumbsup:

Thanks, I only remember pence from when I was a kid. 50p was big money. 👍

It's sad.😟 I can buy everything except the slings and bb guns. Kids can't have any fun anymore.

We can buy these to launch eggs, tomatoes, apples, etc.😃View attachment 2373848

LOL! :D I was looking at some exercise bands today, and thinking they'd make one heck of a slingshot! :D :thumbsup:

A shame it was made in Japan, rather than the US, or it'd have been a real milestone :cool: :thumbsup:

For sure! In pre-decimal times, a Half Crown was worth a quarter of that. When my brother was a toddler, he went to the post office with my mother, and stood on a 10 Shilling note (equivalent to the post-decimalisation 50p). It didn't belong to anyone, so my mother handed it in at the counter. They sent the note to the police, and 3 months later, as nobody had claimed it, my folks got it. It wasn't quite like winning the lottery, but it was still pretty noteworthy (excuse the pun) :) :thumbsup:

That's good to know Mitch, TEW are a pretty professional outfit, compared to Wright's for example, and I imagine they outsource to a proper HT firm :thumbsup:

It's the same with the Lansky isn't? That's pretty poor :( I know what you mean brother, sometimes old and simple are the best :) Talking of which, I just spoke to Tool Man! 🤣 🤣 :thumbsup:

I was telling him about my weekend. Yesterday, I was moving a lot of books and DVDs around, and it left me feeling pretty thirsty. I went to the fridge to get a bottle of water, and glugged down a third of the bottle, before realising it was actually some home-distilled Slivovitz, I'd been given by one of the Tool Stall regulars! :eek: 🤣

Thanks pal, it was a great gift, thank you for seeking it out for me :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D I once saw some of the UFO and Thunderbirds puppets and vehicles Jer. They were much bigger than I had realised, standard about 3ft high :thumbsup:

Hope you've been practicing Bob! 🤣 Tell us more about that 'Prototype' stamp please :cool: Great pic :thumbsup:

Beautiful photo of that lovely old Lamb Dwight :) :thumbsup:

It's been a pretty miserable day here, gloomy skies, and rain, throughout :( I called in at Charlie's, and then headed into town with multiple missions ;) Unfortunately, the Tunisian guy who runs the food stall in the market has not returned from his hols yet, so I had falafel from the Turkish bakery instead :)

I'm back at Grumble Towers now, and having what I think was described as a Biscoff Cheesecake Brownie with a nice cup of Yorkshire ;) :thumbsup:

Jack,
The best way I can review a knife. Is would I have another or recommend it & the TEW Lambsfoot I would as it's also comfortable in the hand.
Yeah I think it's easy to get obsessed with the perfect edge & the next gizmo🙄

😳that bottle of water would have been a shock.

Bob
You are not alone, commercial slingshots are illegal here too. Kids can make a backyard job that's about it.

When I was about 11 years old we lived in California for a couple of years. One time we went to the beach I found a money clip buried in the sand. It had fifty dollars in it. 😮 My dad turned it in to the lifeguard station. A while later probably a month or so no one had claimed it and so I got to keep it. 👍

I bought a sweet skateboard with the new fancy sealed bearings and urethane wheels 😁 I still have a scar on my knee from that purchase 🤣

You can't win 'em all Steve :D Brilliant tale! :) :thumbsup:

I've handed in 2 wallets, and returned a third to the owner, as his business card was inside. I didn't even get a thank you! :eek: The worst was when I found a new smartphone, and returned it to the guy's house. He took it off me, and closed the door in my face! :oops: He lived at the bottom of my street, and many years later, I was introduced to him by another neighbour at a local event. I told her, and everyone else there, how he'd behaved. He said he couldn't remember! :oops:
 
I've been at a meeting at church learning to edit our website. I didn't have enough confidence in my laptop to want to schlep it over, so I took notes and decorated the home page from my desktop when I got back. My colleagues will know I was there.

Though I used a lot of restraint.
