I machined up a two cylinder version of one of these some decades ago. Probably in the shed somewhere, not that anyone cares.

Picture this: an old grandfatherly guy proudly showing his son a garage filled till the roof with collected 'valuables' and he says "One day, son, all this will be yours."  |

I have belatedly noticed the "for boys" bit in the heading.
This blatant lack of inclusivity is simply appalling. Are the gender equality commissars sleeping on the job or what.?

Little boys and big boys and often little girls and big girls knew about Handicrafts for Boys and partook in such group activities.   No wucking forries about all that gender crap.  |

My wife told me I should be more in touch with my feminine side.
So I crashed the car, and then ignored her for 3 days.

You won't get many responses today oldie, it's Sunday and they're all too busy weeding the garden and polishing the pebbledash.

Don't worry, even if you took a bath first I wouldn't let you. I'm more likely to slam you with my handbag, properly prepared for just such occasions, with an iron inside that is.  |
