Thread: A True Honour

The stuff people do - is amazing. Good on them.

I guess a lot of us could be on that road. I have seen some peoples faces glaze over when I get enthused about some hand tool or lump of wood. I then class them as dull.

Hard to see how a collector of bladed tools could be "dull".

...

See what I did there?

You might have to revise your saw storage plans - drawers just don't cut it, it seems

Well I have a copy of Simon Barley's fine book.
Highly recommended!

it's the traffic cone guy that does it for me. I am a compulsive collector by nature, but can't see how any one could get excited by those.

I wonder if there's anything ex-Madonna in that lot?

I agree, was thinking the same as I went through the list.

You'll have to bring it over so I can have a look
I promise not to tear out any pages as some people do to recipes in magazines in doctor waiting areas ... lol

I had to go back and look at that one.

Traffic cones. I expected to see this spaced out cool-looking dude driving a convertible.

No, that one is difficult to come at.

Simon barley on the other hand.......does anybody know if you can legally adopt a father?

Is he a member of this site and if not why not.

What a strange definition of 'dull'. Surely a dull person lives a perfectly normal life, but doesn't have the World's Largest Traffic Cone Collection?
Can you imagine his neighbours?
"He's dull, that bloke with the traffic cones."
"Oh, what do you do that's interesting?" "
"Well, I, umm."

I think you're thinking of jaffle irons. Or maybe that was lady GaGa.
Anyway the whole list gave me a good laugh. I'll never look at roadworks in the same way again. Loved it.
