Boban my lawyer friend, lets get honest here. It is your first post and the numbers do not add up already. What happened to the missing one?



Sorry.

You see my non lawyer friend, you did not read your brief before asking the question. I offered to purchase one pen a few posts earlier..... so 10+1=11

*G* trust a lawyer to know all the ins and outs. Boban I thought you would say in reply, "the extra is for outgoings"

This is a pro bono affair my friend.

When I worked at Wonderland as a schoolkid, we had groups of these kids come in. To say I loved being around them was an understatement. Thats probably the experience of most people I'd imagine given whats happening here. I'm hoping that we could knock over $10,000 as a group. I'm aiming at raising $1000 for my part and think that others will probably do the same.

Lets see if Im right.

I know I know. Was just stirring please don't sue me. Oops I did it again.

I got a PM the other day from Russell at Pen Turners Paradise asking if I would like any Dymondwood pen blanks for the fundraiser and some pen boxes, you know the answer to that question dont you.

Today he sent me another PM saying there on there way,but had got a bit carried away and there was a bit more sent than he had said ( Russell sounds like me ).

I havent had a play with dymonwood pen blanks before so look forward to getting them to have a play. Photos will be posted when I get them of course.

A big Thankyou to Pen Turners Paradise for there donation

have a look at there site http://penturnersparadise.com/catalo...ain_page=index

Cheers Ian

I haven't looked there before, I wish that he had a few more pics of the pen kits. Some of the ones I hadn't heard of before.

I don't want to order without seeing the kits though...

Might I introduce to you the mighty "King Changa NRL tipping competition".

The box is made of maple and hoop pine ply. Finished with the usual wipe-on poly and ubeaut wax.

Let’s hope that the money will start coming in.

Wongo (who came second for the past 3 years and quite frankly he is sick of being second best. And surprise surprise the bastxxx who won the last 2 years just happened to be the one who kept the score. )

See thats why you need two people to check these things so there is some accountablility.

Ian - Koto Ash (Pterygota Macrocarpa) comes from Ghana and is similar to Ramin or Silverash. We used to sell a lot of it for use as the blocks used to mount rubber stamps. Sometimes has a wavy grain pattern that reminds me of snake skin, comes up nicely with a oil finish or poly.

Last year I offered to develop an internal website so we could submit the tipping online. The king said no because it would take away all the fun.

I was so close to having the whole database to myself.

UPDATE table_score SET user_score = user_score + 20 WHERE user_name = ‘Wongo’

if someone wants to send me 5 pens ( +1 for me made from Huon please) I will sell here at "the Other Carrier" for charity at I hope $50 a pop.

PM me....

IF user_score where user_name = 'Wongo' LT user_score where user_name NE 'Wongo"
UPDATE table_score SET user_score = user_score + 20 WHERE user_name = ‘Wongo’
ELSE user_score where user_name NE 'Wongo' = user_score where user_name = 'Wongo" + 20

I had a visit from Captain Chaos last night who brought over the first of his pens up as promised.

Thanks once again Barry, and it was good to meet you, good onya mate.

Im just off to the school for the first of our fundraiser meetings, as long as they show up

Will fill you all in when I know some more.

Cheers Ian
