    So, on hammers. Who here thinks he owns the most expensive hammer? Sledge and trim hammers excluded. I'm talking framing hammers/framing hatchets.
    And while we're here, how heavy a hammer do you swing?

    Hammers are of limited interest to most people, even men, can't we get back to the booze and women ? The two most important things in a man's life.

    Just about any kind of Speights lager is great.

    Drinking Fosters I'd imagine would be like drinking urinary excretions of the equine variety.

    But I also like Guinness, though since I've never been to Ireland I'll never know what the real stuff is like...

    And watch this sketch, 'Four Yorkshiremen', from Monty Python if you think you're tough these days...:

    Oh no, how did I miss that one; can you direct me to it, BienvenuJDC? I would accept that - 'a thread of threads'...sure why not.

    Yeah, for women! And I like Peter Gabriel's song 'Sledge Hammer'! There's a double meaning in that.

    14oz Stanley.

    I'm not really a tool guy, but I do like to use good quality tools.

    Knives, however, I like.

    I have a hand-crafted Buck which cost me $300 a few years back.

    Haha. I love seeing all these - I can recall watching them on tv when they were originally made.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."
