Speaking of constables, I just watched Hot Fuzz- what a great movie!   :grin:

Not that I believe any of it any more than I believe Police Academy or Copland, but was a good ride nonetheless!

I have simply got to get me an authentic Bobby helmet one of these days...

Hey I know this is off topic, but hey Micky I see from your signature line that you like the group garbage? I have all thier albums up to beautiful garbage, great band but have not heard much from them lately. Checked out some info and it seems they still got some stuff out there, mainly a compliation cd that has a collection of thier songs or something...called perfect garbage.

We had a nice discussion about music in the Break Room last week.  Micky talked about Garbage all the way through it, and I must admit, I am really quite taken with them now that I am paying closer attention to them!

another garbage fan here, too!
i always remember the first time hearing shirley and the boys was when i spent 9 long weeks in north dakota. i kept hearing "only happy when it rains" on an indie radio channel and always made fun of the guys in the record stores asking them "do you sell garbage?" since i am 2m tall (6''7' i think) they behaved ;-)

did i miss someone saying that they edc two saks like i am? i love to have what is necessary around (farmer edc in left front pocket) but always have the swiss champ ( cyber tool 41) in my jacket within reach. this way i don't have to worry about the bulk and probably won't find me in a situation where i am under-sak-ed. i always need a pair of pliers around.

I think most of us carry at LEAST 2 saks or multi's, otherwise your other hand just gets lonely ;D

I,ll add you name to the ever increasing garbage fan list! :)

I'd start a Garbage Tool Forum, but it would get filled with Chinese tools and fights would break out between Garbage and Tool fans, each insisting theirs is the best band!

I was going to respond with... " I like Tool "  but then I realized that statement could be taken a few different ways...

Welcome to the forum jock1  ;D  Great choice in buying both the Swisschamp and the swisstool  :cheers: At work  ( I work in a double glazing factory  :( ) I carry a Swisstool and a Swisschamp . I find the Swisschamp great for first aid , the tweezers , pin and magnifying glass is great for spinters . As for our UK laws on the Swisstool I suppose it depends on where you live , where you go and what excuse you have for carrying it .If your a young guy who wears baseball caps and hoodys then its probably not a good idea but if your a slightly overweight 35 year old who often has a one or both my daughters and my wife in tow I cant see any reason to be stopped and searched .Also the Swisstool doesnt look very threatening. I'm not saying I think you should carry it but more do you need to carry it ? Both MickyD and myself get on great with them. You wont be dissapointed with the Swisschamp though , I would never part with mine .

As an actual old guy, let me weigh in on this.  In general, I have always been in good but not peak condition most of my life, probably about typical, few bad habits.  Fortified with nothing special, I sailed through the 30s without noticing any slowdowns compared to my 20s.  The descent began in the early 50s, slowly gathering speed on the tobaggan ride to senility.  So don't worry, be happy.  You've got miles to go.

My late teen years were rough and left me with a broken knee and lifelong problems with it.  My 20's weren't much better and left me with a dislocated elbow that still acts up once in a while and a steel plate and 8 pins in my foot, along with a generous helping of post traumatic arthritis which is going to get the joint fused likely before I hit my 40's.

I guess I could say that life has kinda been downhill for me from about 15... but what a freakin ride!  :D

I havent done too bad when I think about it , apart from cancer in my twentys ( that was a bit of a nightmare  :( ) I've been pretty lucky although I dont feel quite as energetic as I used to but I'm putting that down to too many pies and beer  :cheers: . Plus I've given up smoking which I should have done a long time ago .
