It included this which, incredibly, I own:



And the coup de grace it lead me to this which I've just ordered from Amazon:

Paraffin - check
Petrol - check
Potassium nitrate - check
Cellulose nitrate ping pong balls - check
Naptha - check
Blow lamps - check
Flame thrower - check
Secret ingredients - check

I bet there's isn't much that I haven't done but loads that's worthy of revisiting.

One of them "why cats paint" is pants wettingly funny.
You are not quite sure if it's true or satire till quite a long way in.

Also, bizarrely, a canvas print of Paul Ross and a cardboard cutout of David Cameron...
