Here is my terraced abode for some feathered critturs.

I'm hoping some posh birds move in the Spring..

If you are hoping for blue tits, I think you may need to up the residences from a terrace to detached, with some degree of their own land. Blue tits can be territorial, particularly during the breeding season.

Gotta ask why you have it.
Use it for condoms? S/he will surely swoon as you flash the subtle branding?
Or wonder if that's a pen you've just got out?

It’s a long story, which I am almost certain that no one would be interested.

And I own neither.

Not sure what I have. I do have a paper knife made of Teak which came off HMS Ajax of Battle of the river plate fame.
If that counts?

Those metal flasks are a thing of beauty though, so you get a free pass on those surely. I always feel they should be carrying dinosaur DNA or atomic material.

I am always in awe of flasks and the way they keep hot things hot, and cold things cold. Amazing. Do you know what I keep in mine? A cup of tea and a choc ice.

OH has a fancy bean to cup coffee machine but I don't count that as pretentious as he uses it every day.

A Range Rover 5.0 P565 SVAutobiography LWB 4dr to drive kids half a mile to school. Would this count?

It does indeed count!

That said, I'm surprised it gets as far as school without breaking down.

I have blue, coal and great tits, plus two other more mundane nesting boxes. Hopefully, something will like at least one of them!
I know what you mean re territorial whilst nesting.

Was HMS Ajax made of teak?

I fell in love with the Stanley when I saw Humphrey Bogart use one. He was playing Philip Marlow doing an all night stake-out in his Willys sedan, or maybe a Chrysler Airflow. I had a Stanley for many years, but rarely used it -too heavy for a cyclist!

A Park Tool Pizza Cutter, the best pizza cutter on the planet.

A Hope Technology bottle opener - a gloriously CNC'ed piece of stainless steel.


It's all bike related, so not pretentious.

No only the posh bits

Was HMS Ajax made of teak?

Thats a mis type. It was made of steak, and sank when the Kriegsmarine attacked it with a shark.
