It's a bit more complicated than that...
...think they know about stuff, and speak authoritatively on stuff, that they have no knowledge of?
Let's face it - if they didn't, this place would be much less fun.

Insist on trying to use an umbrella in gale force winds?:wacko:


That suits me fine. When they dump the carcass in a bin, I hoik it out and make stuff from the fabric... ;)

[QUOTE 2211986, member: 259"]What a good idea.[/quote]

We thought so. To be fair, NT does most of the actual sewing, as he has an industrial electric Singer. A couple of weeks ago we prototyped a duffel bag made from a golf umbrella - they are vast, and seemingly as prone to breaking as the little compact jobs...

We also use the material as lining for the inner tube bags, and I'm working on a couple of decorative ideas...

Maker of Things
....wear a duffle coat with the hood pulled up and then ride their bike from the pavement into a stream of traffic and make no attempt to look to see if it is clear and safe to join the road?

....walk along a 12' wide pavement with one foot on the kerb and the other in the gutter, swerving in and out of the road, while talking on their mobiles?

....leave my driveway gate open?
