Thanks Billy

Hmm, think I'll take your word for that, I suppose you could rub the two wooden bits together so that they would ignite & use them to sterilise the metal bit, but then you would need something else small enough to make sure you didn't scoop out the good bit...

A pair of chop sticks perhaps, or even cocktail sticks, but nobody has suggested them yet...

I'm with you there Lottie - Billy's post is green. Only the original post though, not your quote.

Badger Sir - what's Billy done now???

It's a particularly green tip. If all frontal keyhole lobotomies were carried out using recycled paperclips, just think how much metal we would save on scalpels and cranial drilling equipment and so on. Reduce reuse recycle.

If you bend one side back so the two L-shaped bits are in a straight line you could make a great see-saw for baby voles or 1:72 scale figurines.

Do you clamp them all up at once, or take them in turn?

Maybe we could use a few to attach to Queensland and squeeze out the water! Or hang it up to dry?

haha! yep maybe Very Happy

here is a legit idea - using half pegs and a glue gun make a tea-pot stand/plate to protect the counter

I think someone wacky somewhere did the same kind of thing but as a hat. If not, you could! Very Happy

Cut a small piece of foam padding & clip it onto trousers on a coat hanger & they don't fall off when being taken from one place to another in a suit cover, or have a clothes peg mark...

by Wilhelm Von Rhomboid 24th January 2011, 5:25 pm

with small cardboard blades attached to the ends of the metal clip, and a sindle through the middle you could make a tiny wind turbine.

Grand total of 34 in total, in a month, that sets the standard...

Just thought of another one, the smaller pegs that you can get are good for keeping wool ends together when you are knitting in stripes etc.
