All of those cleaners, wipes, mouth washes, soaps, detergents etc etc. etc that kill 99% of household germs.

It's the other 1% of the little bastards that I want to get.

Asking for trouble if you use that design

Exactly . I'd hate to have to sit on one of wikipedia's spikey stools

It was the definition I was interested in.

A sawbuck is a definite type of "horse" Used for holding odd shaped logs whereas a saw horse is used as a trestle for cutting prepared timber.

If you really want to go back in history the "horse" got its name from copper smiths and leather workers who used it for securing work.

Some carvers also use a derivative.

And how many of those 'horses' were flat topped ?
None

[weisyboy]

the horses wouold been saw after holding down bits of leather and coper all day, and then being ridden home.

[Manuka Jock]

[weisyboy]

if ya want a jaw horse you turn it on its back.

None

All of them.

[Manuka Jock]

All of them.

Even the ones with the stitching vice on ? If they had the vice then they were work horses
If they did not have that then they were merely seats.
We are not discussing seats here.

[RETIRED]

They were still called horses.

We will always disagree so I see no sense in arguing over it.

What irritates me are those horrible plastic bubble packets that you can't get into. (There is a special tool you can buy at Bunnies to cut them open. Guess what type of packet the tool comes in?.... Correct!)

People who refer to everyone from the UK as 'Whinging Poms' and then proceed to whinge about everything.....

So you're whinging about people who whinge about whingers????

[pugwash]

I nearly forgot the three words I hate the most.

ROFL

I hate the bubble packed milk they give you on Qantas flights. They've been packed at atmospheric pressure so when you open them at 30000 feet the top is bulging and when you tear it off the milk sprays everywhere.

And while were bagging Qantas...theyve cut back on the crackers you get with your meal. You used to get 3 crackers and a big lump of cheese...now its two crackers and the same amount of cheese. You end up with cheese left over and no cracker to put it on....thats just unacceptable.

And the Qantas coffee?.....it tastes like the hosties have filtered it through their pantihose.
