    [quote=tashammer]Thanks Cliff :-) Shame about the others missing out though, smirk, snigger and neener, neener. Anyway, just think with all the temperature change, then the mainland will be too hot too live, the sea levels will rise and flood most of the mainland, leaving a a few bits where you can burrow. Nice people, like Cliff, for instance, will be allowed to come and live in Tasmania and use the electricity generated by our hydro electric scheme which will, unfortunately, have no water in its storages due to the climate change - but who could have seen that happening, cough! There will be no politicians in Tasmania as they will have been eaten as food. After they have been puked up as food poisoning they will be used to drug fish. Unfortunately all the fish stocks would have been depleted even more by the excess fresh water entering the salt water oceans and seas. Mean time, Cliff will be over here and we will be enjoying a meal with him. After we have eaten him i will use the bones to make furniture and cut those bones up with my brand new fine Japanese hand saws. It would would seem most appropriate to cut his hands off first - but respectfully, of course. Oh we won't be able to use the tools on wood as the vicious and voracious bush fires would have destroyed all the vegetation. Happy days ahead, hey? This will all happen after my grandchildren have passed on without having children. (i wouldn't want this tale to be too gloomy now, would i?). :D P.S. If there is one thing i like, it's reading the ages of some of you. It's wonderful. Some of you are really, really old, ancient and battered. It's like being close to an old huon pine and thinking, "Gee, that has been there since time began". Tell you what though, the distance between 57 and 76 seems like nothing at all - age at this time seems ageless for us "oldies", but infinitely young for the those teens and twenties who feel like they will live forever but who don't know the treasure that awaits being ageless. PPS Please tell me how to get paras.[/quote]

    Thank you for caring fellers. lolololololol. i had been reading some stuff about climate change and then i waxed all creative. :D Oh, about getting paragraphs. I do press the enter key at the end of the para but it all is clumped together anyway. If i try hitting the enter key twice then it comes up as if i had pressed the space bar twice.

    Hey Dingo

    We hear so much over in the East about how the economy in the West is booming, esp in mining etc and you blokes are carrying is etc.....

    Soooooo..... come on.....a bloke who has to go out to mines all the time should be rolling in the stuff. Help young Brendan out, unfurl that wad of fresh bills they gave you last time yu were at the mine and send one yellow, one orange and one blue to the poor lad and get [B]three bloody good saws.[/B]

    I got mine yesterday and tested the edge on some wood last night (unlike Skew I managed not to test it on meat first!!!).

    Cuts through Studley's hardwood like butter and straight.

    So do yourself a favour - don't worry about not getting them for free; just get 'em for the best price around and enjoy.

    Jeremy

    PS I know you already have some Jap saws, but these are too good a bargain to miss out on and since when did the fact you have a tool mean you can't buy another?

    PPS Welcome back, we missed you while the 'puter was keeping you silent
    Cheers

    If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly

    I will make it hurt somemore - I am an Irish Pom as well, smirk, smirk, not even born here.

    But, and it's a nice but. If you clean up all the sand in WA and sweep it all into the sea before next week end i will let you look at the saws one day.

    There, isn't that nice? So be a good lad and start sweeping.

    A tip, sweep north and the earths spin will fling more sand away. But be safe and wear something to protect your breathing, maybe a used pie bag might do. icon10.gif :-)

    Congradulations Tashammer,

    Just got back from Japan today and found out my lost is your gain. Enjoy your prize.

    Cheers

    Got 'em! Touched them, patted them, made them go twang, touched the teeth and noted how sharp they were. Have them sitting on the dining table to i get to look at them as i go past.

    Also got a Dyson clone vacuum cleaner - very quiet, works well, lucky i had another stainless steel tube - all these cleaners are made for short people.

    Got a nice new little soldering iron as well.

    The Postal Folks have been good to me today.

    The saws look very good. I wonder, does getting used to the pull action take a bit of getting used to or is it easy to adapt?

    Ah well, if i find that i just can't adapt due to shakey hands and arms then i could always give them away. Maybe the neighbour but he tends to wreck stuff.

    Someone close by oughta buy Brendan a milk shake for his kindness.

    Thanks again Brendan.
