The Pencil thief

[artme]

I kept a pencil till it was an inch long. I'm so proud.

I've used those winding sharpeners too

Funny Bugga!!!

Wouldn't care to go halvies in them Ian, that way when the shed fairies strike they can carry them back and forth and we won't notice.

oz

happy to oz.

are you waiting for a PM Peter?

oz & ian I also had a request from another forum member by PM asking after the leads.
Here is what the pencil thief has left here, they are all 2mm...top to bottom

About ten H Staedtler
About ten F Staedtler
four & half 2H Staedtler
Six 2H Staedtler
and five & half unmarked, but about HB

I'm happy to send them, but I'm not sure what is fair to all three of you...?
Any thoughts....?
Any preferred leads?

Regards,
Peter

Have any of you guys ever listened to "the Blue collar Tour” - Jeff Foxworthy and friends - Deck talk, because it seems this thread could go that way.fficeffice" />>>

(tounge in cheek) mix em all together and send a "lucky dip" assortment of ten or eleven leads to each of us.

more seriously ...
send each of us 3 x F, 3 x H, 3 x 2H, 2 x HB, or thereabouts -- the old one for oz, one for ian, one for the other member approach
but maybe that's asking a bit too much

though I have a preference for the HBs and Fs, I'd be happy with any of the them, so if either of the others have a preference, I'd take what was left

I love clutch pencils - used 'em for years but those baskets have been around here too .

1/4 drive socket set - had to buy another, tin snips, the old man's bush saw - heaps of stuff, pens and pencils too although they mess with me I think coz I find the odd one occasionally when the kids are doing homework - not that that happens too often - sometimes they take 'em and leave them on the table by the phone.

I keep locking the doors and windows but it doesn't stop them.

Got me budgerigar'd. Maybe it's that bloke down the road - can't remember his name - just call him "CudIborrow"

I'm not too fussy one way or the other, the gremlins will get them anyway. Probably best to split them as Ian suggested.

The baskets have been back again overnight - took the car keys off the bed side table, opened the van, stuck the keys in the ignition and locked the door again .

Life really is a journey

I'm the 'other forum member' and I'm easy whichever way. I don't mind if they're H or F or anything.

Thanks!

[lightwood]

Ian, Richard and oz,
PM your addresses and I'll divide them up...

Reminds me of those maths puzzles. A man dies leaving his 72 sheep, 18 goats and 3 pigs to his 13 sons. How do they divide them equally without calling in the butcher?

[rhancock]

My leads arrived today - Thanks so much Peter!

[tea lady]

Some basket has stolen my purple flowery screw driver. I got it cos I could find it. AND hubby could find it, but it always came back for some reason. Gonna ruin his street cred or something. But now its GONE! :cry: Any of you guys seen it round?

Look for a flower fairy with a loose screw
