    Default What other uses can I find for a Domino?

    After all these months of watching the wonders of the domino, I have started to think I'm going to need one, and SOON.

    Now my beloved isn't one to stand in the way of me obtaining stuff like this normally, but we live in strange times.

    The Home of the Biting Midge is suffering from those "it's five years since the renovation" blues, and she's started to notice a few jobs aren't quite finished yet, and I seem to be off starting more things not to finish in a few years time! In thirty-three years she's never noticed before!

    To make matters worse, our eldest (and last) unmarried daughter plans to tie the knot HERE, in August, so there's heaps of new stuff and maintenance to do.

    What I need is assistiance in dreaming up a list of reasons to buy one NOW!

    So far, I've tried:

    1) I can't tighten the bathroom towel rails because I'd have to buy an allen key, and it's exactly the same size as the one that comes free with the Domino.

    2) No we'll have to wait for the mirror frame in the bathroom mirror till I can use a domino on the mitres.

    3) Hmm the lawn needs aerating... I wonder how the domino would go doing that?

    4) Yes I know I've got to finish YOUR canoe, but those little dominos make ideal epoxy mixing sticks....

    5) If only I had one more systainer, I'd be able to tidy the shed and you wouldn't trip on your way to the car.

    So come on chaps (and chapesses) what more can a bloke do?

    Something usefully related to wedding dresses would do the trick I'm sure!

    Cheers,

    P (who probably won't have time to use a new domino till 2008 anyway, but needs to start early!)

    Midge,

    Just do it. There will be some temporary pain when your credit card needs replenishing with funds; but the joy of being able to build stuff quickly will soon preDOMINate.

    Forget about the allen key; you only get a small spanner free when you buy a Domino.

    1) you were suppose to be building a couple rockers?

    2) I can borrow it if you have one so as to see what all the fuss is about?

    3) Can you put a small brush on the end of it and use it as a tooth brush?
