So, Alf...

Hmm, sounds cryptic - he mentions Records, so that would conclude that you are revising a Record tool.. which leads me to think you are making a new revolutionary Boat Anchor?? Do I get a prize? :lol: :lol:

No no no .... the doodah springs fron Denis' imagination...with a few tweaks....

Thousands of them are on a boat somewhere... and Alf hasn't seen 'em...

'Course, what fun would it be if Alf knew everything that was going on???

Cheers -

Rob

Well, what Rob isn't saying is that as soon as he saw the prototype he thought of added functionialities... Somehow it's as if the guy has been around tools for quite a while :shock: :lol: :lol:

Hi Denis -

Here you go:

BTW - there's a bunch more new "tetes-a-claque"'s...

For those french speakers out there - this is VERY Canadian eh? ... and some of the funniest stuff I've seen in years...

Thanks Rob, I kind of figured it out in the end (nothing like going outside for a cigarette to clear up the mind :lol: ), I did not know the historical reference, though... Learn something every day...

Their last clip was quite funny...

I don't often read this section, my work rarely allows me the time to use my hand tools as much as I would like, but occasionally it's nice to dip in.

AND WHAT DO I FIND !

Blatant underhandedness, deliberate baiting of Alf, with the intention of upping her posts.
I knew it was going on somewhere, but never thought, that you, the keepers of all that was good in this Forum could stoop so low.
Its despicable.

What do you think Alf :twisted:

So Rob / Alf, Is this one of the newbee's off the secret list

 

[Alf]

Yep.

Dom, you're an evil, evil man... [-X :lol:

Cheers, Alf

I saw one of those knocking round a remarkable auction, unnoticed and un commented on. Sadly, it was in a toolbox with some obviously valuable tools, so the box still went for big bucks.

Hi Paul -

As an antique, they go for $250-$1500 over here...

Top end is for the nickel plated, red japanned interior version.

[MikeW]

Yep.

Dom, you're an evil, evil man... [-X :lol:

Cheers, Alf

Yeah...but it appears to be working. :lol:

Cute pipper, Rob. It's grown on me. Heck, I could see the utility of a tad parger one that my club-shaped hands could hold. Cannot beat the simplicity of the design.

Take care, Mike

To get to the original point, if Alf is not going to celebrate this, we should do it for her. Alf should open a P.O. box and release the address. After which, we all should send her something to identify. Or just something to thank for the approximately 10 000 good answers she has given to us

But on the other hand, it might be a bit too much trouble to make her hire a truck for weekly post office visits so it's probably not too good idea anyway :wink:

[DomValente]

That would be doubly so would it?

 

[Alf]

That was going so well (twice) until the last bit. I don't mind the trouble, really I don't... O

Cheers, Alf

In the interest of fair play would it be possible for the moderators to keep at zero or hide Alf's thread counter until the big 10,000 is hit? Then some of the baiting and enticing might be reduced and things will come to a more natural conclusion. (And I might have a chance to win!!!!)

I second that motion, even though I have no vested interest in when the magic number will appear. That will let people do their business as usual...

Dunno, I've got my entry in as well, so I'm afraid folks, if we hid the number and then I "won", it might be open to a little criticism.... best to keep it out in the open methinks....
