Have a look-see if there's a screw holding the handles to the pan. There invariably is.

My pencil case (which always travels with me) has my 'nice pen' (unfortunately at the moment it is without ink and I haven't got round to buying a new cartridge), two 2B pencils, rubber, sharpener, board pen, screwdriver (now!) and a biro. Without it, I would be unable to compose/mark/teach at a moment's notice (not that I need a board pen, understand! I can give up any time!)

Alas! Poor tinners! I knew him (virtually) oratorio.
I'm still waiting for Pim's definition of 'silly' as it relates to Browning.
Maybe that's what he's going to shoot you with. That is a kind of gun isn't it? An Browning Automatic or something... [too many of the 'wrong sort of books']. Good grief. What is this person (floor above) listening to? It sounds like Dire Straits or something equally of its time. I'm sure we can find enough Laurel and Hardy pictures to distract Pim (and Bom if necessary) or at least enough L&H impersonators to act as human shields until you make a hasty yet stylish retreat from the Poetry Appreciation thread.

Or else someone's army of little green minions (I don't want to point fingers or anything ... ).

I'm off to see the dentist!
And then to work.

Let's hope he's not a Tin Man. White fillings look so much better.

That's funny - I had exactly the same thought before I'd scrolled down to George's post!

And a heart, of course.

(Wonder if hh's dentist knows he's being discussed on a messageboard.)

Let's hear it for 'em!

Cheers, martle.
