Eel derivatives. Short eels, long eels, puts, calls - all available online from the Bank of Sargasso Sea
I might add the Bank of Sargasso Sea was not affected by the credit crunch as it did not get exposure to the sub prime mortgage market. No big bank bonus payouts neither. It is well safe! I have now had time to do a stock check, and have 5 spacesavers ready for shipping to interested parties.
I heard about a new eel based trading option - CFDs, or Congers For Difference... It was a friend in Morayshire who told me.
Wind your neck in, you! I`m currently developing the latest scene-footwear-in-car-picture idea... Mossy, patina-ed Docs anyone? As you were...
I don't know about eels, but every puddle in my garden seems to be full of leeches. Some of the ugly buggers are green. Yuk! If you put your finger in the pool they swim like mad for it. Big boots and thick leather gloves are the order of the day.
Stu - DM's covered in moss and paint are not "scene" enough for Edition. Unless you state that they're eBay rare and price hem accordingly. I've litterally just had a brainwave though - instead of using screws in the trainers and tyres, what about screw in football boot studs?
You clearly haven't considered the effect on ride comfort or how long the plastic studs will last and how much grip they'll offer when you hit tarmac. Please guys leave the thinking to me
If we left the thinking to you y'd still have little bits in yer cereal. Now face facts and get some barbed wire on the go.
I threw a few quid at a CFD contract, and ended up with a squid by close of play today. Fairly unimpressed with that, so I threw it back in - I'll see what washes up tomorrow. Any road, it's trying to snow again - how's the prototype doing?
Erm, I sort of hit a bit of a problem, I wasn't too sure how thick a tyre was so may have accidently drilled the pilot holes a little too deep so the tyre is, like me, slightly deflated. On a brighter note I will carry on and fit the studs (screws) today and am hoping to reinflate the finished item with Tyreweld
Schoolboy error there Gaz! That mistake has been made before though, as this is how they came up with the "Denovo Runflat Tyres" that used to be fitted to the old Minis back in the day! What was your old man up to 30 years ago? It may be a hereditry thing brought on by the snow!
UPDATE: Now I'm really p***ed off, purely for research purposes I decided to try EZ Pete's suggestion of using nails instead of screws. Now unfortunatley I don't have a vice large enough to securely hold a tyre so decided that the easiest method of holding the tyre would be to grip it between my knees, this appeared to work very well, until it came to installing the nails. Gripping the tyre between my knees I held a nail in place and proceeded to give it a hefty old wack with a claw hammer, now what I hadn't taken into account was Mr Newton's 3rd law and the elasticity of a tyre which I now know is sufficient to deflect, I would estimate, 90% of the force acting on it and repell it in almost exactly the opposite direction. Now what do you suppose was the first solid(ish) object directly in the path of the deflected hammer blow? I'll tell you, it was my testicles[:^(] Mrs Gaz was less than sympathetic & resoloutely refused to render first aid in the form of liberal application of baby oil onto the affected region, so I sit here now, in a state of extreme discomfort with a bag of frozen peas between my legs wondering why I even considered listening the Pete. Thank you, update concluded
Please forgive me if I don't laugh, the swelling appears to have cut off the blood supply to my sense of humour
Much as I detest catchy jingles in advertisements, I am just now minded of "Ba-da, ba, ba-ba, I'm lovin' it"... You already had all the children you want, right?
