Have you never invested in a fairly specialised tool of some sort for a once-off job then thought that was fun, I'd like to do more of that? :-) I once ended up cutting more wood than I would ever need when a mate lent me a bench saw!! So satisfying!! :-) Reply to this message | Report message

>>Have you never invested in a fairly specialised tool of some sort for a once-off job then thought that was fun, I'd like to do more of that? Oh yes. And not even just when I first buy it, quite often into the future. I pick up a pressure washer, chainsaw, paintsprayer etc. and the children, cats and neighbours all leave. When all you've got in your hand is a hammer then everything looks like a nail holds true for most tools. Reply to this message | Report message

A couple of weeks ago I bought 6 cans of expanding foam and a gun to fill various voids in the new house. Surprised how addictive it was. Reply to this message | Report message

Weed burners are like that. Useless for getting rid of weeds, but the thrill of scorching or setting fire to stuff with that hissing blue flame is so satisfying. Reply to this message | Report message

Some years ago my neighbour got so addicted to burning weeds, he set fire to our beech hedge. I was busy under a car pretending I knew what I was doing when I became aware of a smell of burning vegetation. Neighbour was trying to put out the fire on his side with a watering can and a bucket and losing ground, mainly because the weed burner was lying on its side, still alight. A section of my side was burning merrily. My hose pipe (and utter heroism) saved the day! Tool addiction can be dangerous. ;) Reply to this message | Report message

>> And very effective at disabling a car of anyone who annoys you (squirt it up >> the tailpipe). Hell yes that hadn't occurred to me...that would be devastatingly effective, impossible to deal with if you can't get at it. It's actually quite hard to control the stuff anyway, obviously it expands as you dispense it and you think that's it - then you come back the following day to find it's expanded quite a lot more and you've actually used far too much. I've still got two cans left so nobody had better upset me. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Have they got to the root of it yet? It's been difficult, the evidence has been disappearing at a rate of knots. But if it does go to court, at least there should be something to put before the bench. If it leads to a custodial sentence, he may have to be wary of the screws. I should really stop now I suppose?
