I am looking for stencil making machines made by "Ideal Stencil Machine Co", in good working order. They are reasonably readily available in USA, but as rare as rocking horse shit in Europe.
I'm looking at the ones currently on reBay.com, but if you come across one elsewhere, I'd appreciate a nudge.
I have none at the moment, they come in a number of different sizes and am looking for 2 or 3….

Shameless Plug…
27 days to go!
I am doing a 3-mile (2.5 nautical miles) swim across the Solent to support the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust.
Please help me reach my target of £5,000 – sponsor me here (No contribution is too small)!
We are still putting USD5 from every sale over USD200 into the pot, so if you'd prefer to contribute by spending, that's alright by us too…...

Such is my loathing for my day job that I bought this card in the vain hope that one day I can use it.

fell a total of 7 feet off of a ladder into the street today whilst trimming my grandparent's tree. got up, checked that my phone was not broken, shook my fingers and finished the job. what doesn't kill you only makes you happy that you were wearing iron heart!

Don't know what's better news. Still sober, sold my first policy today for a healthy commision, and the wife, who supposedly wants a divorce, referred to me by her pet name for me 3 times in a conversation on the phone. Great day and I got to really help a nice elderly lady

Even if the timing makes it valid, I still think this sets a strange precedent. Are alcoholics with liver failure going to start bringing cases against liquor and beer companies? Surely their advertising has remained more agressive and deceptive for longer than tobacco. RJR has billions to burn, so even if they were forced to pay the whole penalty it would be sort of symbolic–but I think personal responsibility is a huge thing to ignore, even when we're talking about addiction.
Personal responsibility for your own behavior ? Not in the U.S. Puzzle Factory. That train left the station long ago.

Personal responsibility still exists in the American legal system, as does corporate responsibility. Tobacco companies spent decades and billions to convince people that their product was safe when they knew that it wasn't.
People make choices with the information that's available, and when that information is deliberately misleading, they make bad choices.

When I went out with the Tuck Shop Boys for dinner in Singapore, James from @obbigood said, "once upon a time people used to say grace, now they take photos of their food"…...

Just reading through that made me a bit depressed about society in general. I especially hate it when I see kids out with their families and they have their heads down looking at their phones all night.
And yes, I am aware I sound like an old man.

Fully agree. My step sister took us out for lunch the other day and my step dads grandson just sat there the whole time looking like a miserable little c*nt playing with his phone. I was not impressed. The only time he engaged in conversation was when he thought he was going to be bought a new pair of football boots…

My three year old daughter has started randomly announcing, "I'm a genius."
She does not lack for confidence.
