    One of the most interesting and diverse days in the hobby, £80K of platinum, a Lambo Aventador and a veggie curry with Mr Shron.

      Yet to find any platinum in our models but the location we were at (a jewellery manufacturer) had some fantastic tech which could have a bearing on the future of the hobby. The Aventador has nothing at all to do with the hobby but the stuff discussed over a curry has. The curry was the cheapest luxury from the day.

    Prime numbers of food products in a packet; aside from being odd by definition it's flippin' inconvenient.

      The number 2 is both even and a prime number? Otherwise tend to agree.

    reduced the life cycle of Yellow Pages to the optimum today by taking it of the delivery bloke and putting it in the recycle bin at the end of the drive which was collected 5 mins later by the binmen. Job done.

      Indeed - in fact the "Schindler's Lift" comment comes from my time working in Poland, where pretty much all of the hotels in Warsaw have Schindler elevators.

    Seen in a news report; "Police said they did not know if they were investigating what happened".
