Who would have thought a simple ruler could bring such satisfaction to his life! I guess it's where he did the draw.

Glad I wasn't in that conversation. I would have been forced to lie!

Unbelievable Terry, i lent a new electric saw to a neighbour, once, it came back all scratched, never again I learnt my lesson.
