My father is a collector. Not in the sense that he collects specific items of particular actual or sentimental value, he merely accumulates things. Things that have no particular use or function but occupy a rather large and unseemly amount of space! For most people this eccentricity would not be significant as the number of […]
The character Doc Wilson in the film State and Maine introduced the world to the ill-forged statement: “never trust a man in a bow tie”. This entirely baseless statement has since been embraced by all those who due to lack of ability are forced to wear regular neck ties or, worse still, cannot even manage […]
I spotted the largest plane I ever saw when flying into Ljubljana Airport. Please notice the fuel van parked under the wings on the far side of the monstrous machine.

The Clothes Drier consists of a vertical cylinder mounted on a tripod with an electrical oven about fifty centimeters […]
While scouting for something to make the removal of leftover bread crumbs from fundamentally useless irish bread more efficient I encountered this laser-gun looking device. Vacuum cleaning might have been fun had I been in possession of one of these when I was little. Nowadays I am more uncertain as to whether this is the […]
