Firstly Bergalia you need a pop up blocker.

Secondly it is good to have that site so when we get one of those, does anybody have a design for buildinga raft out of condoms and matchsticks we can piss them off to there.

Thirdly I went into the forum where it said "Building a raft out of PVC pipe and plastic drums" and there was nothing there.

It must have been like Alexander Bell when he invented the telephone. How did he sell the first one?

Trying to sell the first telephone must of been difficult.

Mr Bell, "Would you like to buy a telephone?"
Client, "What does it do?"
Mr Bell, "You can phone people on it."
Client, "Who can I phone?"
Mr Bell, "No one yet because no one else has one."
Client, "What good is it then?"
Mr Bell, "Well, people can also ring you."
Client, "Who?"
Mr Bell, "If you buy this telephone you will be the only person in the world that has one, therefore nobody can ring you, because nobody will have a telephone to ring you with."
Client, "OK, I'll buy one for myself, and one for my brother who lives 200 miles away so we can talk to each other."
Mr Bell, "Aw, may be a while before you can actually start talking."
Client, "Why's that?"
Mr Bell, "You'll have to wait until a company installs telephone cables."

So how did Mr Bell sell his first telephone?

Trivia - Did you know that Mr Bell invented the telephone as a hearing aid for his wife. Unfortunately this later prevented a lot of hearing impared people from joining companies due to the fact that telephones became the main form of communication.

So I read.

Some typos to fix ("LArge |" ?) and needs content, but an interesting idea.

Now Hold On...

Hello...

Go search PVC - PVC pontoon - Axe bow and other...

I remember Rhino'ing some 15" drainage PVC to make cheap pontoons...

It is out there - in the ENET ether...

Go get some of those McDonalds straws and pinch 'em...

Newcastle on Tyne is a beef stew ale - yum tum stuff...

When we all wake up - Youtube Mitch Hedberg - brilliant - see http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=2491LucLa1g ...

Anyone tired of this ****...
