[ThisThe scene: Small Brother's out-laws. We are post-christening for Isobel. As is traditional, JH-R (elder) is handed small child by JH-R (younger) so pictures can be taken and you lot can make 'om nom nom' jokes on FriendFace later

If that child has an unhealthy interest in jet engines later on in life it'll probably be your fault.

That's the plan.

Luckily there's a pristine SIIa to play with outside.

Spanners are a sore point with me at present. I've been scouring Halfords from top to bottom trying to find non-metric tools suitable for use on a non-pristine SIIa. (I have some suitable for a Mini, but Land Rovers have REALLY BIG NUTS).

Is it me, or has Halfords gone crap? If you don't drive a blinged-up 2007 Subaru Something-or-Other, there's practically nothing useful in there these days. Eventually I had to get me spare wheel off with a pipe wrench.

Talking of noisemakers of a certain vintage: you're mentioned, in close proximity to Steve Albini, in my own LJ...

With any luck, quercus and/or jarkman will be along in a moment to wave a Snap-On catalogue at you. The bastards.

Halfords remain the same as they've always been.

Yes. That sounds like Chicago.

Within a year, she'll be able to accompany you with a surprisingly accurate-sounding (although not necessarily rhythmic) performance of saucepans and spoons.

Awesome.
