'Twas the Month before Christmas ...

[DaveInOz]

'Twas the Month before Christmas and all through the shed sawdust hung for the cobwebs.
I could clean up ..... Nah
I could start on the kid sized outdoor chairs I'd promised the in-laws ..... Nah
Too early for beer .....
and fantasizing about new tools is frustrating.

What I need is workshop inspiration - What I need is a visit from Little Neil the woodwork inspiration fairy.

Bloody hell Craig - I wasn't implying anything about the mighty and manly 'U':eek: I just thought I'd give the inspiration fairy a good name ...... what makes you think 'U' qualifies as a fairy ?? What do you know that I don't?

Is there a link between the Inspiration fairy and 'U' other than the occasional visit which I'm sure is all above board?

Of course I only ment larger which is an afternoon beer, ale as a breaky beer is perfectly acceptable, as is bitter, wheat beer, stout, derivatives of larger (pilsner), Trapist beers .....

Whereas XXXX is never acceptable under any circumstances. But then I don't know why I mention it, as it's not really a beer at all, is it. D

When all of a sudden, there arose such a clamour,
I leapt to my feet and picked up my hammer.

The door to my shed was ripped from it's hinge,

"You ain't see'n nothing lunk head" the fairy said as it flit lightly to my shoulder and smaked me in the head with what looked like a wand but could have been a very small 2x4.

..... credit card, we're going shopping. First we need timber, lots of timber, and tools, new tools" Little Neilseyes gleamed with a maniacal light.

"But" I protested "I'm broke!"
This time the tiny 2x4 drew blood.

"Don't sweat it me old china" Neil quipped, all confidence, "I get trade discount"

So into the ute Neil the fairy stomped, with me close behind, and with a sprinkle of fairy (saw) dust we where transported to ................

next week - where we quickly bought all the newspapers and wrote down the winning lotto numbers.

Next stop in the ute hauled by carved reindeer was to be...

... back to the past to purchase the tickets and then to tomorrow to pick up the winnings.

"Now sit tight," said Neil "you snivelling louse, our next stop will be Bunnings Warehouse."

"My God, are you mad, " said I to the fairy. "I haven't been there since ... "

.... they kicked me out of the playground"

"Well, dis time youse are gunna get some timber" Neil said, He looked sternly at me "And no bitching about the range or service, got it"

"Got it" I replied as I nervously eyed the 2x4

"Good, now lets go check out the racks" Neil instructed

After we left the service desk with its impressive rack we headed straight for the timber.

"right", said Neil, " Ere's wot ya need. ..........
