Just for a laugh - No AI please !

[Osgood]

Just looking through some old photos and found two items that I hesitated purchasing and really wish I'd acquired at the time - too late now.

First is a very, very clever exercise in cutting and bending steel plate - a fire grate, I knew should have grabbed it when i saw it (perhaps I thought I'd make my own but as often always the case you never get around to it):




Secondly this item - so many uses this could have been put to, really really annoyed that I hesitated on the first visit:

I know this is past it's appropriate date, but I think it's still funny!

Isn't it just, so clever yet so simple, wish I had that kind of brain!

I recall a Dave Lee Travis BBC Radio phone-in competition sometime during 1990 before the tunnels from each end met (December).
The question was: What to do with the English side of the Channel tunnel if it was abandoned shortly before break-through?
Second best was somewhere to dump all the Free Mandela T shirts (he was freed in February), but the winner was:
somewhere to put all the chalk that had been dug out (must have been a local!).

Around the same time he ran a competition for ideas for a useful device that could replace the radio in a car dash - my favourite was:
a sandwich toaster.

Personally I would have opted for a trouser press.

Two Nuns proceeding down a darkened alley at night. A vampire leaps out of the darkness causing them to stop. The senior SIster is trans fixed with fear unable to move but remembering her duties to her younger colleague whispers “in circumstances like this you must show him your cross” the younger sister immediately responds by shouting “%**£ off you pointy toothed weirdo” To be fair I think she was a novice.

Are you sure the last one is British?

Looks like a Czech Teat Owl to me.
