Well yew might larf! Swim got me a couple of 'woodworking' mags the other
day - they are even nerdier than audio geeks it appears. The mags followed
form exactly, even down to a 'jigsaw shoot-out' feature and a 'final few
words' at the back from some God-botherer, no less....!!


The God-Botherer bit made me chuckle. When I was working for Marconi
Instruments, we were quite close with Hewlett Packard's instrument
division in the American Mid West somewhere, to the point that we were
sent copies of their house magazine. The mag was full of pictures of
their employees with profiles. Everybody seemed to be the same -
Christian, sings in the church choir and makes his own furniture. I
think they stamped them out with a cookie-cutter.

(This year's grinding wheel grey is *pink* actually, I thought you'd be
interested to know!! ;-)


Do you have to wear pink overalls so you co-ordinate, though?
