hmm...free room and board, single malt whiskey, lots of Zippo's...sounding pretty good to me mate!
Perhaps I'll even bring a few Cuban cigars!

would come jeff but its a bit to cold to be sleeping in the woods man,even with the whisky.

[bigbaddad]

Yup it's cold out in those damn woods.We just got our first of the year ice storm last night.What a mess.Last big ice storm we got we had no power for 5 days.Good thing I got the generator.Not a real bad one this time.
Hell Mate I would let you in the house.My wife might toss me out but you would be a guest so you could stay.
Now Bob,The scotch would not even cover the amount of work needed to fix my mess.It would take a week just to find most of them.bbd

[freddythefox]

spotted a difference between our wives Jeff,our lass would throw us both into the woods.luckily my old man lives 5 doors down.

Here's a beauty done by our Happy Kiwi Zipponaut, Paul (or is that Zippo Kiwinaut?) that I received a few weeks back. Done on a 33 replica first release black ice. The pics are less than perfect and the lighter is so much better in person!

Cheers Paul!

Cheers for the feedback guys - it was a fun one to do for Bob - that quote gives me a giggle every time I think of it!Looking forward to seeing your one again Jeff as the hard drive on the 'puter died sometime ages back & lost copies of all my earlier pieces (aaaaaaaaaargh!). Be careful Bob as if Jules has his wicked way with you at the Swapmeet ;-) he might be a getting it sooner rather than later!

[arthurdent]

Jules! you are having fun with that cheque aren't you? Good show mate on the new aquisitions!

[freespirit07]

Jules - I'm positive you'd do no permanent harm to Bob but for Bob's sake I'd have difficulties trusting the "just gonna mess him up a bit" - after all 'tis the English who specialise in understatement! ;-0 I'm looking forward to you posting pics of your latest buys here for all to see - you're going to have one seriously large collection of ship Zippos at the present rate (& great to see the Barcroft infiltration!)

[arthurdent]

Will you be my bodyguard, Paul? hahahaha....
