Meccano. Now there's a real man's engineering kit. Last year I made an oil rig with revolving drill and a beach buggy that went forwards and backwards.

fool soft handed fops such as yourself and Berni into believing they have bought proper tools. Overpriced junk I'm afraid.

You wouldn't catch real men like me or Sir C anywhere near them.

Over the years I have lost many hours in construction, the most time consuming being a tie between Benny’s Space Ship and Kylo Ren’s Space Ship, both approx. 5-6 hours.

On both occasions I ended up in the late to early hours, drink taken, having promised it would be done by next morning.

I can verify, with authority, that Lego is a complete ****.

If indeed an inanimate object can be so.

You don't own any Snap On tools do you? I'll wager your socket set is Halford's own brand and is still as shiny as new because you never use it!

I have no idea, actually. All of my tools are within the purview of the handyman and the gardener, and I enter neither of their realms lest I encounter dirt, spiders or pornography.
