I'm thinking of taking up cross stich to while away the empty hours, has any tried this? I'm particularly thinking of doing my own designs with a nautical theme.

Perhaps you and Tome could practise your sewing together - though I think he was going straight stitch wise and eclectic (whoops, electric) whereas you're getting into the cross stuff and by hand type job.

i do believe you've found another niche in the market easily the equal of my liferaft maintenance job. Dual purpose pullover & Nautical chart? washable, eh?

technically, the shrinkage of the article need not be such a problem as the scale will shrink too, won't it? a pair of grundies would seem a good place to start and there's a willing outlet in M&S who are in need of a new line of knickers to bolster flagging sales. and, speaking of flags, would a stitched ensign be an ideal application .... i see a potential market in the windsor area the month after next, especially if you can include a pic of an old bloke and his bint on the flag ...

onyways, heres a wee help tae get youse awa' ...

Happy with your obesity, sexuality, mortality etc...... Drinking a bit.....
Does this mean there is a recognition here that you are a fat w***er, who's drinking himself to an early grave then or have I missed the point?

These posts have become dreary again. We need more gratuitous insults.
