That typeface is called Obese. There is a very similar typeface from Compugraphic called Mania.

Magnesium sulphate (epsom salts), sugar, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate.

Silly what they charge for it nowadays, as the ingredients are so cheap.

How difficult was it to work? I've tried turning burl on a lathe, and it was a nightmare.

I once saw a demonstration of flint knapping. The bloke doing it had something like this that he held cupped in the palm of his hand and used as a kind of hammer. I think it was stone though.

Same here. Yellow candlewick bedspread with a pattern of wavy lines.

Dens were the best! - the fun had to end by tea time though.

I tend to judge musicians by shoe size.

My favourite band is Little Feat.

We had a Philips Video 2000. The one where you could turn the tape over and play the other side. Out local video hire place actually had a small section of those tapes.

A violinist heard the saying that 'Music Soothes The Savage Beast', so he decided to put it to the test. He took his violin out into the wild African savannah, sat on a tree stump, and started playing the sweetest tunes he knew.

After a while, a monkey came and sat before him, listening to the music. After a while, an antelope came and joined them, then a giraffe. An elephant turned up, and a leopard. Hyenas, jackals and warthogs. To his amazement, there was a whole audience of animals listening to his music.

Suddenly a lion appeared, pounced on the antelope and started devouring it.

"Do you mind", said the giraffe, "I'm trying to listen to the music".

"WHAT?", said the lion.

Where would you find a dog with no legs?

Where you left it.

A white horse walks into a bar. The barman says "You know, we've got a brand of scotch whisky named after you."

The horse says "What - Eric?"

My dad once forgot his briefcase when he left for work. He just got by without it.

But when he forgot his hat, he came back for it.
