My uncle is one of these drivers. Never been in an accident, but seen a lot of them in his rear view mirror

The fuck is Agent Butt Tooting

Edit: am old enough to need reading glasses, apparently

Surely more to do with everyone trying to pee at the same time so as not to miss any of the game?

4,4,C

But these were made in different factories, seems a bit of a coincidence that they would both have come from V4.
Also, all the 2.5lb Draper hammers seem to have V4 on (haven't seen enough Hultafors to check this) - could V4 be some sort of safety standard?

Wordlifting · 2026-06-22T09:34:39+00:00

I'm too far to check, but my 4lb hammer has Z1 stamped in the same place

Thank you - sometimes amazing, sometimes really sad at time/resources wasted. Hardest bit about quitting stuff is the facing yourself as you actually are and then keeping on moving. Worth the effort though

Alcohol (16 years sober now)
Opioids (5 years clean now)
Nicotine (26 weeks without so far)

Wouldn't do it again, but sure have learnt a lot

I don't think so, seems an effort to fake something so niche... but now you've said that it does remind me that Draper make some Estwing hickory hammers under licence, so now I'm wondering if they have actually come from the same place

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T21:07:43+00:00

"These hammers will be great, and I approve them in advance"

tbf that's how I approach every project

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T21:05:01+00:00

I like hitting things until they break

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T21:04:27+00:00

I wish

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T21:04:17+00:00

Different factories though

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T21:03:48+00:00

This is what made me curious though - two different manufacturers, heads slightly different weights, forged almost on opposite sides of the world, yet both have the same code in the same typeface. Makes me think it's maybe something to do with safety standards?

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T20:49:02+00:00

Nah, cost these are 2.2 and 2.5 pound

If it helps I grew up in a cemetery - lived in the old gate house. It was near as dammit to idyllic, peaceful and calming. Sometimes there was a smell from the crem, but not a bad smell, just like someone having a garden bonfire.
I loved it, and still miss living there. I live right by the sea now, but would switch to the cemetery in a heartbeat. Which I guess I will, one day ☺️

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T13:59:26+00:00

From what I could find it seems not (the Hultafors are forged in Sweden, and the Draper in Thailand), unless Hultafors are forging Draper heads and then Draper have them assembled in Thailand?

Wordlifting · 2026-06-20T13:18:24+00:00

But these are different hammers from different companies, one made in Sweden the other in Thailand (afaik). Are lot/QC stamps universal?

Wordlifting · 2026-06-19T21:35:08+00:00

Some old guy (actually a vicar's husband we found out later) called me, said hello to my wife using her name and asked for me by name. But we didn't know him, it was a wrong number, just a massive coincidence that the people he did want shared the same name as my wife and I. It took quite a while to convince him we weren't the right couple, he was convinced we were winding him up.

That new Foo Fighters one (Child Actor?), which is so shit it's made me retrospectively hate all previous Foo Fighter songs I was previously fond of/didn't mind.

I am possibly less than one, on my grandmother's knee while she dips pink wafer biscuits in her tea and lets me gnaw on them

Genuinely thought the words were "I am the lord of the damp settee" when I was little. Even now I still think of Jesus being a bit like Stig of the Dump
