Tense scenes as giant metal scissors tested
Those scissors could work! That blade looks like it’s proper metal and could even featured machine-sharpened edges. Alan Reid did not suffer in vain.
Would everyone be OK with it if next year we knock this on the head and start doing a blog about people cutting ribbons with HUGE scissors? We may also branch out into “Huge Cheques”.

I think huge cheques would be brilliant, and I would definitely waste at least 30 seconds of my day staring at such a blog.
I propose it be called “CHEQUESTRA-LAST”

But I thought cheques were being phased out by the banks? How are charities going to display how much people are donating? A big chip and pin device instead?
I vote to stick with batteries, they’re not going to disappear anytime soon.

“A big chip and pin device instead?”
Yes! And the person giving the money has to type the PIN using Kenny Everett-style oversized hands.

Huge checks is a great idea, but I think they are already covered here.

Along with pot-holes and fly tipping.

Hmmm, bit difficult to hide your pin as you’re entering it if it’s giant sized and you have huge Kenny Everett “Lets Bomb Russia!” hands
Maybe have one huge Kenny Everett one to hide under and a tiny Jeremy beadle one for the actual entering? That’d be the best, security-wise, surely?

Cheques. Bah! Although huge checks might be fun too.

I don’t understand why you can’t continue to occasionally feature large cheques and big scissors on THIS blog! I can tell you now that I would not be okay with change. Change is not right.
I also advise you not to listern to me, otherwise your life will gravitate inexorably towards a terrible, menial, difficult to describe strangers and hard to justify to yourself groove that you’ll find, in the long run… is…
Hang on, can one grvitate towards where one already is?

Idiot is pushing this down with an unusual number of updates as he can’t fathom Badben’s philosophical pondering. The answer, as to most philosophical questions, is: YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO. NOW GET UP AND DO SOMETHING, LOWLIFE.

I’ve got a new web-publishing tool. Makes it very easy so I’ve been getting carried away.

“I窶况e got a new web-publishing tool.”
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that, I’d have, well, a nickel.
Braggart!

I can gravitate to where I already am IF I WANT TO? Someone better get on the phone to the physicists, this is big
