# May I thread-jack to tell you of my day please? It has been fun and is perhaps worthy of discussion.
Up to you, I would not like to draw attention away from your lovely image of a sensible lady who knows her limits.

# Well quite.
But I can assure you it would be my pleasure to discuss your day's interesting events.

# Thank you ever so much.
Today, we mostly behaved like small children:

twitpic.com/1o3gbr - the ignition system and combustion chamber.

twitpic.com/1o3fyh - Firing her at a grill - you can see the chips in this, just about.

twitpic.com/1o3hiu - Chips we made.

Furthest shot was 127 meters and I think we could have done more, had the farmer not arrived on his quad.

I have cut my jaw open though, following a malfunction with the chamber, during which the top blew off and taught me not to fire from the hip any more.

Well, the second time the top flew off and fucked off 25' down the track I learned anyway.

Just to be clear, we made an acetylene cannon with carbide and potatoes.

It was awesome.

# This is my kind of toy alright.
Back in the 70's we used to make pipe bombs and blow up old cars abandoned at a dump near the River Roding in Woodford. Happy days.

# Good fun those,
I have one almost exactly like that.

I've never managed chips though, it seems to turn to mash instead.

# Pedant's Corner
What is a "wasing machine"?

All that effort and fruitful squeezing of comedy glands, diminished by one tiny typo. :(
