yesterday out of the blue
my brother gave me a telescopic magnetic picking up tool (that's what it says on the box)

looks like a little pen with a telescopic thing on the end and a magnet no bigger than a 5p coin, but it can pick up a lump hammer.

fucking brilliant. great end to a great weekend.

Often used by mechanics etc to retrieve items dropped into difficult-to-access places. Handy thing to have in your toolkit.

Now all you need
is magnetic skins and magnetic cheesy wotsits.
