Will see how ours turn out in the morning.
 
Is any one else thinking of a cheep battery powered LED light stuck in the middle?

That rings a bell from an age ago. Company in Manchester I used to work for tried to sell/market a similar device for use in glasses and ice cubes. Didnt take off as far as i know.
Wish i had a few of their prototypes left would have been perfect.
 
:D

Y'know, if that was loaded with ice balls it'd be lethal ? Literally :yikes:

I was thinking more along the lines of igloos with light panes made of coloured ice. Like stained glass windows :)

Young JonR built an igloo one year, didn't he ? Out of something like four inches of snow. T'was impressive :D

cheers,

That's rather good, isn't it ? :D

You could make them by making ice balloon bricks in shoe boxes or just packing them into a box from the greengrocers.
I don't need any more ideas :sigh: besides we have no snow and it's 2degC here tonight, it's not even freezing.

I do however have 100 waterbomb balloons for when it does freeze :D :D

sorry a bit off topic but my dad used to manage a paint ball place in northern ireland and they had to build an armoury for the guns with a ex army major to be licensed for them as the terrorists used to freeze the paintballs and kill people :yikes:
