It's official, I'm a chatterbox :eek:

This is post 20,000 :rolleyes:

Admittedly a fair number are in the Mods, but still :eek:

Thing is that in real life I'm quietly spoken :D........I just think lots :D

Thinking lots and touch typing is a fatal combination ;)

I kept hoping that Shewie or British Red would hurry up and overtake me, but they're hanging fire.

I've avoided the whole competition thing up until now, mostly because I hadn't a clue what to ask or what to offer.
I think this milestone though, I'd maybe best make an effort.

A long time ago Wayland started a thread called, "What has it got in it's pocketses?",
and I pointed out that my pocketses was a handbag :D
Since those days you lot have corrupted me; and now my pocketses is a muckle great keyring bunch of those wee sealed capsules and useful tools.

There are twelve in total.

There are six capsules, and right off I'll tell you that one is a peanut lighter .

What are the the tools though ? (extra points if you get the contents of the capsules right too :) )

I'm going to offer up a lucky box :D but I promise it'll be interesting stuff and useful :) Not clothing or heavy kit, but a mix of stuff from hussif to amadou, from tablet to a hipflask of sloe whisky.

I'll let the competition run until I reach 20,100 posts, and bearing in mind that this is Christmas and I'm at home and at peace with the world :cool: I haven't a clue how long it'll take......going by the 20,000 though, it'll be all bye by the Hogmanay :eek:

cheers,
Toddy

Capsules would have things like thread and buttons, painkillers, some cordage, and perhaps a dram for medicinal purposes :rolleyes:

Shewie has 4 out of 12, but 6 if I give a little leeway :)

I like numerical puzzles, but I think the odds on that lot are beyond even my convoluted brain :eek:
