However, my favourite bit of "can't unsee this" is not from SW, but a prop from Thunderbirds. If you look closely at the bakground dressing of TB1's launch bay, there's a lemon squeezer on wall

Is that a couple of 16A sockets underneath the juicer?

Is that a door bell above the juicer? Lots of 15mm copper pipe there as well!
When I was a kid I didnt even notice the strings!

Vegan leather is much better for the cows.

Well not really, because we still scoff the inside bits.

Not in the long term though

I've just ordered a griddle for the bbq and a new cheese grater. Also new tongs with feet.

I've got those. I didn't know they were feet, and I didn't know silicone tongs came without them.

Party pooper, time to declutter
Selling a load of stuff that I don’t need, or doesn’t make me happy!

Ah, The Minimalists - love their podcast. And attracted to their mantra - 'love people, use stuff - not the other way around"

But do love furniture and design in general. A well- though through object makes me happy.

Yes, I was round a mate's and I thought to Myself "you flash bd". I suppose they're stands rather than feet.

We have similar tongs already for BBQs but they're standless but can be hung when not in use.

Those tongs pop up in TK Maxx and Homesense. I have an addiction to the small kitchen utensils they have in there. I have more tiny silicone stirring spoons and tiny pairs of tongs than I could ever use.
Husband reckons I have some kind of Lilliputian disorder for miniature stuff

Love it!

Do you think it would take a 17 inch laptop and other work detritus?

It NEEDS to. Can you imagine going into an important meeting with your laptop in that? You'd either score massive points or be escorted off the premises.

I can indeed, it’s why I asked!

Before my old office closed for cv19, I had a thermo change Star Wars mug, various Lego bits and a plushie stormtrooper on my desk.

My colleague had Yoda and various Marvel bits on his!
