And I've got a window cleaner.

"Now I'm a soldier sculptor,
I work throughout the day.
Pushing putty here and there,
I do it for my pay.

But when I'm being careless,
I cut myself with steel,
So often, that it makes me think,
My fingers shouldn't feel.

The red stuff stains the table,
Goes on the soldiers too,
The corks get ultra slippry (sic)
Drips on my trainers too.

(Think I should have another verse in here, but b*gger it)

Yes , you should see how much I bleed,
When I'm juggling scalpels."

Thanks once again for the links Grumpy, I think I will have to but Triumph of the Will. They should work with 10mm? Units fire in groups of 5 so that can be translated as a stand/base in this scale? Again I had never heard of them till I read your post, thank you.

As for the entertaining ballad on cutting fingers, have you ever written one on dropping figures? I seem to be doing that a lot lately!

I think we ALL do that, Carl ! 

The 'ditty' refers to my penchant for injuring myself.
(I fear I'm rather well known on the forum for having 'accidents'.  )

Cheers - Phil

Excellent stuff Phil. Good to see George is still inspiring people. 

Welcome CarlLayland.
Enjoy.
Don't panic if any thread gets diverted (hijacked). Just roll with it.
Many years ago i had a blue Montego, you didn't build it by any chance?
If you did i have a few bones to pick. . . . 

Just bec ause he's from the NW doesn't necessarily mean he's a British Leyland.

You are on a roll today Mate.
