Wot I has been so very very excited about.....

my new torch...

he is called Colin, and is unbeleivably quiet (and very very hot!!!).

lol, hope you will be very happy working together!

yup, I think it's love

LOL, hot indeed !!!!

Looks exciting Tina and lovely colour. Is that the glass you use for beads on the right?

Yeah, hope you'll be very happy together Tina. lol.

Looks like a serious bit of kit, hun.

I'm trying to think of something to say that doesn't include the word 'tool'. Er, very nice, hot thing?
The glass looks yummy.

Ooh how interesting to see your glass work area.
Looks fascinating. Why Colin ?

He is a Cricket, and was nicknamed Colin by Helen, the lady who owned him before me. (My previous torch was Horace the Hothead, just in case you were wondering ).

Yes Cath, those are the glass rods that use, and the metal 'sticks' in the green bucket of sand are the mandrels that I wind the beads onto.

No, it needs alliteration : Tony the Torch, Tommy, terry........

noooo he looks like a colin or similar name to me def not cuthbert ...would ANY cuthbert wear orange top and purple bottoms together ?? think they would be more of a grey top and pale checked bottoms brigade lmao.

loads of boat people change the names of their boats ,they just make a big ceremony of it so its ok !!!!

interesting space to look at tina , the colours of the glassrods is pretty

yes, but he's specifically a Cricket, so a 'c' works better

Surely he's got to be JIMINY then.

Absolutely! That's what I put in the e:mail when I sent the Paypal money to Helen!
