already used it. Robin thats the next port of call. Not really mechanically minded which means tasks take alot longer and with the amount of light in a day meaning its hard to catch chances to work on it and the cold weather. Well i'm sure you get the jist.

Don't put the whole egg in though...  Just the white
It's a bit ghetto though - How do you fish the Shell out??
