Some ideas for projects…. The air gun intrigues me…

Shield pistol. Leather with steel
Armor.

War hammer. Damascened .

This little guy is interesting but need more drawings Or a patent drawing. Early air pellet gun.

For a people Who are disarmed, cowed, have anppallong teeth and are rapidly turning brown and yellow… these now-third-world Brits once sure had a lot of cool stuff. You know… like cool guns and India and America!

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there's no one out to get you. Always be close to a weapon. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition...IYKYK.

Never bring a coffee table to a gunfight!

PS. Though that does bri g me back to high school in VT… at a AAA ball club game (The Vermont Reds — back when Marge Schott owned the team and it was definitely not communist). It was my first lesson in marketing and it was a damn good one.

What I learned was this: One does not schedule $.25 beer night.

And bat night.

On the same night.

It was a great time, though!

Good point. A nice lamp is clearly the better choice.

And for the paranoid...

I like your lamp. I might need to add one to my collection.

You are spot on regarding London and England.
I have been there twice in last year including V&A Museum.
Brits are scarce in London today.
Sad state of affairs.
