Innovation Paul I drove over to where I worked so long ago in the hope I would find cones from hell they grow about a foot long from trees that grew around the admin area. The CSIRO Divion of Forestry is no longer its now technology and information. Cause its Anzac Day no one there no cones was going to show it to you as a Paul Hogan moment thats a cone. They used to be terrified one would land on their head. I remember fondly they had an African Thorn bush with the most wicked thorns and when I was still a mad student Photographer doing my Exams I had a beautiful maiden appear to be caught up in a branch she got some normal portfolio pics I got some exhibition ones to remember.I used that pouring red plastic for blood.

Nice drive one of those impulse things I will do again there used to be a few around on window sills (pine cones) of course.

Peter.

After buying 20 pens they fill a case. If they fill 20 cases they can bring them back to me and exchange it for a pair of scissors
