Default skippus maximus

Call in skippus maximus and if the iron content is high he will cross your palms with sheckles and groats.

garage monsters ? is that the same as the garage fairies

i had a set square move itself then re appear a week later. even after the most categorised garage clean ups and then leaving it for weeks on end without a visit my stuff still vanishes and no one has been out there !

shame the monsters cant be trained and the fairies harnesses might speed my build up again !

how does lady ga ga motivate her little monsters?

Smile fairy vs monsters

Different animals ,I think the fairies are as bad, its them that change the tape from the time you measure something to the time you cut your material. They deal with all the lightweight stuff like wrong size spanner in your hand or mixing up wires. The monsters job is different his job is to fxxk you up, letting you drain oil into a bucket with a hole that wasnt there,hiding tools for a month and worshop mayhem. I wonder how many side panels have been fxxked up by these devious critters?

I work with computers, I mainly deal with gremlins in the workshop! And also lots of bugs, but that's mainly down to microsofts evil empire.

This all reminds me of an article I managed to get into Model Engineer magazine in 1998:



That earned me a whole £10!

I think I may have killed mine - popped in the garage the other day, and the power was off, nothing unusual there (the supply is in the back of a cupboard in the kitchen and regularly gets knocked off accidentally).

I turned it back on and returned to the garage, turned the light on. The little demon must have been in the consumer unit, and began to hum loudly before exploding in a shower of sparks.

So now no more garage demon, but no more electricity either.

ahh so they dont like electricity hmmmm ? ive thought many a time about building a little robot to live in the garage with a full blown lazer jobbie whos sole purpose was to guard from the monster / fairies but i fail with the programming

maybe a set of tights and a cod piece is in order david bowie labyrith stylee seemed all the monsters/ critters/ fairies were scared of him !

you know i think that would work !
