    I had to look up outdated's two penny coin. We only had a "two pence" coin in decimal, ie., after 1971. Maybe we had them before I was born.

    Naming your strengths

    I get down on myself too. I didn't make a lot of friends over my life. As soon as friends started criticizing or being whiney I immediately preferred my own company I could state that if I'm in a position to help someone then I do, it's often been physical work to help and I've done my best...

    True, Bazooka Joe bubble gum tiny comics wrapped around the gum. Football cards in chewing gum and sticky cards with astronauts names commemorating flights. You've watched zero television today.

    :D I like Imperial but as I mentioned, happy to use my metric measuring tools in my metalwork escapades. Hey, you in 'Merica ! You put man on the Moon with the auld system :rocket: I used to help my dad in his lorry, delivering in the 70s. Cans of beans etc were always in a box of a dozen...

    ^ I use metric on things such as my lathe, micrometers etc. It's the equipment I have so I happily use it, outdated. I'm also happy to use imperial measurements when doing tasks,woodwork, fitting doors, the usual home tasks.

    I can nudge towards 10 stone but rarely. I am the same weight as the time I joined the armed forces in 1980, aged 19 years. I've lost a good half inch in height since then :D I know this by comparing my asthma clinic health check with my old 1980s identity card.

    This little thing, I've probably wrongly nicknamed it data cog. It's balanced on my pliers in one photo.
