MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

What would anyone want bent spanners for?

[Big Kev]

Half moon spanners make it a lot easier to get at awkwardly placed nuts and bolts...

[Tizer]

Uri Geller's spanners!

[Stanley]

Kev is right of course but there is a specific job these were made for.

[Gloria]

Are they for use on a cylinder head?

[plaques]

In the past I've 'bent' spanners for all kinds of access reasons but to buy a proprietary make would imply something like working down in a rocker box timing mechanism. Not a lot of experience on diesel engines so I can't say in this respect.

[PanBiker]

Rather than being specific, I would say they would be used whenever necessary.

[chinatyke]

I thought they might be for use on bolts inside a cylinder of some sort but why wouldn't use a socket for this? So I don't know, but I have seen them!

[Tizer]

The answer is easy - they're for getting around corners!

[Stanley]

Everyone is right but hasn't got the usage so I shall knock it on the head. They were sold as manifold spanners because they were particularly handy for getting at the nuts on exhaust manifolds and we have all had struggles with them in the past.
Next for shaving?

[Gloria]

What can you tell me about this for a start?

[Big Kev]

Is it on a bottle of wine?

[Gloria]

Yes, the one I'm drinking, which is it??

[plaques]

For a start. Its a salamander. On a piece of clothing ?

[Gloria]

No it's not on a piece of clothing.

[Big Kev]

Yes, the one I'm drinking, which is it??

A Chardonnay from Aldi? It's on the shelf next to the Kambala Chenin Blanc

[Gloria]

Well that didn’t last long, well done.

[Stanley]

OG never fails to amaze me! I hadn't a clue...

[Big Kev]

Well that didn’t last long, well done.

I was just lucky as I buy most of my wine from Aldi

[plaques]

That's what come of being near tea total Stanley, there's a whole bleary world out there that we have forgotten about.

[Gloria]

Well that didn’t last long, well done.

I was just lucky as I buy most of my wine from Aldi

So do we.

[Tizer]

Trust Kev to know all the wine bottle labels!
By the way, it looks more like a newt to me but I'll refrain from making urinary jokes.

They have a very good, reasonably priced, cellar.

[Big Kev]

Let's see how you do with this one
