Light and Shade

[andygates]

The universe has a sense of balance after all: after a Day From Hell (find the developer who puts half a printer's settings on the panel and half on the web interface, find him and break his fingers) I got home to find a shiny new BT hub and phone, and the last tranche of birthday toys: a Frost's Mora Clipper sheath knife (cheap, serviceable, sharp: throw in pannier or rucksack and forget) and an over-the-top jet lighter (that thermite doesn't light itself).  

It was still a crappy day.  But a crappy day with toys beats a crappy day without toys, neh?

Ah, but grizzled man in Alp say: he who craps with the most toys still craps.

Yes, but he craps reading a user manual for his new toy.

I misread that as an over-the-top jet fighter. The thermite bit then confused me.

Can you pimp a jet-fighter though? Go faster stripes on the missiles? A really big spoiler?

I think so.
