Seeing as the idea of having Nick as the official pub gadget tester is now stuck in my head I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of items that Nick isnt allowed anywhere near......ever.

Number 1: The head mounted gun.  eeek:

I have just had a small accident of an annoying kind. The late lawnmower was transported in my car to the local lawnmower repair shop who declared that they did not fix that sort. I proposed to Mrs Nick that since it is dead I should take it to the dump. She insisted on me proving that it did not work. I know it doesn't work. So I plugged it in to the kitchen poweropoint and switched it on to demonstrate its deadness. The bastard worked! Unfortunately it was still on the back seat of my car! cussing:

I could be mistaken Barman but is the torch in item number 2 just resting against the top of the Beretta as I cant see anyone being daft enough to mount it in between the sights  whistle:

And for number 4, I've gone back to 1950's America with an actual childs toy (No I'm not kidding, its a real kids atomic energy lab with radioactive samples  eeek:)

I know I've mentioned this beast in another thread but its certainly one to add to the list, unless Nick is on another continent at the tme:
