5 watt brushes?

Do they do the sweeping for you?

Okay,torches it is. I picked up one of those in Shenzhen a couple of years ago and was very impressed with it. I gave it to my son, ingrate!

A couple of months ago my Boss was pondering what to get an 18 year old that he knew but not too well, so I suggested one of these. I told him that he had better we aware that he may not want to give it away once he saw how good it was.

He bought another after he played with the original for the gift

I will be heading for HK and Shenzhen again soon and will pick up another one or two.

Why? Have you found that lights up when you put batteries in it??!

Well it's so bright I'm sure it could make you glow like a lightbulb. A bit cold though. On a slight aside, I might buy a few dozen of the T-Bin LED's and build a mega tourch out of my old shitty 10 mil one.

Everyone can predict what you are going to post on any thread now and probably ignore you.

A shame really because I used to think that you had some style....

Vash is as predictable as you are, and I can't point the finger myself..cos I'm just as bad.

Might as well leave it alone(!) At least Vash is not abusive.

Ok not as bright or long distance as the 10 mil, but amazing for it's power consuption. It's a fenlix L2T and worth every penny.

Just thought I'd give the girls an idea for a stocking filler for the lads.
Yawn, stretch, and curl up back to sleep again

I can think of a much more exciting stocking filler

Fair enough.

I'm sure Vash knows I'm only trying to wind him up

There are a lot worse.

This topic seems to be boring some people so maybe time to give up being happy and go back to normal!

LOL. If your tampons take batteries than you might need to turn the light on when going to the bathroom to makesure your using the corrent equipment.
