No, no, it's the old junk you should bring. Who wants to spend their days and money in a new country searching out potatoe peelers, dustbins and dishracks? If you use an object but never think about it and can't remember how you got it in the first place, that should go in the container.

We have one of those. I was chastised for thrusting it into my trousers. It has moved from NC to UT to CO to MN to CO to ON and several times within CO and ON. I'm so glad we haven't had to waste a morning trying find another one as I expect they're metric here and don't fit properly.

Oh, bring your bathroom scales, they're mostly in pounds here and it's a bother to divide by 14 to find out if you've gained weight.

We have one of those. We mostly use it for pasta. I found it in the Boy's bedroom this morning. I've rather gone off pasta. Parmesan, certainly.

dbd has imperial testicles? My word.

Oh is that what it's for, pasta. We have 2 of them for some reason, I thought my wife bought one for each ball. I'd better put them back in the kitchen utensil drawer, I'll wash them first of course.

Imperial testicles, sounds really royal, "The king's imperial testicles will be on show to the public from 2pm" sort of thing.

On reflection, are we talking an existing photo, or were you planning to take one just for us?

I doubt they could care how you measure or weigh them.

They could be more concerned with the pics. Mind they may have already looked a decided they were trifling and not worthy of further investigation.
