Maybe I should shackle Dez to his Mac and get him working on the YACF Pendantiwiki?

Do you mean Pedantiwiki, or are you thinking of something a bit more swinging?

Careful, Clarion, it's a trap! Damn, too late, you just fell into it.

You may wish to erase the first and not stick with the second - they've been done before.

Phillips and Pozidriv screws and screwdrivers.

And indeed Torx for that matter.

I may have well referred to a Phillips screwhead (and other crossheads) as a Pozi, but as far as I know all Torx type screws and screwdrivers actually are Torx, so it's not really a generic term.

I suggest that you get nearer to the front of the queue the next time He is handing them out then

I've got a F'King Dick in my toolbox and I've never said that before.

Eberspächer

It's weird that this has become a generic term in the boating world as (a) no-one can spell it, and (b) no-one can pronounce it properly. It's a sort of boating central heating run off diesel which sounds like a mini jet engine out the back of your boat.

It's also generic in the retro VW world.
