I've just the two. (Sewing machines). Basic, but good for repairing stuff.

I actually can't use my wife's machines - I learnt on a basic one at school. I can hand sew, as you need to, or I do, as I am always patching up my bike kit...

Her machines are way too complex..

All handicraft stuff is N+1. I have so many sets of KnitPro knitting needles you would not believe!

Soldering irons? long nosed pliers? wire strippers?

Actually, after extensive testing I have concluded this is best style wire stripper.

I was left-hooked on the Earls Court one way system today. My right knee completely fubared his door mirror before I bounced off his wing and ended up on the tarmac with the bike underneath me. The sound of impact caused some witnesses to rush towards me and look concerned. I got up and span the front wheel to see if it was damaged. It seemed OK and so did I. The driver was extremely apologetic and asked if I was sure I was OK. I was. He offered me a drink at the pub on the corner but I was in a hurry, so we just shook hands and went on our ways. Stuff happens.

Glad you're OK. Sounds like a decent guy who just screwed up. At least that is one more motorist who will be thinking a bit more from now on

Somebody knocked the mirror of my parked shabby van a couple of years ago. It wasn't motorised or anything. Cost £120 to get fixed. The driver today said "Metal can always get fixed. Bodies can't." Decent bloke.
