    Is there a handy mine nearby you could send them down?

    I've heard of coal, tin, copper and diamond mines but never handy ones. Do they come in two types perchance, left handy or right handy?

    Yes!

    Not forgetting the rare ambidextrous handy!


    And then of course, there's the German handy mine, where you can go and hack out yourself a new mobile phone! :rotfl:

    Now that one could be tricky if you aren't sure what you're digging for.

    It's similar to haggis hunting, where you need to know which subspecies you're after. One has the right legs longer than the left, the other has them the opposite way around. If you know which you're after then you know which way to chase them around the mountain so that they fall over. Get it wrong and you'll never catch 'em :rotfl:

    Ambidextrous handies have equal-sized legs.

    Sort of thing.

    I can't begin to tell you how much that made me chuckle.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Pyxis is so excited she's taking a plane there as we speak.

    Hehe, I wouldn't base your assumptions too much on the location of my local distillery - it may be my local one (in comparison to other distilleries) but it is still at t'other end of the Lake District ;)

    That would be handy (to jump back a post or two) if they hadn't stuck a nick, a housing estate and a set of wind turbines on the old airfield :rotfl:
