This little shot tube came my way last week as part of a deal. I just couldn't resist it as it is beautifully hand drawn by Paul Cook and depicts that iconic BB image from the book of that name. Delightful!

Very nice indeed

Every home should have one. (Or two)

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.
