It's even better than that - I make all my money out of banking without having to stoop so low as to being a banker. I just have them as clients

No wonder you play the Conservative and defend the banking system.

Granted, it's a very positive step that you're man enough to admit it publicly

I think it is the combination of using the phrase 'bum-buddies' which I have not really heard since I was school and that a perfectly reasonable thread about LEGO can turn into to some banal commentary on banking

Here's a little progress update - 15 hours in and about 1,800 pieces used. As you can see there are still thousands of pieces to go.

Looking forward to seeing the finished model.

Technic lego was probably my favorite. There's a big crane model that looks cool.

Hell Trout, just for a moment I thought you had put it together in just over 6 minutes!

Good luck with it though, its quite a kit to put together.

Imagine having to design that model for the market!
