Save the money and buy a decent knife instead. If I come and pay you a visit and find you have one of those crappy Wilko's £2.99'ers that 'can cut through tractor tyres and the legs of an oil rig whilst keeping its razor sharpe edge for a thousand years' then I'll fire you on the spot. Be warned witches, the Collins boys have standards. LB WoE,

Quite honestly the boys, on paper, seem to have very high standards. Presumably any prospective girlfri, girlfrie ....... female acquaintances would find it difficult to compete on the cleaning front (with the possible exception of one .... are you thinking what I'm thinking?!). We'll ask LB when's the best time to pop in for coffee then we'll riffle through his kitchen drawers to see if he's got better gadgets than us ....... we'll be able to size up what type of hot chick he needs. No point flying in for coffee at Rod's, he doesn't take kindly to callers-in and anyway we suspect his drawers aren't worth riffling through ..... plus he's always very guarded about Goldeneye assets! WoE - hard working socialite Little Witchlet,
