Having examined this photo a tad closer, it appears that not only is it a triple but there's an added 2/3rds to boot

Well spotted oneeye. We are creeping slowly but surely towards the four'er.

Indeed, a four'er is the stuff of dreams. All this 'er talk reminds me of playground conkers way back in my youth. Used to soak them in vinegar or bake them just to get a competitive edge; magic times

Personally I never liked the idea of getting my knuckles smashed  Remember those 2 balls on a string that used to go click click, they were worse. Edit, Klackers.

We used to do the same thing. Happy days.

I remember Klackers. Get your Klacker action wrong and that was you wincing with pain in the playground.

These were the buggers, bruised many a knuckle back in my youth. Arent they used for something else nowadays? They do look vaguely familiar.............

I wouldn't know as I've not been in close proximity to them. I did once buy a whole fist with almost half an arm attached to it at a sex shop once. It was for a lady friend of mine who would appear to have a bent for fisting people. It was her 40th birthday and I thought I'd put my thinking cap on to make it special. I also came up with her second present which was a dive computer (we'd all not long learned to dive). So, I put two and two together and got her a fist with half an arm sex toy on which I wrapped the dive computer (they look like a watch). Then I wrapped the dive computer in coloured tissue paper so that she couldn't see it and that it would be an after surprise. I can do good presents me.

I remember one year waiting at a French ferry port to get the boat back to the UK and cars were limping in an various states of patch up.  The best was a guy who had a Triumph TR4 and the ball at the bottom of the gear lever had shattered while he was driving in Spain.  He's managed to buy a klacker ball and shape it with the help of his wife's nail file and replace the shattered part. He made it from Spain, through France to the Ferry.
