Funnily enough that was my first thought .

I believe that IKEA has a whole range that are illegal under the Geneva Convention

They are often smuggled in a flat pack form  across international borders.

It's the Allen keys.  They fall into the same category as anti personnel cluster bomblets.

Are Habitat still trading in the UK?  I have, at my feet as I type, one of their coffee tables which if dropped from above 10,000ft would take out a whole city block.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Whilst modern flat-packed furniture can be dangerous, I was originally thinking of a late Victorian mahogany piece. If dropped with reasonable accuracy, the close-range devastation would be enormous.

Yes, Habitat are still trading.   And I thought that I'd lost the Allen keys..........are you suggesting that they are being improperly  acquired and stockpiled for anti-personnel use by some nefarious organisation?

I recently cleaned out my toolbox, putting all of the extra Allen keys I've collected aside (no need to have 5 of the same size), including a bunch of Ikea ones. One of those was spindled rather badly; high-quality they're not.

I was thinking of a guided Tallboy, could you make a glide version ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It would need bigger fins I think, although what I have in mind here it would be partially glideable so the launch aircraft would be in a stand-off location

Is someone makeing calltrops out of allen keys?

As for tall boys, has anyone seen Willy and is him being dropped from a Lanc why he's missing?

If anyone could find an aircraft with large enough wings to lift and drop it, the Welsh Dresser that seems to be an integral part of my kitchen would probably reduce the entire Forest of Dean to matchwood and produce tsunamis of incredible height on the Severn!  :banghead:

A Yorkshireman has bought it and moved it to a new site in Yorkshire and he's going to convert as a multi-place holiday home. Yes, really.

But he plans to do it in an understanding and atmospheric way, so I reckon I'll be booking in there sometime next year.  ;D
