Triz
I get many advertising E mails at work, but I think "Lilly" was a little optimistic with this marketing ploy?
I wrote back and asked for a radio controlled helicopter instead
It was either that, or claim that I already had the first two parts of triz and was saving up for the third.

Surely what every engineer wants for Christmas is a new roll of duct tape and a bigger hammer - oh, and a little "home comfort".

PS: home comfort = get rid of the family, switch off the telly, open a bottle of whiskey.

Nah. Tank tape is better than duct tape.
This engineer is after a Unimog.

I already know what I’m getting for Christmas..... a Propex gas heater to keep me warm.
I know I’m getting it as I bought it and it’s now behind the Christmas Tree.

I'm getting a BBQ for the caravan, I know as I bought it and the wife wrapped it and put it behind the tree
That and a new bed apparently...

I have a propex gas heater that I bought for my caravan, it will be up for sale because I want the gas/electric version to fit - came out just after I bought the gas version

None of us want Triz though, that's for sure
Googling "triz & lilly" was less exciting than portrayed by nightbar
No sign of my helicopter yet................
