We read in Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper.."
I begin to believe it, ever since my experiments with scaffolding in the area of defence began to show promise.

I think it has something to do with the amount of heat aluminium absorbs , in flight steel tubes would heat up very quickly where as ali stays cool .
So my conclusion is your gonna throw long uns at the bs tards

This is a harmless thread, wind up or not. There is no bad intention or trolling, false advertising or the such. If you don't like it you can ignore it and it'll disappear into the netherworld that is page 2 of the scaffolders forum :laugh: :blink1:

If SF Admin didn't approve of this thread he would have removed it, I doubt he's thinking of chucking the towel in because someone reckons he can turn tube and fitting into a national security device :nuts::laugh:
I thought the smilies I left after my comment would give away my intention with the reply, light hearted. I'm sorry if you read it wrong and took offence

National security is very important and our inventors sould be helped in every way
I know from personel experience that tube whether steel or ally,can make great weapons prefer the 2ft ally butt, nice and light and fast moving although the steel version packs more of a belt.

Bit harsh there Jigga, There are many types of humour here are a few for your purusal,number 12 is used a lot on this Forum
1. Anecdotal: Named after the word anecdote (which stems from the Greek term meaning “unpublished”); refers to comic personal stories that may be true or partly true but embellished.
2. Blue: Also called off-color, or risque (from the French word for “to risk”); relies on impropriety or indecency for comic effect. (The name probably derives from the eighteenth-century use of the word blue to refer to morally strict standards — hence the phrase “blue laws” to refer to ordinances restricting certain behavior on the Sabbath).
A related type is broad humor, which refers to unrestrained, unsubtle humor often marked by coarse jokes and sexual situations.
3. Burlesque: Ridicules by imitating with caricature, or exaggerated characterization. The association with striptease is that in a bygone era, mocking skits and ecdysiastic displays were often on the same playbills in certain venues.
4. Dark/Gallows/Morbid: Grim or depressing humor dealing with misfortune and/or death and with a pessimistic outlook.
5. Deadpan/Dry: Delivered with an impassive, expressionless, matter-of-fact presentation.
6. Droll: From the Dutch word meaning “imp”; utilizes capricious or eccentric humor.
7. Epigrammatic: Humor consisting of a witty saying such as “Too many people run out of ideas long before they run out of words.” (Not all epigrams are humorous, however.) Two masters of epigrammatic humor are Benjamin Franklin (as the author of Poor Richard’s Almanackand Oscar Wilde
.
8. Farcical: Comedy based on improbable coincidences and with satirical elements, punctuated at times with overwrought, frantic action. (It, like screwball comedy — see below — shares many elements with a comedy of errors.) Movies and plays featuring the Marx Brothers are epitomes of farce. The adjective also refers to incidents or proceedings that seem too ridiculous to be true.
9. High/highbrow: Humor pertaining to cultured, sophisticated themes.
10. Hyperbolic: Comic presentation marked by extravagant exaggeration and outsized characterization.
11. Ironic: Humor involving incongruity and discordance with norms, in which the intended meaning is opposite, or nearly opposite, to the literal meaning. (Not all irony is humorous, however.)
12. Juvenile/sophomoric: Humor involving childish themes such as pranks, name-calling, and other immature behavior.
13. Mordant: Caustic or biting humor (the word stems from a Latin word meaning “to bite”). Not to be confused with morbid humor (see above).
14. Parodic: Comic imitation often intended to ridicule an author, an artistic endeavor, or a genre.
15. Satirical: Humor that mocks human weaknesses or aspects of society.
16. Screwball: Akin to farce in that it deals with unlikely situations and responses to those situations; distinguished, like farcical humor, by exaggerated characterizations and episodes of fast-paced action.
17. Self-deprecating: Humor in which performers target themselves and their foibles or misfortunes for comic effect. Stand-up comedian Rodney Dangerfield was a practitioner of self-deprecating humor.
18. Situational: Humor arising out of quotidian situations; it is the basis of sitcoms, or situation comedies. Situational comedies employ elements of farce, screwball, slapstick, and other types of humor.
19. Slapstick: Comedy in which mock violence and simulated bodily harm are staged for comic effect; also called physical comedy. The name derives from a prop consisting of a stick with an attached piece of wood that slapped loudly against it when one comedian struck another with it, enhancing the effect. The Three Stooges were renowned for their slapstick comedy.
20. Stand-up: A form of comedy delivery in which a comic entertains an audience with jokes and humorous stories. A stand-up comedian may employ one or more of the types of humor described here.
