Cod would do, Tim ... and a Pint of bitter.

The size of the sticks in Lew's egyptian game is some five-six-seven times smaller than Tim's device. This would implicate in a huge game apparatus.

Hi Tim
Just to keep it going.
This is a Tanzanian hair pin ( XX century ).
Its lenght is 300 m/m, which might make the difference to the purpose of
your piece. But look at the form... and ins't that a hole in the stick ?

Fernando, that is excellent, that is it!!. The hole must be to keep the pin in place. The chips will be cold and the beer flat by the time you get it. Next time you visit the UK . People from larger drinking countries think in thier unenlightened state that UK beer is flat anyway, well thier wrong ok Thanks again, I like that.

Hi Tim
History doesn't repeat. There goes the time i was wandering around U.K., and my only money could cover fish+ships and a packet of ten cigarettes ... do you still have those ? This time you come here and i'll have you testing boiled dryed cod+boilled potatoes, and actual draught beer.
