Maybe he is lol.

I doubt it though, we've had some loonies on here recently - but none suggesting they need to earth the watering can before they go out into the garden

Everything, and i mean everything needed earthing lol. From carpet tacks, to window sills. But what made it even funnier, was the fact he wasn't even joking, he genuinley thought it and tried to challenge anyone here who told him he was an idiot.

Type his name into amazon, D.W.Cockburn and read the reviews on his books he's wrote...makes me chuckle everytime.

I bought the book off amazon so we could all have a laugh, i scanned it and sent it to Trev, and posted the hard copy to dillb to send on, i dont know where it ended up.
 
I'll take a look to see if I've still got it, it went to a lot of people and everyone had the same opinion. Absolute drivel.

His second book starts with a sentence something like "The human hand finds it very hard to grasp some things, like electrcial flexes. Now I've never had any problem with that nor has anyone I know so I didn't read much further.

If you've still got it, stick it up - i'd genuinley love to see it, but don't wonna fork out on it lol.

That's probably best opening to a book ever haha. What a legend, haha.
 
Arh the days of Mr Cockburn....I do like his new book..."Fly Fishing,With An Earth Rod"

I do miss his posts they did certainly entertain.

Not as much as the veet review though XD
