No, you still misunderstood, butyou can blame Nick for that.

What are people thinking of drinking harvey's bristol Cream anyway ? Or Blue nun Shame on you. Having said that, I've got one currently hosting a candle, but if I had 6, I would use them to bottle homebrew made out of something strange.

No no honest, it was some strange slightly fizzy Italian stuff.

Has now got a candle in it - but I do like the idea of smashing it up to make a mosaic, perhaps with some green mixed in? Now there's a nice weekend project....

How do you tumble it? I could pinch himself's cement mixer, would that work? I love the glass pebbles you find on the beach. I'd vote for other, and fill it with gravel or sand, and use it as a loo roll holder. Or drink a lot more of it, and make a raised bed or a wall!
