    I have no idea about the internal workings of a firearm. I know when it fails to work.
    Fishing reels either work ,or they don't. Thank goodness they do, most of the time!
    Computers, websites, internet, technojargon. A complete and utter mystery to me, but I know when it fails to work!
    I have little understanding of gravity. I know when I drop a brick it hurts if it lands on your foot.
    I have no real clue how a kilt is made. I know when it looks wrong.

    Give me the simple life!
    I like your style Jock but I am a Fixer and from being a small child I have to know how everything works from a car engine to quantum mechanics. It has saved me a lot of money being able to fix things that are broken myself.
    If all the fixers in the world departed to another planet the earth's civilizations would come to a halt as everything broke down. But you told us all how to fix a new hat so all is not lost.

    FAB! Some good stuff in there!
    Hey, ALL, There's still plenty of room for terms and defining them. This is good, and now some of the phrases I read will actually have more meaning in them for me instead of some mystical world of words that keep me in the fog!

    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?
