The beauty of Internet phones mate! Currently sat waiting to see client, so strictly speaking getting paid for logging onto bftb! Although as she's a nursing home manager I'm currently surrounded by mental folk! So that's in both the real world and on bftb!!!

That sounds so much more fun than messing around with screwdrivers. I'm going to try that tonight! Cheers guys.

Once the limbs have been "popped" you will still need to split the crotch, but you have more room once the legs are gone, when the crotch is split it is much easier to prise apart with the arms out of the way. If the torso is being stubborn you then have the option of trying to prise apart through the arm holes.

I use stanley knife to split the crotch, and then use a large penknife to prise the two halves.

Usually you dont need to "pop" the arms, but I generally do .... just in case.

Shall I use the "donate" button for your commission Baron, or send it in used bank notes. Don't suppose you accept unmarked bullion do you?

Diamonds, for preference. But I will accept gold bullion in this instance.
