    Probably not to everyones taste though. Now you have the white one, will you be looking for all the other colours :)

    Sometimes you just have to go with what's handy. I did this in 2004 whilst fettling the burner. ::Neil::

    As you're in Oz, I'd say you should get a local craftsman to throw a vase out of local clay!
    Would be neat as hell and unique! :mrgreen:
