    I just know that none of you guys have ever done this, but today i bid on an eBay auction and bought the second old Coleman lamp I DON'T NEED. If I was Catholic I'd go confess.

    Of course, now i wish it was here and i could be messing about with it.

    I'm sure a wise man once explained the difference between "want" and "need".

    I just don't remember the difference :D/

    Difference between need and want. If you need it, you don't really want it, but if you want it, then you really do need it!

    It's partly how I ended up with so many telescopes and at one point I had a lot more than I have now... this expression on my wife's face was quite familiar [-X

    As opposed to mine when the next one arrived :D/
