I know, I know. It would be better as the rim of a conventional brazier.

That just means your brazier needs to put out more heat. Try a nice big butane burner with an air premix.

I think Iāll just get on with sorting Private Eye #s 1383 - 1546 into date order ready to go into plastic packets and silver lever-arch files when those arrive, possibly tomorrow. (#s 1222 - 1382 are already filed, but I got a little behind when they stopped doing the silver files at Staples.)

The real difficulty is going to be finding anywhere to keep thirteen absolutely full A4 files. And I do mean anywhere! If we got rid of one of the Encyclopaedia Britannicas (1911 and 1954) the files could go where they are, but I donāt really want to even if all human knowledge is on the internet somewhere so I donāt actually need them; if nothing else, it would be silly to keep the volume with my fatherās article in it and ditch the rest, as well as making the set no use to anyone else ā not that anyone else would want it anyway, but you know what I mean. Getting rid of it would mean throwing it away, and that seems somehow Wrong.

Keep the 1954. Find a home for the 1911. Shipping it to Norway would probably be prohibitively expensive, thoughā¦

I was thinking of the other way round: the content of the 1954 is almost certain to be mostly-available elsewhere, that of the 1911 a lot less so. On a practical level, the 1954 is not printed on India paper so it takes up a lot more shelf-space.
Mind you, I am unsure whether having books in the house which contain instructions for making explosives for household use is necessarily prudent.
