My box is made out of pieces of Meccano on one side, Lego on the 2nd
(with a star wars character from the cornflakes box offer sat on top!).
The third side consists of Subbuteo figures (for you yanks - Subbuteo
is a table soccer game - see 'three man army' by Massive Attack) set in
a resin base. One figure is in a Ajax kit - could this be Jan Wouters,
legendary Ajax hardman? (For you yanks again - Ajax are a Dutch soccer
team legendary for their style and skill - though not recently)
The 4th side is made out of string - hemp maybe?
All sides are stuck on a hardboard base by lashings of superglue. The
lid is made out of several of those bacon shape chewy things that you
give to Dogs. Yuk! The CD sits inside with the middle threaded through
a stump of a cut down HB pencil which is attached to the base.
The audio portions include 1 track called the 'offal was offal' and
consists of 5 minutes of groaning followed by the sound of a toilet
being flushed. There is about 10 minutes silence before other tracks
start. I can't seem to get the CD Rom part to start.
Mat.
