    This is going to be pretty vague, but anyway. I was at a gig and I borrowed a lovely zippo off some guy. I just noticed I still have it and i'm looking to return it.

    So here's the deal, if you can tell me what the gig was, and what engraving is on the zippo, i'll post it back to you.

    (I realise i'm basically just running a competition here, but ah well)

    The gig was The Jackson Five. The engraving was just big heavy lines through the five ;)

    Otherwise known as a lighter. Produces fire so you can light your cigarette or burn sh*te. Ever see one of those? Theyre pretty common :pac:

    Well Zippo firelighters usually have a brand name all over the place. So it said Zippo at the bottom of the box.
    Since you were borrowing firelighters, I assume you were doing some dodgy things at Oxegen.

    Actually it was at a recent Hanson gig.

    The Zippo has an illustration depicting a walrus wearing lederhosen defecating on Gwyneth Paltrow.

    You're more than welcome to hang onto it though as I have 12 others just like it in my possession as I'm quite fond of Gwyneth Paltrow... although sadly I'm not overly fond of walruses.

    But if you do ever come across a Zippo lighter with an illustration depicting a narwhal in a tutu defecating on Gwyneth Paltrow then I would be VERY interested in hearing from you.

    I dropped my zippo and before I could empty my hands to get it it disappeared :( It happened quite a while ago, but I was very fond of it and have tried to replace it but can't find the same design.

    If it's sliver, has a 'kokopelli' figure which has lost it's paint (originally filled with turquoisy blue) and has daaft written on the back, yippee :)

    If it doesn't, fair play to you for trying to return it :)

    it was my zippo, I had just stolen it off some guy so I cant remember what the engravings were.
    You were even more drunk than i was and you just walked off with it while i wasnt looking.
    you can keep it...
