    Yep, red hammer... that's spooky.
    Probably something to do with engaging one side of the brain then the other?
    I'd like to hear the explanation behind this tbh.

    I thought of Red hammer after reading the first 2 lines of the post.

    What are the chances of that?

    Oh I remember http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=189259&highlight=red+hammer

    I got read hammer too.....but by reading this thread are you sure red hammer isn't the 2%???? Or is it just that people on boards would never admit red hammer, lest people don't think they're not unique? :confused:
    wha? i thought pink wrench

    LMAO at pink wrench!!!! The most camp thing i've ever heard of! I can just picture Rosco and Lance fixing there bright orange VW beatle covertable at the side te road with that, and with "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" blasting out on the radio! LOL :D

    red hammer , thought that was pretty groovy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,893 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    blue spanner

    i think the explanatin is just that a hammer is one of the most common tools as is red a common colour. nothing fancy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 254 ✭✭sandyg


    Thought of a blue saw!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    blue wrench... wtf?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    actually, since a wrench and a spanner are essentially the same thing, quite a few of us got the same answer - and it wasn't red hammer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 674 ✭✭✭spunkymunky


    orange hammer!!! Weird :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    im a red spanner person too, we're getting ourselves a decent percentage.
