    x things to do with string
    After seeing Tumbles Exploits with his cables.

    How many things can we think of to use string for??

    I'll start things off -

    holding my glasses on when I'm sailing/kayaking

    I've started another thread for duck tape - longest thread wins
    Life is a game of chess.
    I'm crap at chess.
    Sometimes though, I get lucky.
