Hmm, I think like Chas I'm more a 1.5.

I try and try to be restrained, then suddenly Noid Phals in the supermarket refuse to stay out of my basket (I'll be posting pics when I get home of the two which I couldn't get to stay on the shelf last night. )

Lovecats, the english word 'skewer' can mean both metal and wooden ones so you are right to ask, but here on Orchid Board we always mean the wooden ones. The wood absorbes some of the moisture arround them and so if they are damp when you pull them out you know the medium is still moist.
