Tool Hire Deliveries
We’ve been trying from the start of Tool Hire to reach as many orders as possible, but the tools are in demand and we have been limited by how far our Tool Hire van can make it in a day.
We have had some really keen potential Tool Hireys contact us from the far North of Scotland and over the water in the Republic of Ireland, and it has always been a shame when we have had to say that we can’t get the tool to them. We’ve also had some absolute chancers from Australia and the US who will have to wait until Gimp goes on his holidays.
So, it was really nice this week when Kelvin (our master of the Tools) made one of those unfortunate calls and found out that Laura from Aberdeen was so keen to hire a tool she was willing to come and join us for an afternoon of Photo Booth action on the streets of London.
Laura, we are really looking forward to seeing your Photographer handiwork.
In other giffgaff news, Captain Stress Relief has been spotted providing some tactile respite from the snowy conditions on the mean streets of Bristol. Things got so bad that the Captain himself took a tumble on the ice. And I think it is the measure of a true superhero that he has not edited out that gaff from the final take.

Happy belated New Year from the giffgaff team
The tool shedders returned in various states of disrepair yesterday morning to kick start a new year of tool hiring. The general consensus in the shed is that 2009 was brilliant, but 2010 is a new decade, so it is time to take Tool Hire to a new level.
When film directors and screen writers in the 70s and 80s looked forward to 2010 they envisioned hover boards and laser guns, sadly, although our skills are many in the shed, these inventions are still not here. In the meantime though what could be better than a good old cycle powered gramophone, or a superhero who can take away the nation’s post holiday blues.
Christmas may be over, but it’s giving spirit lives on in Tool Hire. Go on, spread a bit of peace, love and madness in 2010.
And to kick start things with some panache here is some caricature artistry from Mr William Gordon.

Hug that tree, hug it like you've never hugged it before.
Er? Cheers lads.
You seem to have taken the cuddle monster to new extremes. We especially enjoyed the cuddle training sessions and the loud hailer. Also you seem to have invented different cuddle styles depending on who you were cuddling...the oldies got a nice, gentle one, the rest of us got the full English. Nice.
Feel free to hire another tool guys, we think Worcester's favourite sons can do more for their people's.

Ogh! Puh! Zut Alors! Pierre meets Swansea
So Pierre went to Swansea wanting to share his artistic genius with his Welsh brethren. Sadly the local authorities didn't think much of his talents and he was subsequently refused to ply his trade in the town centre. But Pierre didn't surrender, no he found a little cafe and continued to offer his caricatures to the locals.
Cheers Josh, a masterpiece if we may say so.

Paperlilies sort of hires Happy feet
So being the well connected people that we are, we got YouTuber Paperlilies to hire out a tool of her choosing. First she wanted Roller Hockey Action Man but that is still in the shed getting repaired after Barnaby's meeting with the wall. Second choice was Happy Feet which we delivered to her doorstep.
We weren't sure what would happen next...would she go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park and hand out wooly socks to the skate hirers? Or would she go off on a complete tangent from the comfort of her house?
Yup, you guessed right.
Thanks Bryony for your hire, it was a work of pure creativity. For everyone else though, stick to the rules. Wooly socks for ice skaters, not for straining tea. Deal?

New tool in the shed
The shed is back and buzzing again, this time with the strange sound of Public School beatings. We're keeping a lid on what exactly the new tool is for the time being...
But, what we will say is that this tool is going to be a real bonus for the public.
Ooh suit you sir!
Ogh!
Er?
H'okay...use your imaginations. Actually maybe not.

This is where we bring you words, images and, if you're lucky, video from Tool Hire's engine room.
