    I thought the computer mouse would be a good one. Especially the old mac ones. The originals.

    Can I pitch in here with a vote for my own pans:

    Had these seven years now and still look and feel like they did when they were new :)

    If anyone is still interested, I got an answer from Alessi, regarding the Juicy Salif's Centre Pompidou logo. It doesn't make much sense if you ask me, but at least now I know : )

    With pleasure we would like to inform you that the Designer developped the project inside the Pompidou centre (he has got a laboratory and he also followed the restiling). 


    For this reason you found the Centre Pompidou's logo.

    The Land Rover - designed for a purpose but with a functional handsomness all of its own. Even the modern day Land Rover Ninety is instantly recognisable as a descendant of the original Series One.

    I also think that, like the Mini, it is one of the few truly classless cars - you can fill one with hay and take it off across a farmers field, or drop an A list celebrity off at a film premiere in one, and it won't look out of place in either setting.

    The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.

    Surely you mean the crowbar - unchanged in centuries and perfectly utilises the laws of mechanics at their simplest and most effective!

    Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.
