Disposal of old fire extinguisher?

What?!  This programme that no one's ever heard of premiered in 2006 and you're going to go and call it "classic?!"  You sir, have clearly taken leave of your senses!

I'll take it if you want to bring it to the challenge. My understanding is they are very study metal and useful for projects. 

I turned one into a dry sump reservoir for my Turner race car.  Worked like a charm!

"Classic" in the sense of "that's a good one." I'm far too old to call the IT crowd "classic" in the sense of "classic car."

Is it a steel or aluminum bodied unit? If it is steel, I may want it. They make good crucibles.

A magnet sticks. So im guessing steel.

Come get it!

I'll pick it up the next time I get down your way.

Well, that's fair, I suppose, as long as you're willing to take that linguistic referential tumble from the Oxford all the way down to the Urban dictionary.

I definitely find myself identifying more with urban dictionary than Oxford. Sorry to disappoint you. I doubt Oxford aficionados would find a fire extinguisher powered shopping cart as entertaining as I do.

We're going to need some photos of the Turner please.

I will concede that point.

As a resident of the U.S.A., I find using the Oxford English Dictionary a bit of a gray area. The OED wouldn't consider it a grey area. And it just gets worse from there!

Actually, I bothered to look it up. Definition 2 of classic: "remarkably and instructively typical." That may not be the exact OED definition, but I'm not paying $90 to look it up.

I think it fits.
