HOW To now first go down to your nearest tandys or any good shop and look for a security bit and socket set. dont ask em if theyve got it because thatll be suss and they probably wont sell it to ya. just go in there and browse about antil you find it. i didnt think the little fag at the counter was gonna sell it to me but he did. you should be able to pick one up for about $20 and it comes with a whole rang of goodies including: security torx bits, security hex bits, tri-wing bits, spanner (slotted) bits, security hex bits (imperial sizes), torque bits, hex nut sockets and a right angle driver. thats a 42 piece set and to me that seems like a pretty good deal. im not sure what a lot of these are for (the tri wing ones are what buildings use to screw bolts into the wall:) but where gonna use the metric security hex bit. now look for the box on the side of your house its normally cream coloured. if you cant find it follow the phone line from were you plug the phone in. once yuv found it open it up and find where it says test line (there should be a plug in it) then plug in ya phone and check to see if it works. if it doesnt then make sure the line is properly connected to the phone and the phone box if it does work wait till dark then run down the road to to some fags house and connect your phone in. if you can hear them talking rip out the line and run. if there is knowone on the phone then call the cops and chat to him a while about how your gonna kill him and rape his mum to death;) any way whatever you do have fun. written and thought of by Mearl Man
