Re: New stove, it's very dull though.

Sadly I have to leave the real creativity to fingers more capable than mine. Alpkit 400ml Mytimug, meths stove obtainable from the gentleman who battles to keep us lot under control (not sure they're in the BBB shop yet? The 22g one is still superb if not), bioethanol from Wickes I think it was, matches from a cheeky chirpy street urchin in Leighton Buzzard, Titanium sheet from tinternet cut to size which even I could manage with a pair of round-ended scissors with Mrs Perrin supervising, porage from Jordans, ovaltine annoyingly now from Switzerland (or is it Holland?), insulating pad is piece of cardboard sandwiched between two circles of alu foil, eating pot is Waitrose cream pot (much more civilised than scoffing straight from the pan 
). Only bit not sure about is the folding spoon - tipoffs welcome.
As I'm sure you've sussed, whole point of meths stoves is they slow you down - ten minutes staring aimlessly into space is 600 seconds profitably spent.
Welcome to a journey of discovery and pleasure simply taken

(Edit: so busy wittering away that Stuart chipped in succinctly re actual stove which is obv all you wanted to know of course
. Although the Hyperstove doesn't seem to be there yet. Maybe it's tap-side-of-nose under-the-counter merchandise...)
