There's an allen key somewhere in my flat. Where?

I just stared at your post for a good minute wondering what the fuck an alien key is. Anyway, it is in that kitchen drawer underneath the one with the tea towels in.

You will find it in an old ice-cream tub along with a puncture repair kit, some keys whose use you cannot fathom, a valve for pumping up a football, two buttons and some dead AAA batteries.

Tried the kitchen drawers. And various other drawers. And the icecream tub substitute (it has a 10 year old miniature TV in it). And both my "boxes of stuff".

The allen key is with the leftover spare parts from IKEA furniture that you were saving "just in case".

I know that. The question is where I put them.

Incidentally, dogbeak, I've lost my football inflator valve. Can you help?

Time to start thinking outside the box.

Have you got a desk tidy? Try there.

What's an allen key? An allen wrench?

Check everything you have ever contructed with one to see if it is taped to the back. That's the kind of thing my in-laws do.

I think I've got several, but there's only one where I know why I should have it.

It'll turn up in the back pocket of your jeans no doubt. But not until after you've popped off to Focus DIY to buy one of those Allen key sets on a key ring for a couple of quid.

The allen key is in the kitchen, with colonel mustard.

On a bookshelf, where you just left it for a bit until you found somewhere permenant to put it.

I don't want to get all Crocodile Dundee, but - wrench? That's not a wrench.

In the US any number of tools are called a 'wrench'.
