Ah, sounds tasty, Jack. Yes I remember that Secret Aardvark sauce - looks like they make some great condiments.
Nice one mate. Feel free to post that pic. I’ve likewise got a couple of you from when we were out and about in Sheffield that I haven’t posted sans permission.
I appreciate that my friend. I hope you have a great time with your mate visiting from France.
Thanks Dave, I’m glad you like the ebony as well. That’s a fantastic picture.
Thanks for the kind words, Bill. Yes that drink is for sippin’ only, unless you’re a masochist!
Cheers Christian!
Thanks Dwight. I meant to mention that I used to have one of those Matchbox Unimogs. I painted it OD green from memory. I suppose it’s long gone now, but I’ll ask my younger brothers what happened to my Matchbox cars after I left home.
Thanks Greg. Yes, if we were to be exact, I guess it’s more of a faceted grind. In the old days, I would have finished by fully convexing the edge by running it over some fine sandpaper on a leather substrate, but nowadays, my objective is just to reduce the contact area of the Sharpmaker rods to a very small edge area, in order to facilitate swift resharpening. And it improves the cutting feel, obviously, being thinner behind the edge.
Very kind of you my friend.
Cheers Kevin. I’ve been digging your miniatures series of pics lately, so I took the opportunity the other day, to take this quick snap of my three year old nieces 1/64th violin!
Thanks very much Harvey. Likewise my friend - I always enjoy your posts and sumptuous Lambsfoot photography.
I appreciate that Mark.
Cheers Dennis. It’s Bohler Uddeholm D2 with a two day liquid nitrogen cryo quench, then temper x 2.
Ha ha, it’s interesting that tolerance to the superhot chillies builds up quite fast, but fades after a few days of not indulging.
A sip of that Bloody Mary gives a nice heat for a few minutes, then you’re ready for another.
But sometimes I get a reminder not to be too cavalier!
My nemesis is the Trinidad Seven Pot Brain Strain.
I made the mistake of eating half a pod one morning in the garden, on an empty stomach. Oh, it was like having a white hot slug of molten lava sliding slowly down my throat! That really, really hurt, and laid me low for several hours!
Most experienced superhot chilli pepper consumers only sample them after a full meal!
This English bloke does great chilli pepper reviews - he sounds like a stalwart Northerner, and obviously has an extreme capsaicin tolerance - but he was likewise felled by the fearsome Seven Pot Brain Strain!
I hope to be part of the club

Another great oldie Harvey!
Welcome to the Guardians good sir, please be sure to read this Love the cats!
LOL! They are excellent beers I think Vince, and very traditional Your talk of chip butties had me craving one, so I bought a 'round' of them for the guys on the tool-stall
A very nice compliment Dennis. Thank you.Dwight, you make me want to be better with my photos and editing! Wonderful shot!
Thank you Kevin. I appreciate it.I have been enjoying your nature themed Lambsfoot pics lately, good stuff.
There can never be enough ebony!I wonder if the 2020 Guardians will be ebony?
I have loved Unimogs ever since seeing them in the Bolivian jungle performing amazing feats. The ultimate 4x4 imo.Thanks Dwight. I meant to mention that I used to have one of those Matchbox Unimogs. I painted it OD green from memory. I suppose it’s long gone now, but I’ll ask my younger brothers what happened to my Matchbox cars after I left home

Thanks you, Chin, your hot pepper fixation brings tears to my eyes, but I love your photos of those heat bombs! I have a very low tolerance for hot and spicy.
Great photo Harvey, what's the blue mold on that wonderful lambs cover?
Both look good to me.
They leave fairly close together, one in late August and the other early September.Do they leave for school at about the same time?
