Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Nice to see their Tourist Info Office is still open, it must be one of the last in West Yorkshire, but it looks like the antique shop is closing/closed :( Thanks mate, you too, I can see a sausage sandwich on the horizon ;) :thumbsup:

Really? Didn't there used to be one in Hebden Bridge then or am I thinking Haworth. Anyway it's a poor do considering how much money VisitYorkshire or Welcome to Yorkshire (whatever their called this week) have poured into them. :rolleyes:

The toy situation sounds unusual (and kind of creepy :confused:), but the HHB with tiger is a nice photo (that probably makes Sköll jealous)! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

I still enjoy basketball a couple of times per week, but it's no longer a way to rejuvenate myself at lunch hour as it was when I was younger. Now, the rest of the day after basketball is more of a struggle to recover! :eek::rolleyes:

Now you've got me worried! :eek: :D There's a shop in one of the city centre arcades here, which sells stuffed toys, teddy bears, muppets, etc. It's a small shop, and there are absolutely thousands of them hanging on the walls. There's very little room to get inside, but somewhere in the middle of them all sits the proprietor, you can barely distinguish her from the muppets :D I was once passing, and they had a basket full of cut-price Captain Haddocks, so I bought a few of them for my granddaughter, goddaughter, etc. I asked the woman if she ever found it strange, being sat there surrounded by so many stuffed toys, and she seemed to think it was a very odd question :rolleyes: A few doors down, there's a similar shop which sells baby dolls, some of which are very life-like and expensive, and it's crammed in the same way. Now THAT is creepy! :eek:

Great pics GT :) :thumbsup:

That's still there too thankfully, and doing quite well, but a lot have closed. The one in Leeds was the second busiest in the country, with a turnover of £2,000,000 a year, but they closed it to "save money"! o_O

Nice pic David :) :thumbsup:
 
Happy Sunday Guardians! :) I have a ton of stuff to do (it never seems to end), so don't think I'll be having a very restful day, but I'm hoping to get a few things off my list, and catch up with the forum a bit, so that'll be a nice enough Sunday for me :) Treating myself to a Double Lambsfoot Day :D Have a good day folks :thumbsup:

Belated congrats on your successful presentation, John! :cool::cool::thumbsup:
Rosy pic of your rosewood! ;):thumbsup::thumbsup:

It was a pleasure to see Union Jack. Can't wait to see what's next. :cool::thumbsup:

Lambsfoot Jiu Jitsu? ;)

My Sunday Sausage Sandwich :) :thumbsup:

Crikey, I've got to get into the tourism business. :eek: I've a mate who works at York Boats and is sometimes involved with York tourism stuff. There's definitely a lot of people behind the scenes making piles of money from tourism promotion.

Cool photo and history of the flask. :cool::thumbsup:

Thanks chaps, it was inspired by the shot Mark (Ramrodmb) did a few weeks ago of his grandad's hip flask. My grandad (actually my mum's stepdad) was a Flight Sgt in the RAF during WWII, flying bombing missions in every theatre of the war, and I believe that's the flask he carried with him.:thumbsup:

Good Morning Guardians
My wife and I were reminiscing about our Rodeo Days...

That's a great belt buckle John, and a champion to boot. :cool::thumbsup: I hope it gets to see some wear. :thumbsup:
 
donn donn Cool flask, David. Thanks for showing it.:cool:




Jack Black Jack Black I would definitely feel bad about ruining a good knife. Thankfully there are lots of cheap knives out there to collect for practice. The #15 navy knife made a really good user as a lambsfoot because the extra angle created made precision cuts even easier. Not sure whether a #93 would work as neatly.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you took metal off the spine to make the Lambfoot profile wouldn't the angle of the edge in relation to the handle stay the same?
 
I've never been a big comic book reader, and I think the only one I've read in at least 50 years was a "graphic novel" about Bertrand Russell and his mathematical and philosophical contributions. ("Novel" suggests fiction, which what I read wasn't. Is there such a thing as a "graphic biography"?)
"Graphic novel" is a euphemism for "comic book" because some old guys don't want to admit they read comic books. I have fond memories of the comic books I read when I was younger, and I bought reprints of them for my children. I don't currently own much myself, and today's "comics" have zero interest for me.
