Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[Jack Black]

A little fresh air and exercise is good for the soul.
Lovely picture of your Hartshead.

Thanks buddy

Not a bad tail end to my 2 weeks annual leave of being stuck at home... spent some of my recent long service award from work, just need to adjust the strap now.

Nice watch to go with your Lambsfoot Tim

I don't normally cuss in Blade Forums but in this case, I think it's warranted. I'm getting damned sick and tired of you guys and gals posting pictures of sub-par entrees/food and snacks you're having for various meals you're enjoying throughout the day.

This is a "Man's" meal. I have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. It comes in a bag and I enjoy it from a tube as it flows into my stomach. Yummy!!!!! Just to be clear, it's the yellowish tan stuff in the bag. Makes me giddy just looking at it.

So enjoy your biscuits, sausage, eggs, BBQ, Tacos, Tamales, Cheese Dip, and whatever else you can think of and I'll stick to my liquid steak and lobster, pork and french fries, eggs and bacon, etc..

That is all.

I feel for you Ed Hang in there pal

I was just about to post a pic of the pasta I just had, but I'll leave it a few posts

There was once a family of cutlers in Stannington, on the edge of Sheffield, with the surname Furness, to whom I am related through the marriage of my auntie and Godmother, my father's younger sister. The Furness clan go back a long way, but originally made their way to Sheffield from the Derbyshire village of Eyam. Today, Eyam is a small, pretty village, but it is best known here in England for the selfless decision of the inhabitants, in 1665, to isolate themselves, after plague broke out, having arrived in a bundle of rags transported from London. A stark contrast to the situation here today, where infected people risk the lives of others, rather than miss a single day's pay

I thought you might like to see some photos of Eyam I took on a visit a couple of years back. I can remember visiting Eyam Hall, the grand-looking building, as little more than a toddler, on a Mother's Union trip with my mother and grandmother

So. Which one are you again?

Looks both nutritious and delicious.

All the food groups!

It is David, and the remake was absolutely awful, and thankfully has died without trace Oh yes, definitely, I think stuntmen were superfluous in those days - those actors were hungry and fearless! Here's the great Buster Keaton:

Thanks for that Jack. I'm really going to have to dig into Youtube and look up all these old films.

Sorry Ed. But your right it certainly is a man's meal. Especially if you spill any on the floor. You need explosives to shift it.
Hope your doing well.

What a wonderful tour of an amazing place, Jack!! I owe a debt to the Furness family for producing some now-historical knives!!
What a tragic and heroic history in such a beautiful place!!

Thanks Charlie, six of my cousins are called Furness It is a heroic tale I think Charlie, 260 people sacrificed themselves there, rather than risk spreading the infection to the neighbouring villages

Yes, those are the stocks Charlie They were often placed outside churches. I was reading, just yesterday, that folks who were clamped in them were referred to as 'Babes in the wood', quite clever I thought

No sausage, so made due with bacon BLT, chips, and tomato soup (skulking out of frame).

You're just playing the "Horses Arse" there Jack but I forgive you. You know, if you can't make light of your situation sometimes, you might as well roll over and quit. I'm not a quitter just making light of my eating habits lately.

It's good that you can do so Ed I hope you'll be back to your usual diet soon my friend

That's a great-looking shillelagh, blackthorn is much sought after for walking sticks They play a game in Belfast, where the two sides of the track pretend not to understand each other An Irish-American girl I used to know (Irish parents, born in the US, lives in Belfast) was telling me about how she was talking to another woman one time, and she said to her, "My granddad used to like to take a shillelagh with him when he was out walking." The woman asked her what she had said, so she repeated it. No, she had no idea what she was talking about. So my friend described the shillelagh. "Oh, we would call that a blackthorn stick!" came the reply It's a pretty common thing there

If this knobstick, as they called it, is taken care of by my kids and grandkids it should last as long as my grandfathers walking stick that he got in 1881. Shown in this picture I took a while back for another thread.

 

[Half/Stop]

K K33ncutter Les, that’s a nice story about your grandfathers walking stick. Sorry, But your Spyderco Lum does not belong in this thread.

 

[Half/Stop]

Jack Black Thanks for the history and photos Jack! The story about the plague are maybe more relevant today than a lot of people might realize. Too bad most of them probably don’t read our Lambsfoot thread!

So. Which one are you again?

I’m the one that’s overweight David!

Good grief Les, get that modern knife out of here before you're tarred and feathered!!!!

Or worse!!!

How long does it take to edit a picture?! Please read the sub-forum guidelines, and post #1 of this thread

The stick is a great heirloom Knobstick is an old word, and while both sides carried and used the same weapons, 'Knobstick' is an old word for a scab during an industrial dispute, pre-dating the latter word, which I don't think came into use until the 19th century

Sorry for the egregious error. My apologies.

Pretty grim great house.
Sweet church. How old is the standing cross?

Rosie looks well-loved Willie, good to have you back (don't miss my giveaway!)

Thanks Jack. She's gotten some mileage in the last few months. Someday she might catch up with your hhb, but I doubt it. I saw your GAW, I've been racking my brain to come up with a way to enter but I'm afraid most all of my jokes aren't porch friendly.

I feel like watching The Seventh Seal. You know, in honour of Max von Sydow.
