Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Jack Black said:
Blimey, the bad news just seems to keep coming! :( I just heard from one of my best pals. His elderly sister collapsed on Boxing Day, and had to go into hospital - where she has Coronavirus, and because of her age and underlying health conditions, is not expected to survive. Not only can he not see her now, but he thinks both he and his nephew may have also contracted the virus :(

I used to recommend that place, known them a long time, through various incarnations, but I wouldn't give them another carrot I'm afraid :( :thumbsup:

Michael May just buys his blades and springs from Wright's, and from what I've seen, his QC is no better o_O :thumbsup:

I am sorry to hear that, I had my eyes on a couple of knives there.

The list is a good thing but finding knives from these makers is like looking for chicken teeth!

Most of the folks here who've had knives from Michael May have not been impressed with them unfortunately, if anything his QC seems to be even worse than Wright's :( :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, not too many options available here in terms of what to do I'm afraid, but I might have a walk up the road and buy some bread, if I can find any :rolleyes: Hope everyone has a great weekend :) :thumbsup:

I don’t know if this will be of much help, but I’ve started saving all my old PMs as webarchive files before deleting them. (I didn’t realize until reading the Wikipedia article that I linked there that this was something exclusive to the Safari browser.) It saves a webpage exactly as it currently exists for offline viewing in the future. It works great for saving PMs, and I’ve been using it since the BF software switch.

I want to "tip my hat" to Barrett for this suggestion! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:

I had some PM "conversations" going recently, and last night I happened to notice that my inbox was within 3 messages of being full. I started to follow my usual practice of copying an entire old conversation, then pasting it into an empty text document (usually Word), then editing to improve formatting. I'd repeat this process a number of times until I had a document containing several old conversations I wanted to save, and then start a new document for the next set of conversations. I was in the middle of the tedious editing of the first conversation I copied when my subconscious suddenly reminded me that I had read something recently about saving old PMs, and I recalled that Barrett had mentioned saving them as web archives. So, without searching for the details, I tried it myself (since I had saved some things in the past as web archives). It worked like a lambsfoot slicing through a green seedless grape! :):cool::thumbsup:

This morning I relatively quickly saved the oldest half of my conversations and then deleted them from the inbox. In a quick and painless process, I soon had lots of space available without losing access to interesting old PMs. I searched for Barrett's message so I could reproduce it here in expressing my gratitude!

BTW, I'm carrying my Lam Jack this week. Here's a pic from January 2018:

I'm just rounding off my evening with a weightier version of one of my favourite Porters, brewed by some friends up in North Yorkshire (can't taste much vanilla in this one, I have to say) ;) :thumbsup:

Very nice Jack, Bad Kitty is a damned fine brew; glad to hear Brass Castle are still going. They keep coming up with different version of it; I can't keep up. :)

I'm not Jack but I just checked on-line and they are still there. I think (really hope) that most shops with a internet presence able to conduct business on-line will survive this rough patch. Lambfoot knives they have but with the exception of Michael May and those I refuse to name, all others have stainless steel blades.

Thanks for that. I'm not hopeful though as Sheffield Scene also had an online shop (for certain items) and that didn't help them.

Thought I'd go for a walk in thick freezing fog this morning with the rosewood big 'un for company. :thumbsup:
