Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

It's like he cut it on the left hand side, and just forgot to cut the other side! I doubled the cost of the haircut with a tip too! 🤨I'm annoyed about having to go back, I have a real simple haircut, and cut my own hair for 30 years. I only go to see Brian because I like the guy, and don't want him to go bust, but a half-blind barber is as useless as Old Don from Casino :rolleyes:

Hope you were able to get it sorted, Jack. I got a haircut yesterday, but thankfully she did the whole thing. 😉

Sounds like an insult when you put it that way. 😲😉

Good afternoon Guardians, Ray, our pal, who is on the next stall, is on holiday this week, so I went down to the market even earlier than usual, to keep Tool Man company, and help him out. It was raining very heavily when I left though, and did so until mid afternoon. Consequently, it was pretty quiet in the market, and the kids are off school this week for half-term, which always makes thing worse. I door-stepped Barber Brian, but I'll be finding another barber, or going back to clipping it myself :rolleyes: I treated Tool Man to his favourite cake, which is sold in the market as "School Slice", maybe because it went out of the back door of a school kitchen! :D Despite the weather, we had a good day, and I hung on long enough to say Hello to Mrs Tool Man, when she arrived around 3.30pm. It's their wedding anniversary today, so they're going out for a pub meal this evening :D Hope everyone else has had a good day :) :thumbsup:

I’m glad you had a good day at the market, Jack. Nice pics! :thumbsup:

How does Mrs. Tool Man feel about being referred to as Mrs. Tool Man? 😉😁

Always comes around Halloween. Makes it easy to plan for. Gives me something to moan and groan about but in reality, it's nothing to complain about. Just proves I've go a spot in the world to call my own. :)

Great outlook, Ed. 🙂

After dropping Eleanor off at school, Scout and I went for donuts. (Sorry about the messy donut-mouth smile.) 🍩😀

I felt like I was channeling cigarrodog cigarrodog a bit with this Lambsfoot and apple fritter photo. 🙂

We ran a few errands, then came home for Scout’s nap and a cup of builder’s tea for me.

Thanks, John. It got me thinking about this GAW thread from a few years ago:

The "Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery" GIVEAWAY!! WINNER ANNOUNCED!!

I think we can all agree that photographs are one of the things that make the Porch so great. Sure, talking knives is fun, but deep down, what we all really want is to see those beautiful traditional knives. Warm stag, jigged bone, stamped bolsters, the polished blade of a new knife or the...

My 5000th Post Traditional Fixed-Blade Giveaway - Do we have a winner?!

This is my 5000thpost on Bladeforums, and despite recently losing a good few of my Traditional posts to the Rowdy House, (for reasons I'll not go into ;) ), most of my posts are here. My post count has really crept up on me, and so Im doing this in a bit of a hurry. My usual apologies for the...

That's good news Barrett :D I told Brian I'd come back for the rest of my haircut 🤨 One of the tool stall regulars told me that he was once waiting for a haircut there, and the bloke in front of him got in the chair. Brian asked him how he'd like his hair cutting, and he replied, "Just don't %&$@ it up like you did last time!" :eek: :D

Thanks pal, I don't think she's aware of it! :D Tool Man always calls her 'Lolly', and the rest of us either call her the same, or 'Lorraine' :)

LOL! :D :thumbsup:
 
I was planning to go out for a walk tomorrow, even packed my bag, but I just checked the weather forecast, and it looks like rain could be in all day :( We've had an unusually mild Autumn so far, but the Met Office reckon temperatures are set to drop to a more seasonal level next week :rolleyes: Hope everyone has finished their working week now, and that you're set for a good weekend :) cudgee cudgee hasn't dropped in for a couple of days, so I hope he's having a good one :thumbsup:

Think I'm going to hang onto Lucy for the weekend, but she's going back in her box for tonight ;) :thumbsup:

Evening Guardians. Got this large IXL two blade Lambsfoot with compressed fibre covers in the mail today. Has half stops and a square pivot end. Which I didn't know square pivot end knives were still being built when this knife was made. Interesting knife and I'm glad to have it.
