This one could break the forum Harvey!Good Morning Guardians
Thanks Bob. It was surprisingly good coffee. Went back down for another cup!
Thank you Todd.This one could break the forum Harvey!
That's why they are so great. They just work.
Vince, your Lambfoot looks in fine fettle.
Thanks, Harvey. The rosewood handle is perfect, and so is the "walk and talk" of this particular knife. One of my best, I think. (Thanks,

Please feel free to skip the next bit 
I hadn't realised how swollen my left foot and ankle was until I tried to put on my boots to go out last night! I wore something else, and walked down to my pal's to give them all their presents, then we caught a bus up to the pub. We had decided to go to a place called the Black Sheep Brewery Tap - Black Sheep is a brewery based 50 miles away, so I'm not sure why they would have a Leeds-based brewery tap, but we thought we'd give it a go. They had some live music on though, loud, and not very good, (Leeds has a large music college which comes with mixed benefits). We couldn't really have a conversation there, so we tried another pub, but it was very crowded. My mate has a party to go to tonight, so we decided to call it a night, but not before he had told me something alarming. His son, Cillian, had had a conversation with his head-teacher in which he'd told her about his friend Jack, who had a house full of guns and knives! I'm not sure what else was said, but the teacher was in a state of some panic, and rang my mate's missus. She told her that I did not have any guns, but volunteered that I did have a lot of knives, as I was a collector, and wrote about them, and that I'd given one to Cillian, (at his dad's request), but that he was only allowed to use it under supervision. What else was said, by her or Cillian, I don't know, as I suspect I was getting a rather sanitised version, but law-abiding people get their doors kicked in for this kind of thing here 
Have a good day Guardians 
Sorry, Jack. I hope everybody has a better day than you just did.Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and ready to see in a new year - 2023 - sounds like science fiction!
I'm afraid that my run of bad luck is still ongoing
We decided to walk home, as it's downhill, and there's a convenient series of connected alleyways, which run all the way from where we were, directly to my street, and then onto my friends. It's usually a pleasant walk, and a nicer alternative to the main road. Over the past couple of years though, an initiative aimed at reducing car use, has been encouraging people to cycle down the route, without any additional maintenance to the footpath. We were walking along, when I suddenly went flying, falling quite badly. After my friend had helped me up, I had a look at what had caused my fall, and there was a small section of tarmac, which had been used to fill a hole, and immediately next to it a rut 6 inches deep! As the edge of my foot had caught the tarmac, my right ankle had been turned by the adjacent drop, and I'm surprised I didn't break it. I did end up with a badly grazed knee, an injured elbow, a jarred back, and the issue of TWO sprained ankles, which is going to make life rather difficult!

Thanks pal
Thank you my friend
Yeah, I'm not going out until then Jeff (probably not be going out for a few days!)!!Jack, stay safe until tomorrow and then . . . TURN THE PAGE! You gotta start fresh, man, and get this negative junk behind you. I'm gonna take my best whisky and drink a toast tonight to your new beginning, a year of blessings! Hang in there, bud. RALF, currently in pocket, sends his best wishes, too.
Many thanks, it's not getting me down, I'm just a bit astonished! 
My very best to you and RALF, and all the good folks here
And nobody in the pub noticed 
My pal has just spoken to the security guard, and he confirmed the details, but said he'd still not heard anything about it from his bosses 
It's not a good idea to shoo an air rifle with no pellet in it. Can damage the air rifle.I learned last night about a local incident, which is straight out of a movie! My mate was telling me he went to get a few things from a local supermarket on Xmas Eve, but when he got there it was deserted, apart from a load of cops, some of whom had guns! He decided to go for a pint in the pub next door, and find out what had happened, but nobody had even noticed anything. It took him a few days to find out, and it turned out two n'er do wells had gone into the supermarket, blatantly stealing a load of stuff, and then attempting to walk out with it. When the security guard challenged them, they produced an AIR RIFLE, and threatened him! He wasn't having any of it, and grabbed hold of the barrel, to take it off them. The scumbags managed to hang onto the air rifle, but drop everything else, and depart. They then decide to go for a drink - in the pub next door! The cops still haven't shown up, so they have a few pints, and then decide to give the supermarket another go! The security guard won't let them in again, so they shoot him with the air rifle, which they've forgotten to put a pellet in! At this point the cops finally appear, and the two scumbags are taken into custody!
Talking to a policeman friend I have here he has been telling me that the reason most criminals get caught is because they aren't too smart.
So nice to see you posting your Lambsfoot, Vince.
Dang, Jack!!!
