Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Been trying to post some photos but having trouble with Imgur, been going on for at least a day, anyone else having issues?
 
Look good! I might go get some funky IPA soon!
Go for it Taylor! :D I always enjoy seeing your pics buddy :) :thumbsup:
Afternoon Guardians. Happy trails!

Crisp and clean David :) :thumbsup:
Hello Guardians. Starting to get a little green around here. 😉👍View attachment 2132524
Looking good Todd :cool: Really nice wallet too :) :thumbsup:
Great photo Pete :col: :) :thumbsup:
Same here, i cannot even look at one. 🤮.
Far too sickly for me, I wasn't even bothered about them as a kid! :D
Thanks Jack, It's a coal miners safety lamp. Both of my Grandpas worked in the coal pits of Hamilton when they were young. My brother has my grandpas original old lamp. I was gifted a pair of these by a client some years ago when I told her of my heritage.

I thought so Steve, Yorkshire was a big coal-mining area, so I see the lamps - known as Davy Lamps here - pretty regularly. It's nice to see more of yours :) One of my great grandfathers was a miner prior to WW1, and my grandfather's brother, on the other side of the family, when he was young. I dare say, a few of my other ancestors will have dug coal too. I've seen the price of the old lamps steadily increase in price, even the conversions. I just noticed I have a mini one on my window-sill, with some other oddments :D Very interesting my friend, thanks for the reply :) :thumbsup:
Looks like you got some good stuff at the Chili Shop, Jack! The Sheffield Wednesday sauce looks interesting, but I’m not sure about “Founder Member Flavour”… 🤨🤣
They have a huge range Barrett, but it's hard to see the wood for the trees! :D Putting local sports teams on sauces is bound to sell a few I reckon! :D I think the 'Founder Member' line is a reference to Wednesday being a founder member of the football league, but there's also a reference, on the side of the bottle, to 'The Oldest Ingredients in the World', which I think is an error. Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest football teams in the world, but the oldest is Sheffield FC, a different club ;) Since they have a comparatively tiny fan-base, it probably isn't good business to name a sauce for them! :D :thumbsup:
What is this “green” of which you speak? 🤨😉 We’ve got some driveway markers at the end of the driveway (mostly to keep the snowplow drivers from jumping the curb and tearing up the yard, which happened once). Anyways, they’re 48” tall (minus the 4” or so that’s sunk into the ground), and top the pile of snow that I’ve shoveled next to the driveway all winter is just now getting below the top of those markers. 🤣
Good grief! :eek: :D Hope you get some green soon brother! :D :thumbsup:
Recycled pic, dreaming of summer. 😉

Great pic Barrett :) I haven't had Stingo in a while. Happy memories :) :thumbsup:
Thanks! The Ironwood on those 2019 Guardians Lambs really was fantastic!

Nice to see that pic without the 'accessories'! 😜🤣:thumbsup:

It seems OK here Leon, hope it's working for you soon mate :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, hope your week has got off to a good start. I have some things to do indoors today, not least some actual work! :eek: Hope you all have a good day :) :thumbsup:

That is a New One on me. But Beautiful.
Thank you kindly. A friend had some wood veneer made from this, so I said why not! It just so happened that Michael May had some blocks in his workshop and agreed to make one. I was surprised by the density.

Thanks Jack. That the wallet Jeremy sbh06 sbh06 made for me, it’s broken in nicely. 😎👍

Thanks Jack, I had forgotten that they were called Davy Lamps 👍

Nice pic of your HHB !

Thank you Steve, when I still attended local flea-markets regularly, I used to come across quite a bit of old mining paraphernalia. It can be quite expensive though, simply because of the sheer number of former miners, and their descendants living locally. The same is true of pocketknives in Sheffield antique shops :thumbsup:
Nice pairing Jer, Happy Double Lambsfoot Day :) :thumbsup:

Spring can't come soon enough. Ebony lamb is looking good my friend.
Outstanding Pete. Hard to beat Ebony.

Good looking Lamb, I like the covers. What is the Arkansas-shaped wood item?



Those Albers Lambs are stunning. I’m kind of hoping he sticks to one cover material for a couple drops, just to spread the love a bit. 🙂



Spring has to come eventually… right?! 😵‍💫

Classy Drink with a classy lamb, Barrett. Well done buddy.

They have a huge range Barrett, but it's hard to see the wood for the trees! :D Putting local sports teams on sauces is bound to sell a few I reckon! :D I think the 'Founder Member' line is a reference to Wednesday being a founder member of the football league, but there's also a reference, on the side of the bottle, to 'The Oldest Ingredients in the World', which I think is an error. Sheffield Wednesday are one of the oldest football teams in the world, but the oldest is Sheffield FC, a different club ;) Since they have a comparatively tiny fan-base, it probably isn't good business to name a sauce for them! :D :thumbsup:

Have a great day, Jack !!!! Can never go wrong with that bad boy in your pocket.
Shuttle lamb is so cool. Got one for my son and can't wait for him to get here so I can give it to him. Great photo Jer.
 
Been trying to post some photos but having trouble with Imgur, been going on for at least a day, anyone else having issues?

I was having trouble on Sunday, not with uploading to or posting photos from Imgur, but with them loading super slow on BF. Seems ok now, though.

I’ve been to places like that. Can make it tough to choose something.

That makes more sense about the Sheffield Wednesday sauce. 😉 I was afraid it meant a founding member of the club, and might taste like some 19th century footballer named Horace… 🤣

Great pic Barrett :) I haven't had Stingo in a while. Happy memories :) :thumbsup:

Thanks, Jack. That was the only time I had it, but I remember it being quite good!

I’ve got quite a few seasonal beers left over from Christmas that I need to get into before we get too far out of winter.

Nice to see that pic without the 'accessories'! 😜🤣:thumbsup:

🤣🤣

Classy Drink with a classy lamb, Barrett. Well done buddy.

Thanks, Paul!

I let the girls choose where we ate breakfast this morning. 🙄🤣
