Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

It’s worse than it looks in the picture. . That’s the last time I visit s&$@@ c!:&$

Sorry to hear that Pete You're welcome to modify my Barber Brian joke

A bloke goes to get a haircut at Barber Brian’s. Brian asks him if he’s going on holiday this year, and the bloke says he’s going to Rome. “Rome?” Brian says, “Why Rome?”

”I’ve always wanted to go", says the bloke. “I love Italian food, I’m fascinated by Roman history and architecture, and I’m a Catholic, so I want to go to go to St Peter’s Square, and see the Pope.”

“I think you’ll be disappointed.” Brian tells him. “I went last year, and the food was rubbish, the architecture’s worse than Leeds, and if you get to see the Pope, you’ll just see a little bloke off in the distance.”

“That doesn’t sound very good, but it’s all booked now,” the bloke says. He pays Brian, and goes.

Next month, he’s back. “Aren’t you that bloke who was going to Rome?” Brian asks.

“Yeah,” says the Bloke. “I had a fantastic time! The food was absolutely delicious, I saw the Coliseum, the Pantheon, and the Roman Forum.”

“What about the Pope?” Brian asks.

“Well, when we got there, the square was packed, and we could barely see him, but then he pointed his staff right at me, and stepped forward. The crowd parted like the Red Sea before Moses, as he walked towards us. And then, as he got within six feet of me, he suddenly said, “Where the Hell did you get your hair cut?!”

Pete, I haven’t been in a barbershop in over 30 years. I just let my hair grow and now I just have to grab my pony tail and snip off an inch or two. Of course being a school teacher in SF allowed me to pretty much wear any way I wanted. I’m with Jack it doesn’t look bad. I’m inserting a thumbnail pic as to not scare folks.

Until a few years ago, I cut my own hair, with clippers, for decades It's still quite short, but longer than it has been for years. Last winter, I took my flat-cap off for a bit, and I lost count of the number of people, some of whom I've known for a decade or more, who told me they'd always thought I was bald!

HHB is aging gracefully Jack!

Thanks buddy

Love that barber joke!

Thanks David, I made it up after Barber Brian messed my hair up! I must have told it to half of Leeds, and it gets longer every time I tell it!

I am just learning about the history of the lambsfoot, but I love the blade shape and the beautiful knives. As a poker player and novice knife collector, I knew I had to have this GEC 88 on first sight. The shield is perfect and I love Micarta. I’ve decided to carry this knife and use it, although I will protect it in it’s slip.
I’m on the hunt for a true lambsfoot knife next .

Wish me run good, I’m raising.

Small world!

Named after different Guthries, and neither of them were Woody Guthrie!

Aw! That's nice that you and Eleanor were able to go to the theatre Barrett Eleanor is looking quite the young lady, glad she enjoyed it Looks like a great theatre

Thanks, Jack. Don’t be fooled, it probably took about 30 pictures to get one where she wasn’t making a crazy/silly/weird face!

It’s a nice theater, and we lucked into front row seats for this show, which was fun.

That Endless Bridge is cool Barrett, am I right in thinking it's used for loading, like this elevator on the Grand Theatre in Leeds, (which I find impressive, but is not architecturally striking)?

No, nothing practical like that. It’s more of a look-what-we-can-do architectural feature. Inside the “bridge” is a long back-and-forth ramp between the 4th and 5th floors of the building, and at the end you can go onto a sort of tiered concrete deck that looks out over the Mississippi River. The scale of it might be a little deceiving in the photo. It extends out 178 feet from the side of the building.

I forgot to include this pic of the stairs leading into the building in my post last night. You can see the underside of the Endless Bridge reflected in the glass above the doors.

I'll eat no matter the name. Never had it with cheese, but I'd try it.

I like cheese as much as the next person, but I can assure you that it is not an improvement to chicken fried steak.

I went for a haircut this morning and walked out with a Mohawk. I did not request a Mohawk.

Oh no! I once got a mullet that I didn’t ask for.

For years my dad cut his own hair with the vacuum cleaner!

A couple years ago there was an interview with George Clooney where he said that he used the same device to cut his own hair. My dad would’ve gotten a kick out of that (especially because O Brother, Where Art Thou was one of his favorite movies).

What a cool image Greg!

Appreciate it, Dwight. Hope you’ve been well, my friend

I love Taxi Driver but not this much Jack!

Doesn’t look too bad, bro.

All the good barbers are dead. I'm at the age where most barbers are younger than me, and none of them know how to cut hair. I want an old-fashioned haircut.

Good barber a dime a dozen these days. I miss a straight razor neck shave with warm shave cream. Hard to find that type of service anymore

Tried a new barber last week. He is in his eighties so might not be around for much longer, but he was worth it just for that reason, a neck shave with warm shave cream. I had forgotten how good they are and felt.

Welcome to the Guardians Stix! Great pics there Good luck in finding a true Lambsfoot, and in your cards!

LOL! I had to look! Very interesting Barrett

Oh, sorry mate, completely misunderstood! I didn't realise it was anything like that size either During the 1966 football World Cup, which was held in England, some of the matches were played at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough ground. The club used the extra cash they got from this to build a new stand, which I think was only the second in the country, at the time. I think that was the first time I heard the term 'cantilever'

I forgot to include this pic of the stairs leading into the building in my post last night. You can see the underside of the Endless Bridge reflected in the glass above the doors.

That's another cool photo Barrett

LOL! I recently went off cheese for some reason, the cheeseburger I had at the weekend was the first time I've had any cheese since March

Oh no! I once got a mullet that I didn’t ask for.

Back in the late 1980's, we were just about to go away on holiday, and my missus went to get her haircut at a unisex place near Sheffield University. To this day, I still regret not going in, and punching the guy!

Amazing!

My grandfather used to cut his hair with a cheap device which was advertised in newspapers here 50 years ago - basically a comb and a razor blade! He barely had any hair, but I can still recall when he decided to give me a 'trim', it just dragged the hair out of your head!

A couple years ago there was an interview with George Clooney where he said that he used the same device to cut his own hair. My dad would’ve gotten a kick out of that (especially because O Brother, Where Art Thou was one of his favorite movies).

Incredible!

Leeds city centre is full of expensive barbers shops, run by middle-class hipsters with prison tattoos, oiled beards, and stupid-looking haircuts. They do shaves, some of them, but they charge a fancy penny, and who wants to get shaved by a feller who doesn't know how to shave himself?!

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is doing well, and that your week got off to a good start. I had a bad night's sleep again, so I'll be napping at some point, and definitely heading to Charlie's for a re-fuel! Got rain forecast for the next couple of days unfortunately, including a couple of thunderstorms. Have a good day everyone, and enjoy carrying your Lambsfoot knives

Good news nap lovers!

Of course, they'll probably be saying something different next week!

Called in Charlie's

That advert for MD2020 is a classier image than Mad Dog evokes in me.

Still quiet in Leeds city centre, a lot of folks don't know the bus-strike is over. I thought I'd get lunch in the market

 

[Onebigbill]

I just took a pic of my beloved Hartshead Barlow, and realised it's my 3000th photo of this knife!

Here it is in 2019

Your HHB is just like you Jack; getting better with age.

I’d be reconsidering for sure

 

[Jack Black]

It's been raining all day here, and, apart from my lunch, it was pretty miserable in town, so I picked up some shopping, and headed back home
