Glad it went smooth, Bob. Lovely K'roo!!
No big deal, Jack. Nights are quite and peaceful most of the time. Only problem is that I eat everything within arms reach from utter boredom.Sorry to hear about the shifts Paul, but it's nice to see you call in, and I like your pic there
Hope everyone is doing wellI felt kind of weird and disorientated all day, and had to borrow Tool Man's knife to cut up cake, and perform a couple of other tasks
While it overshadowed my day, the weather has been excellent, and Tool Man had a good day, though his stall was unrecognisable, as it was mostly covered with modern tools. It turns out that Tool Man had bought a huge haul off a guy who was being forced to sell them, a colleague of bus driver Otley Mick. It turns out that the bus-driver's canteen has a pretty Brazilian working there, and this feller got more friendly than he should. His missus slung him out, along with all his belongings, which is how Tool Man came by the guy's tools. It's an ill wind...as they say
They may be selling well, but the modern tools are a big step-down in quality, compared to Tool Man's usual stock, so I didn't see much of interest. Boring Ray, who had got a load of other stuff, from the same source, via Tool Man, gave me this comic annual for a publication, which paid a brief, but significant, part in British comic history
From what I could see they were plastic fakes/children's toys!Maybe he's still in training!
It's amazing what Loopy Juice will do to some people!
The list of nicknames is great. I also enjoyed this little factoid: “A diet of four bottles a day has been described as ‘not conducive to a long life’ in a Scottish court.”
Submitting application to join the club.
These are 8670 Carbon steel, SS liners/bolsters, bronze washers. Modeled after an A. Wright and Sons Sheffield lambs foot. The markings were made using a Gravograph pantograph engraver manually with scratch bit on top of a resist, then electro etched. The same technique was used on the leather slips I made to 'scar' it to show the letters. One is iron wood, one is double red canvas micarta, and the shadow pattern is olive drab green canvas micarta with brass pins, birdseye pivot
Thanks Lads. Been a very quite one. Days of getting on the tiles well and truly over.
How's everyone doing? I've been to town, and got most of my missions accomplished, but before that, I called in at Charlie's. The cafe was packed, and the Italian couple holding the fort were struggling, not least since they only speak a few words of English. I was just speaking to an American guy, and waiting for my coffee, when half a dozen middle-aged guys walked in. All were smartly, and almost identically, dressed, with long black coats. I wasn't sure if they were the Salvation Army or the Cosa Nostra! They turned out to be pallbearers, and had been given 20 minutes away, to go and get a bacon sandwich and a coffee, while a funeral service was going on in the church just up the road. I was too close to take a snap at the counter, but when they sat down, I asked if I might take a couple. Then, half the cafe wanted their photos taken! I might go down with my SLR and a tripod next time!
Just had me a piece of banana and chocolate cake
A shame GEC don't just do another Lambsfoot, or make one for Charlie
The little wooden hat is a device used to introduce smoke into the glass and thus into the spirit. The hat has a hollow core with a tiny metal basket which holds tiny wild cherry or oak chips. (or other types of wood chips) The chips are ignited with a small torch then when the lid is placed on the basket the smoke is forced down into the glass.
Big Jake is recent too.
That one was sold to a dealer, the green one was sold to an individual prior to posting. I thought I was ok since I was not personally trying to sell them myself at the time of posting. I'll hold of posting any unless they are ones I'm keeping and not for sale.

Yes indeed LeonThat's what we like to see. They are work implements.
It was pretty traumatic Barrett!Market day without a knife!
Yeah, a lot of zooming and cropping going on there!
Shotgun shells (and shotguns) are a lot more restricted than in the past. I suspect that the local constabulary may be familiar with that Some really interesting/entertaining reading on the Buckfast Wikipedia page.
Cool image!
Indeed!Never a dull moment, Jack!
Yes, it would be nice to see them do something different
LOL!I’ve had jobs like that before. One involved being out and about in a company vehicle. Evening shift, not a lot to do, and free rein to get whatever fast food I wanted for dinner.
The only time I ever worked nights was in a brewery! There was maybe a couple of hours work to do out of an 8 hour shift, the rest of the time we drank or slept! Some nights I would clock-in, and then just go to a nightclub, as the brewery was right in the centre of Sheffield! Just before I started there, there had been a minor scandal, when some senior management from London were touring the labyrinthine brewery, and came across a bunch of made-up beds in the loft above the brewhouse!

That sounds fine my friend, just wanted to make sure you were aware
There’s a place around here where we’ve had dinner a few times that has a smoked old fashioned. It’s garnished with a waffle and an a slice of bacon and is served under a large glass dome filled with smoke. It’s a bit over the top.
Great to see Mitch, looks like you've been busy
I have a few things I need to take care of in the house, but I should be able to get out at some point, possibly meet up with Wolfie. Have a good one Guardians
