Back in the days of hob-nailed boots, Blakey's of Leeds, and their iconic 'segs' were famous throughout the British Empire, and they were still famous in Britain when me and Tool Man were lads. Blakey's are still made, but they moved out of Yorkshire nearly a decade ago. Ex-Para Steve is always finding interesting things on the market, and a couple of weeks back, he purchased this unique brass key fob. After much prompting, he very generously gave it to Tool Man last week. Pretty cool I think, particularly for a Leeds Lad
As well as being thankful for getting in out of the cold, I'm grateful for all the great friends I've made here, and for the continued rise of the Lambsfoot
I just watched the first two episodes of Fargo
I'm getting the band back together!
LOL!Sounds good Gus
Good morning Guardians, I hope that everyone is well, and that our US members had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Friday is reason enough to celebrate for the rest of us!Have a great day Guardians, and safe travels to those who are going to be on the road
Watched my nephew play his last game of the season. UNM lost a nail-biting game to Utah State in double overtime. I had a great time an my son had fun messing around with the mascot
. Carried the HHB again.

Do any of you Guardians have a favorite Christmas movie?
Thanks John.It was already in my pocket from yesterday... and the day before... and the day before...
Went to a Crew Cup yesterday, first one I've tried, it was weird and we did horribly.
A great start for a great day.
Sounds like a relaxing day.
It’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” for me Barrett.That’s a cool little piece of history, Jack.
I think I can speak on behalf of all the Guardians and say we’re thankful for you and all that you do here.
How do you like it so far? Julie and I watched the first two episodes as well over the last couple nights. Seems like it might be a good season.
Hey, an instrument I could actually play a tune on! (Though not a very good one at this point, I’m afraid.)
It’s a few feet short of a trombone!
The grain on your Afzelia Burl Albers is looking fantastic there, Jack!
Sorry they lost the game, but I’m glad you were able to be there, and it looks like y’all had a good time.
Now that Thanksgiving is past us, I don’t feel bad starting to get into the Christmas spirit. Christmas is my favorite holiday, and we’ve got family coming up to stay with us this year, so we’ve got a bit of decorating to do, as well as a lot of tidying.
We’re going to get the Christmas trees out tomorrow (trees plural, because when we moved from Arizona to Minnesota we had to downsize from one large Christmas tree to two smaller ones). In my opinion you can’t decorate the Christmas tree without a Christmas movie on, which means I had to get my Christmas movie list ready. I make one of these every year and mark off movies as we watch them. Last year was the first year I was able to mark them all off.
As you can see, it’s a bit of a hodgepodge of actually-good Christmas movies, some nostalgic favorites, stuff the wife and kids like, and a few guilty pleasures.

Definitely... The Star Wars Holiday Special... The Boys and I watch it every year, even though they endlessly complain about it every year.
It's a Wonderful Life, starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, directed by Frank Capra.

Met Office say it's 28 here right now, but there's a biting wind!

Sounds like a plan David, I think I might adopt something similar tomorrow!
I thought so too BarrettThat’s a cool little piece of history, Jack.

Without a doubt. We sometimes have to let people know that we appreciate all they do for us, busy lives and all the other stuff makes us forget sometimes.I think I can speak on behalf of all the Guardians and say we’re thankful for you and all that you do here.
Thank you, Jack.

Nice bit of shopping Jeremy!Had to restock the cabinet. Hope everyone has had a good weekend.
I only realised, when I was looking for a link, that I had never seen a full episode, I don't think!
Kinda weird! I thought por Tom Baker fans might enjoy the clip Without a doubt. We sometimes have to let people know that we appreciate all they do for us, busy lives and all the other stuff makes us forget sometimes.
Well done TysonThe last post on here is from almost seven hours ago! From

I was asleep Pile-side Sunday is a good idea I've never seen The Grinch! I only saw Bad Santa a few years ago!btb01
Brother it has to be the classics.
Die hard & lethal Weapon.
My eldest loves the Grinch & home alone.
I've seen the grinch so many times
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend After meeting up with Matt, and his family, in Charlie's for breakfast, we went into town, so the kids could see the Christmas lights, and had a look round one of the museums. They wanted to go shopping, so me and Matt sneaked off for a couple of pints. By chance, we bumped into Brother Tony, and his missus, Louise, so after Matt went off to catch up with his dad, I went for something to eat with Tony and Louise, and then for another couple of pints. It was cold all day here yesterday, but in the afternoon, it got noticeably colder, and I was near frozen by the time I got in! I'm surprised I didn't wake up to snow! 
It's 32f right now, and I'm glad I have plenty to do in the house! The weather-folks are forecasting snow for later in the week, but we'll see
