David, that's quite an insightful listing of great rivalries! :p:p:thumbsup:
The "emptiness" in that photo presents quite a remarkable vista to an old farm boy who has lived the past 35+ years in a metropolitan area containing over a million people. :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Union Jack in August, with no threat of snow the next day!

Urgh....people... A million of them as well... :(:eek:
Unless, of course, you like people...:D
Actually I know how you feel. I'm also an ex-farm boy who now lives slap bang in the centre of the 2nd most densely populated part of the UK. :( Luckily relatively empty places are less than an hour bus/train/drive away :thumbsup:

That August shots looks nice. :thumbsup: I'd rather have August back than this 5c still misty but quite humid weather I've had for the past week.

We should start a sausage rolls for breakfast campaign my friend, how did we get suckered into Black Friday, with no Thanksgiving?! o_O That's an atmospheric shot :thumbsup:

You need to visit Wigan Jack. The 'sausage rolls for breakfast everyday campaign' has been well established there for several decades... :D
I can proudly say I've never been suckered into any Black Friday shenanigans :thumbsup: I could quite happily get suckered into Thanksgiving though. :)

Not for breakfast.

Black Friday exists here for less than 10 years and will probably follow Halloween's fate (they try every year but it never catches really, except with little schoolboys maybe). Today they try to inoculate us the Cyber Monday. There are no grounds for all this except purely commercial thoughts.
They did not try Thanksgiving yet, maybe because our ovens are not large enough for a turkey! Good old king Henry the IVth (murdered 1610) wanted each farmer of the Kingdom to have a chicken in the pot (Poule au pot) every sunday. He was also known as the Vert-Galant, but that's another story!:)

LOL! :D I don't think I have ever actually visited Wigan, though I've read about it quite a bit! If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely go though :) With respect to the sausage rolls, I think Barnsley may be a bit similar. I was once travelling from Leeds to Sheffield, and when the train stopped at Barnsley, a group of about 10 teenage girls got on, and sat at and opposite my table. I thought I was going to have to listen to a lot of excited chatter about boys, makeup, and pop singers for the next 30 minutes, but the sole topic of conversation was sausage rolls! Much as I enjoy a sausage roll, I would be hard-pressed to talk about nothing else for 30 minutes, particularly when the level of conversation went something like: "Oooh, I love a sausage roll!"
"Oooh, I like a sausage roll too!"
"I really love a sausage roll!"
Something wrong with the kids in Barnsley :rolleyes:

A grand pic my friend :thumbsup:

Lambsfoot/Sausage roll content ;)

I had to look up "vert galant". Seems a nicer way to put it than "old lech(er)".

That's the idea, it does not imply age necessarily, he died at 57, from a knife wound in the belly while his carriage was stuck in traffic.
His cradle was a tortoise shell, still visible in Pau were he was born. He is still considered as one of the greatest French kings ever.

Maybe some sort of coded language??? ;)o_O

I too like sausage rolls , we call them friands - same for cheese rolls - but for some reason they tend to disappear of bakeries.

That's hilarious! I WOULD rather listen to talk (however inane) of sausage rolls than boys, makeup, & pop stars, but I probably would have just turned off my hearing aids!

I suspect you're far from alone in that my friend :thumbsup:
 
Yikes! I have done a miserable job at keeping up on this thread. It is good to see that it continues to chug along nicely.

Some of you might remember that some time ago, I ordered a couple of Lambsfoot knives from a shop (that shall not be named) in the UK. The two knives that I received were a rather bitter disappointment. Though I warmed to the ebony (not so black), the horn clad example was almost unusable. I sent it to glennbad and he dressed it up in something far nicer.

Wow! Couldn’t ask for a better cranberry around Thanksgiving time. You must be elated.

And, good to see you here, buddy.
