Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a good week. I have some boring 'paperwork' to do this morning, but there's an outside chance I might be able to grab a coffee with Wolfie, at some point, today. Got my Pals Lamb in my pocket, shown here with another old book I picked up in the market. Have a good day Guardians

Hope you enjoy yourself BillIs 'Links' a common word in the US? I remember hearing my parents and grandparents use it, but can't remember hearing it used here for a long time (but I don't move in golfing circles)

I'm surprised it's not referenced in the Thread Index. That kind of phrasing was common in the Sheffield cutlery trade, long before the Lambsfoot pattern came about. Abram Brooksbank knives were even etched 'Real Knife', and other cutlery manufacturers also included the term 'Real' in etches and stampings, so not that strange. Maybe the word had a slightly different meaning back then?
Good afternoon Guardians, 3pm here in Yorkshire, and I haven't been back from the market long. The temperature has been cooler, but the rain held off at least. Tool Man excelled himself in gluttony, consuming a loaf-size beef sandwich, and 3/4 of a pizza Martin bought, which he then had the cheek to complain about!Of course, that wasn't ALL he ate!
At least, since he is suffering with toothache, he's currently off the cake!
Along with the regulars, we had a few of our irregular visitors, including Scooby, from Tool Man's old motorcycle gang, and Big Dave, (pictured below, centre), who did the catering at Tool Man's wedding. Hope everyone is having a good day

Fascinating Bill, thank you for the informationThanks Jack. The term "Links" is a commonly used term in golf circles.
A links course is a type of golf course typically found in coastal areas and characterized by natural terrain that has been shaped by wind, rain and the sea.
The term "links" (from the Scottish word hlinc, which means "rising ground" or "ridge") refers to the landform on which many links courses are built. They’re usually built on sandy soil that drains well, with few trees and natural hazards such as dunes, tall grasses and pot bunkers.
Since the first links course was established in the 15th century, links courses have become an integral part of the game, and many of the world's most famous and challenging courses are links courses.

Congratulations Bill, thanks for sharing the happy newsGood morning Guardians. Hoping everyone is heading for a good weekend. My daughter just announced her engagement to her long time boyfriend, Chad. The wife went out to California this past week to firm up plans at the venue, pick out wedding dresses, caterers, etc. In other words...spend money!Thankfully I have my HHB handy to slit my wrists; just kidding.
