Have a great day all.

 

[Jack Black]

Thank you once again Dwight, the photographs are absolutely superb

Good morning Guardians. Happy Fourth of July to those of us that celebrate that holiday. Going with my Patriotic Blue Rope.

You're a True Blue Bill

Two of the finest, Dwight, thanks for all the glamor shots! Roper will be with me a work today.

Very handsome Jeff

Have a great day all.

Happy US Independence Day Guardians, I hope you're all having a great day in the USA. The cause of US independence was a popular one in Sheffield, as was Tom Paine, which led to newspaper editors having to flee the country, imprisoned individuals, and armed cavalry charges into the people. The cutler's favourite 'poet', Joseph Mather, took great personal risk to write, and perform, this seditious ditty, particularly as it was sung to the tune of 'God Save The King'!

God save great Thomas Paine,
His “Rights of Man” to explain
To ev’ry soul.
He makes the blind to see
What dupes and slaves they be,
And points out liberty,
From pole to pole.

Thousands cry “church and king”
That well deserve to swing,
All must allow:
Birmingham blush for shame,
Manchester do the same,
Infamous is your name,
Patriots vow.

Pull proud oppressors down,
Knock off each tyrant’s crown,
And break his sword;
Down with aristocracy,
Set up democracy,
And from hypocrisy
Save us good Lord.

Why should despotic pride
Usurp on every side?
Let us be free;
Grant freedom’s arms success,
And all her efforts bless,
Plant thro’ the universe
Liberty’s tree.

Facts are seditious things
When they touch courts and kings,
Armies are rais’d,
Barracks and bastiles built,
Innocence charged with guilt,
Blood most unjustly spilt,
Gods stand amaz’d.

Despots may howl and yell,
Tho’ they’re in league with hell
They’ll not reign long;
Satan may lead the van,
And do the worst he can,
Paine and his Rights of Man
Shall be my song.


On this side of The Pond, despite the British General Election today, Leeds Market has been pretty normal, though several regular stall holders (the usual suspects), failed to turn up. This was most likely because of the weather, as strong winds, of up to 30mph, have made life difficult, and the temperature, even when the sun came out, did not rise above the early 60's. I missed Tool Man's breakfast sandwich, but Boring Ray told me it was as big as ever, and the fat man certainly didn't go hungry, with several doughnuts, multiple chocolate biscuits, more sandwiches, and a couple of pork pies, slipping down his greedy gullet. A number of our regulars failed to show for various reasons, holidays, hospital appointments, etc. Old Brian is looking pretty old and frail these past few weeks. The chap with the 4 eyes is Scooby, one of Tool Man's old biker mates, who occasionally calls down to see us.

Wolfie had an hour off work, so I bought him lunch in the market, which made a nice change. Unfortunately, I left my camera at the stall, so wasn't able to capture the woman we saw, whose head was swathed in strips of tin foil! I did snap the Count of Corned Beef Island

Great poem Jack, followed by a wonderful market report. I hope Brian can continue to be a regular.
Not being political, are there times when you hear the news about us, you are glad we have our independence?

Tool Man looks in good spirits, he must have just finished stuffing his face

Sounds like a good market day other than the wind

Good morning Guardians and happy 4th !

Unfortunately it's raining again here. There was a break in the weather so Cassie and I made it to the dog park before it started up again.

Thank you very much Bob I'll answer that diplomatically my friend, and say that I'm glad you have your independence anyway!

Sorry to hear about the continuing rainfall buddy, maybe it is time to start building a boat! I sure hope it comes to an end soon, and that you get some sun to dry things out Fantastic photos of Gidget

Wonderful pic of your Pals lamb Jack. Thanks for sharing the pics of the market outing. I love the Count of Corned beef Island dude!
We need a few more Thomas Paine's in the US right about now. I love the United States and am proud to be an American but our leaders (so called) in no way represent what the vast majority of us believe. Corruption Reigns Supreme unfortunately.
On another note you guys are suffering the same fate with the Conservatives and the Labor parties being one and the same.
Okay I will shut down my rant. Forgive me mate. It won't happen again.

Good morning Guardians and happy 4th !

I'm really on a roll...

Over the past two days I've been hit with a $3K truck repair and the loss of my wallet and keys. If you find any spare good vibrations laying around, please send post haste.

I took these pics 2 days ago, just before more of the chaos I've been experiencing lately resumed in full force.

The blade will certainly have been hand forged, and 'Hand Forged' is a common Sheffield blade stamp.

Very interesting, thanks! In the above pic, I think you can see the remnants of the "Hand Forged" stamp.

Not the greatest pic, but the next one shows (what I'd consider to be) dramatic flaring of the blade well (I think it's neat) as well as the not-awful centering. There's some blade movement when closed, and it certainly favors the pile side, but not too shabby. As I mentioned previously, the crisp and glassy action is what steals the show.

Glaring red rockets and airburst munitions be damned, I prefer to use this day to celebrate the great American, Roy Jacuzzi, who in 1968 exercised his freedom to invent the hot tub! That's American ingenuity I can soak in!

The hits seem to just keep coming for you, I’m sorry to hear it. that this is the bottom and things start to look up from here.

Thanks, brother. You and I both. Lost the wallet and keys, but I managed to hold on to the knives! Always a silver lining, I suppose.

I forgot to add this one showing her most glaring (yet one I still find easily forgivable) and obvious defect - the noticeable gap between the pile side's spring and liner.

Whatever her age, for the work she's clearly performed - a few scars are par for the course.

This one has been an unexpected but welcome bright spot in a downpour.

Happy US Independence Day Guardians, I hope you're all having a great day in the USA. The cause of US independence was a popular one in Sheffield, as was Tom Paine, which led to newspaper editors having to flee the country, imprisoned individuals, and armed cavalry charges into the people. The cutler's favourite 'poet', Joseph Mather, took great personal risk to write, and perform, this seditious ditty, particularly as it was sung to the tune of 'God Save The King'!

God save great Thomas Paine,
His “Rights of Man” to explain
To ev’ry soul.
He makes the blind to see
What dupes and slaves they be,
And points out liberty,
From pole to pole.

Thousands cry “church and king”
That well deserve to swing,
All must allow:
Birmingham blush for shame,
Manchester do the same,
Infamous is your name,
Patriots vow.

Pull proud oppressors down,
Knock off each tyrant’s crown,
And break his sword;
Down with aristocracy,
Set up democracy,
And from hypocrisy
Save us good Lord.

Why should despotic pride
Usurp on every side?
Let us be free;
Grant freedom’s arms success,
And all her efforts bless,
Plant thro’ the universe
Liberty’s tree.

Facts are seditious things
When they touch courts and kings,
Armies are rais’d,
Barracks and bastiles built,
Innocence charged with guilt,
Blood most unjustly spilt,
Gods stand amaz’d.

Despots may howl and yell,
Tho’ they’re in league with hell
They’ll not reign long;
Satan may lead the van,
And do the worst he can,
Paine and his Rights of Man
Shall be my song.

This was most likely because of the weather, as strong winds, of up to 30mph, have made life difficult, and the temperature, even when the sun came out, did not rise above the early 60's. I missed Tool Man's breakfast sandwich, but Boring Ray told me it was as big as ever, and the fat man certainly didn't go hungry, with several doughnuts, multiple chocolate biscuits, more sandwiches, and a couple of pork pies, slipping down his greedy gullet. A number of our regulars failed to show for various reasons, holidays, hospital appointments, etc. Old Brian is looking pretty old and frail these past few weeks. The chap with the 4 eyes is Scooby, one of Tool Man's old biker mates, who occasionally calls down to see us.

Wolfie had an hour off work, so I bought him lunch in the market, which made a nice change. Unfortunately, I left my camera at the stall, so wasn't able to capture the woman we saw, whose head was swathed in strips of tin foil! I did snap the Count of Corned Beef Island
