Nice
Hope things get back to normal soon.Thanks guys, it's very alarming. While there was unrest in Leeds, we seem to have been saved, in part, by the fact a large contingent of the football hooligans involved in the riot, travelled to another Yorkshire city, Hull. There, there was widespread rioting, with police officers injured, cars and members of the public attacked, shops looted, damaged, and set on fire, along with vehicles, and anything else the rioters could find to burn. Judging from the images I'm seeing, the police seem to be over-stretched, but I guess that many of them have never had to face this level of violence and disorder before. Arrests have already started, which will hopefully deter some of those involved in the violence. I'm going to carry Waboom again today![]()

WaBooooooooooom and chip. Don't get much betterCool pic Dwight, I love the old coinMy pal, Matt's, family are originally from the Isle of Man, going back to his grandfather's time, I think, and he is off there with his dad and uncle, and the kids, for a short holiday soon. I'll try and remember to ask him to get me some coins
I'm glad you escaped the worst of it, my friend, and hope you're back to better weather soon. Lovely image of Roper

Good morning Guardians, the city centre of Leeds is rarely a peaceful place at weekends, but so far as I know the disturbances here did not go on into the evening. There were various rumours of mobs on their way to attack various areas, but I've not yet seen any evidence. Certainly, where I live, it was quiet, and untroubled, thankfully. I'm hoping that the violence won't extend beyond the weekend. I hope everyone is well, and that your own weekend has been quieter and more relaxing than mineI still have my Waboom in my pocket, and a song in my heart

Speak softly and carry a big Waboom.
Always nice to see it Jack.![]()
Glad you are safe
Good childhood memories
When we were growing up, Mum did the groceries once a fortnight. If we were good could pick a bag of lollies, licorice all sorts or freckles for me, still the best![]()
I found an online mounted police supplier. Maybe if I had a horse, I wouldn't think $60 was too much for a stick

Classy Lamb !
Glad to hear you were spared the worst of the storm
No, I missed that. Very nice handle on that walking stick
One of my favorites as a kid
Hopefully things will settle down soon.
Cool pic of Waboom ! I'm really glad to hear that the unrest, for the most part stayed away from your area.
Nice Rosewood on your EZ open Lamb![]()
Wow... I've heard about some of the chaos that's happening out y'all's way across the pond. Stay safe out there.

Cripes.Thanks all, for the kind words, and the lovely LambsI'm afraid things are getting worse here, rather than better, I just watched (online), a mob of a couple thousand people, throw everything they could at heavily outnumbered cops, smash every window they could in a hotel, and then set fire to it with people inside. Similar scenes are playing out around the country, with looting, attacks on ordinary people and their property, and upon the police, who have lost control in many places. I may need to step back a bit I'm afraid, as I need to sort some stuff out, in case things get even worse
