Hopefully the rioters will find other more peaceful outlets for their frustrations. Hope you have a good weekend Jack. PalsGood morning Guardians, is it Friday again?!Not that the week has gone fast for me, at all
Football season starts this weekend, which'll give some of the thugs something to do, other than throw missiles at the police, and smash up their own communities
We'll see if it makes any difference
Really hoping we're nearing the end of it now
Time was when Leeds' main police station was right next to the market - not a bad spot when Tool Man and his mates were younger!
Now, it's miles away, on the other side of Leeds, a long way to take a box of doughnuts, but I'm sure I can find a police van or two parked up in the centre
I hope everyone else has had a good week, and that you have a nice weekend planned. It rained here yesterday, and is overcast today, but I think there's some better weather forecast for the weekend. For once, I don't mind rain, if it helps damp things down though
Carrying my beautiful Pals Lamb, thanks folks
Have a great day Guardians

That's a beauty Gary !
Thanks, Steve & Mitch.Thanks GT
Great lamb!
Elegant ebony WCLF, Dwight!
Moronic pronouncements seem to be the "coin of the realm" for folks on either side of an issue in contemporary society.
Who'd have though lamb and gator would work together so well?
Bonus bone on your lamb for sure, Steve!
Cool story about your special half-century watch!Bobstag
And my favorite watch. When I turned 50 I was given some money so I thought I would get something special. An Adina country master, an Australian watch company, that started the same year I was born seemed appropriate
Well any way it needed a new battery, the family owned jeweler's that I bought it from last year retired and shut after 47 years. So I thought I would have to send it in. Last week I discovered a couple with Young kids have bought it and continuing on as a family jewelry store, good to see a decades old business survive

That one is well worth seeing repeatedly!
That's a gem, Bob!Good morning all!

Dwight, your photo has pulled me through The Looking Glass and I've lost all sense of perspective!
Outstanding photos of Spalty (and a doofus sheep), Steve!
So, it's a double lamb day?
Nice.![]()
Heavenly horn on that one, Glenn!I'm adding this old beauty to the rotation. It's beat up and used, like me, but still has some living to do!

Barrett, your lambs are like blue ribbon winners at the county fair, and mine are just the prosaic stay-at-home lambs getting fleeced and chopped!...
Iβve been slacking on knife pics lately, but since Yorkshire Day (when I had my stag HHB), Iβve been back to alternating between my Afzelia and Katalox Albers, and have also been handling my Damascus Guardians knife (a generous gift from Jack) a lot around the house, admiring the file work on the backspring.

If anyone wants the nanmu burl, PM me ( 2Γ4 3/4Γ1/4). Free to a good home.
Wood on wood is looking good, David!
I like the looks of that metal lamb, Jack!
The top one always fascinates me, Steve!
I'd buy a ticket for the bus tour of all your beautiful bone knives, Dwight!

Thanks, David & Steve.Nice one Gary !
Classy, Mitch!
I didn't realize you'd showed Richard around Sheffield, Jack; cool story!...
Cool story buddy, I once met up with that Manchester feller in Sheffield, took him to meet Stan Shaw, and then we went to a talk on Joseph Rodgers, given by Geoff TweedaleManchester United are often simply called "Man U" here
I'm glad you have a nice place nearby to walk with your Man Jack

I'd never noticed the serial number on yours, 0382. No doubt there's something interesting about that number. Prime factorization: 382 = 2 x 191 ... Aha! 3+8+2 = 13 = 2+1+9+1. The sum of the digits of 382 equals the sum of the digits of its distinct prime factors, so 382 is a "Smith number". (And it's ALWAYS fun to try to express any whole number as a combination of exactly four 4s using various arithmetic operations: (4! x 4 x 4) β sqrt(4) = (4x3x2x1x4x4) β 2 = (24 x 16) β 2 = 384 β 2 = 382.)

Thanks GarySplendid lamb!
Are the tubes some kind of musical instrument?
Thanks buddyWood on wood is looking good, David!![]()
I'd think that elegant "flat" lamb would be a good match for a flat cap!

Ouch!Moronic pronouncements seem to be the "coin of the realm" for folks on either side of an issue in contemporary society.(That's what I moronically pronounce today.
)
That looks like a tasty bowl of nutrition, Jack!I have to confess I'm a little wary of that slice of red pepper on top, after my wife brought in a pepper looking very similar from the garden last evening. She claimed it was some kind of hot pepper but she didn't remember exactly what variety. I cut off a little ring about a third as thick as the one in your photo, then cut that in half to get a piece to put in my mouth to "test its power". In less than one second, I was in extreme agony from the intense heat and gulping milk straight from a gallon jug. Yikes!
Yes, A ADEE was also with us, it was a good dayI didn't realize you'd showed Richard around Sheffield, Jack; cool story!
I'm not a very fashion forward feller, but I'd think that elegant "flat" lamb would be a good match for a flat cap!![]()
