Otis in Polish is "Otisa" (Oh-Tee-sah!)!I don't usually name my pocket knives, but my wife suggested that I call my GL-24 "Otis".I think I like Winda better.
I checked the tracking this morning Leon, and it indicated that the item had just arrived in the country, and was being processed. I went out to the post office, and while I was out, they tried to deliver it!The good news is, I should have it by lunchtime tomorrow
I had just returned home to find I'd missed my delivery, when I got a text from a guy I don't see too often, but bumped into earlier, asking if I fancied a pint if I was still in town. I told him I was at home, but offered to meet him at our local. We hadn't been chatting long, when he began to tell me about having his heart broken, at the grand age of 52!He had had a friendship with a woman for the past 4 years, and they went to a local hippy festival together at the weekend, where he finally confessed his feelings for her. Unfortunately, within a few hours, she became entranced by some skate-boarder, with muscles and blond highlights
Obviously, while empathising, I spent a good deal of time, making him laugh, and advised him to sell his ticket for the Pixies gig they were going to next week, and not lock himself in his bedroom listening to Diana Ross tracks
I just sent him a link to this
I hope everyone is having a great day

Which war?Hopefully your postman is punctual tomorrow.
That does happen.
I like Otis — a fitting name!
Always a pleasure to see that one!
“And whatever you do, don’t mention the war! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it!”
Is that good or bad,I thought that was what you Diggers surfed on?

Fine-looking Lamb Cool pic David
When I was doing a bit of research to try and find out how that micarta rod might have been used in an elevator, I came across a few images and videos of mid-century Polish elevators. I think I’d probably just take the stairs.
Well done BarrettHere’s the updated “roll call” group pic, with Charlie’s and few other members’ knives identified.
Very attractive Steve
LOL!The only Otis I know of was on the Andy Griffith show
There is the great Otis Redding.
Fascinating JohnI dont know how to isolate the quote,but it is complicated regarding the war of the roses.
My last unit was the Royal Regiment of Fusilers (attached) we wore a hackle all the time.
On St.Georges day we wore red and white roses behind the cap badge,most where from Northumberland way (North East).
Note the bayonet,at a vets meeting the other day with Green Jackets (light infantry) they told me its called a sword with them,so many bits of history that hold us together.
A fine body of fighting men Having seen similar contests, there does seem to be a general tendency to UNDERestimateIn this contest I’ve learned that we’re all white pessimistic… at least in our guessing of number of coffee beans in a wine glass
I don't think they come much better than that mate, if any, absolutely superbThere is a lot I didnt know about traditionals when I joined here (though as a child I was carrying a U boat commanders locking sodbuster).

He better be, I'll be standing at the end of the path, looking at my watch, and drumming my fingers on the gate-post!Hopefully your postman is punctual tomorrow.
The tale was quite unexpected, though I can imagine he's had his share of rejection!That does happen.
That’s a beautiful lamb Dan, I’m sure she’ll get some well earned pocket time.I didn’t get a chance to post this yesterday because Postie Mike is on vacation and his replacement letter carrier didn’t come until after 7 my time. There’s not a lot of superlatives that I can add that haven’t already been said. So I will just thank Barrett Brownbtb01 for giving me the opportunity to own a truly amazing knife! Of course shout outs to Eric Albers and our great founder Jack Black for their participation.

Ripper = pearler
Pearler = Ridgey Didge
Ridge Didge = cracker
Cracker = mint
Mint = schmicko
Schmicko = stunna’
Stunna = beauty
Beauty = good.
I hope that clears it up for you
