If Tool Man changed to the cake business would there be any left TO sell?

I suspect not Jeremy!

LOL! Conkers is tradition that has more or less died here I wish the Victorians had planted sweet chestnuts on my street, instead of horse chestnuts. then I could eat them!

You are very diligent with your pile side pics Steve I always forget, which is a shame

I had never heard of the game. I also think it's telling that one of the reason schoolmasters discouraged the game was out of fear that they would be used as weapons. How sad it is when a society becomes so paranoid that even children's toys are viewed as weapons.

Good report Jack. It just occurred to me, and I apologize if I missed it, but with all those creative names for regulars at the market I can't help but wonder what name they have for you.

Here's my generic manhole cover pic for GT @5K Qs .

Thanks Pat, Tool Man comes up with most of the names, a few others I've come up with, and others are pre-existing. I only call Tool Man that to others. His longstanding nickname is 'Sonn', from his surname 'Wilkinson'. I either call him that, or 'Fatty'! He usually calls me 'Barn', an old nickname I had at school, Jack, or 'Jack Black'! When I first started going to the market, people used to refer to me as 'The Knife Man'! The other regulars just call me Jack, 'Jack Black', or sometimes 'Big Jack Black'. Boring Ray also sometimes calls me 'Barn', as does Nobber Al, but they have got that from Tool Man. Unfortunately, most of the regulars don't have the imagination to come up with nicknames for people!

Good shot!

I was surprised to read that it had ever been played in certain parts of the USA, but yes, isn't that crazy, to think that someone might get hit over the head with a small nut!

A bit after his time I think Jer

Looks like you're right. My great grandfather's favorite dictionary doesn't have Basil's meaning.

'The Knife Man'!

I like it.

Old School Class Steve!

Thanks mate !

Thank you! It's funny you ask that GT. I asked my brother if he remembered that day and his recollection was a little different from mine. He remembers eating at a restaurant while we waited for our dad, and the fact that there were no hotels available because of the festival. I just remember waiting on a bench, wondering how my dad was going to make it back.

By the way, I went to the hospital but I didn't have my eardrum perforated and steroids shot behind it. Since my hearing popped back by itself to about where it had been a week ago, there's no point. That's all the steroid shot will do for you; it won't heal your autoimmune disease forever.

Anyway, with my Zen Yoga Christian Science Tai Chi chops, I should be able to heal my autoimmune disease forever with Jedi mind tricks. Note to self.

With all these medical appointments, I thought I'd go ahead and get next year's calendars. My shirt-pocket sized At-A-Glance is $35, so I'm getting something similar from Mojoostry for $6.50.
And back to lighthouses for the kitchen door calendar.
