Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

I did think they all occurred in the same episode, but would have accepted being told otherwise :D :thumbsup:

I really don't get around like I used to I'm afraid, only really visiting other towns now if I have a need to, but it's something I should try to change. Been a busy couple of years :thumbsup:

I really don't know why British TV designs took so long to catch up, maybe they were still built here back in the 60's. We didn't have colour TVs until about 1970, and the first black and white ones I remember had small, thick screens, clunky channel knobs, 2 channels, and terrible reception! Also they tended to come in a cabinet, so you could hide them away like something indecent :D Also, most folks rented them, rather than buying them. The first TV we had as a kid, took a sixpence in a slot in the back, which bought you a period of viewing! 🤣

LOL! :D Good pic of Rose Beast Jer :thumbsup:

I'm sure there weren't many of those Gary :D Thank you for the kind words :) :thumbsup:

Still some good mileage my friend :) :thumbsup:

By chance, on my way to the market yesterday, I bumped into a friend who said he hadn't been on a bus for years. Bus designs had changed quite a bit since he last rode one. I'm not sure if the look on his face was one of amazement or shock! :D


Great to see you here buddy, I hope things get easier soon, and that you had a great Thanksgiving :thumbsup:

It was great to see them Barrett :) :thumbsup:

LOL! :D Sounds good to me pal :) :thumbsup:

I love seeing that knife Barrett, the two of you did a great job, always makes me smile :) :thumbsup:

Smart move :D :thumbsup:

Cool pic Jer :) :thumbsup:


Great to see you here Pete, hope you're doing well buddy :) :thumbsup:

Looking good Mitch :) :thumbsup:
We only had 2 channels when I was young, big old clunky TV did have a little portable in black and white no remotes in sight anywhere
We thought it was very flash when the Aunty got a beta max video player and we all wnt over to watch movies.😮

Thanks Jack
Have a good day.

I remember all my uncles bringing beer round to watch the FA Cup Final on our new colour TV in 1971! :D None of us had ever seen a TV with a 21" screen before! 🤣 👍

The wet clay is probably worth another couple miles.
Cool pic Jer :) :thumbsup:

It looks like snow-blower grade snow out there. I'm going to spray the machine with Lysol first. I don't want to know the composition of that woodchuck dust. I did wipe down the handles before I dragged it out.
 
Good morning Guardians, I'm going out with friends tonight, but I have quite a lot to do before then, so I better get to it ;) I hope everyone has a great day :) I'm carrying another of the 3 Lambs that @jsdistin re-built and re-covered (he did 6 altogether). He did a great job of them :) The covers on this one are African Blackwood :thumbsup:

Very nice example Jack.
Glad you can start the weekend right, with friends.
 
I see the birth of color television was in London in 1928. My, how they have come a long way.

I always had the task of running to the hardware store for replacement tubes, early on.

Nice pic of OTW my industrious friend 👍

Many thanks Bob 🙂👍

I never realised that Bob, I always figured they must have been an American invention. Wonder why it took 40 years for them to start mass-production here! 🤷‍♂️

Blimey, did that happen often Bob?
