I've been there and it isn't any fun. Hang in there brother. This too shall pass...
Chin, I Love the look of the dark ironwood with the Sun blazing on it, its a pleasing photo.
Great photo Vince! You must have gone to London to see the QueenI drink Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout...
...because it reminds me of a prince of a friend in Yorkshire named Jack. And it tastes bloody good!
How 'bout you?
Cheers!
She's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have a lot to say!Great photo Vince! You must have gone to London to see the Queen
I will try to catch up shortly 
Hope all the Guardians have a fantastic weekend.
I'm sorry to be talking about myself but I'm as giddy as school girl after this news.
Congratulations my friend, I'm really glad you're making progress, well done Barnitt's is where that beeswax came from.
What's the new torch?
...
I've just spent the last two days in the Burton-upon-Trent beer festival.
Held in the Victorian Town Hall.
Friday lunchtime had the Wurlitzer organ recital. Apparently one of only 23 remaining in the country.
Finally, Happy Birthday Jack! Hope you've had a good day
I've seen sticks of beeswax on sale in quite a few places lately, though with warmer weather coming (hopefully), they might be well advised to put them back in the store room 
"Whim ... away" - very clever, Jack (and it took me 3 readings to catch it
Any idea about instrumentation in that recording? There's some very high, ethereal parts that I can't decide whether they're vocal or something like an Australian didgeridoo.
I'm afraid not, but there's some more info about the song here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_Sleeps_TonightI can’t tell if it’s stag or bone Stag likeJack Black referred to it as. Take care.
'Stag Bone' or 'Bone Stag' are older words for what we would call 'jigged bone' today, though it was specifically tooled and dyed to imitate stag. Sometimes it was just called 'Stag', with the real stuff called 'Genuine Stag' or 'Real Stag', so old catalogues can be confusing. There's also pressed stag (just to confuse things further) I drink Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout...

I was after a bottle of Sam Smith's Yorkshire Stingo yesterday, having never previously tried the heady brew, but I didn't manage to secure a bottle - even in this trendy ale shop in hippy Hebden Bridge 
Sounds like you had a great day Jack!I had a pretty good birthday yesterday, headed over to Huddersfield and found a few pointies in the market. Then went for a great breakfast, snapped this pic of my AC with my coffee, while waiting for the feast to arrive
That's a mighty fine snapshot of your AC, my friend.
Sounds like you had a great day Jack!
That's a plus on the weather as well Jack, beautiful countryside.Thanks mate, it was beautiful weather too
Here is a quick snap I took yesterday at one of our local picnic spots. The temp was 62 F the crystal clear lake needs a couple more warm days to show itself.
That's a plus on the weather as well Jack, beautiful countryside.

I have just been clearing up a bit after yesterday, and doing a bit of work out in the garden 
It sure looks like you had a most pleasant celebration. I do like seeing the visuals, because it allows me a better understanding. I assume that’s you up in the crow’s nest. Speaking of which, when I fully wake up, I’ll post more images, prior to my knife having to walk the plank.Randy, you are such a positive soul
Very interesting my friend, would you be kind enough to post a few more pics of it, along with any other info you have?
Fancy that
Thanks for the pics David, hope you had a smashing time
Congratulations, that's a very nice find, great pics too
No pun is too corny for me to stoop to GT
Lovely pic Chin
I can barely see my computer screen at the moment because of bright sunshine outside outside!
Beautiful photo my friend
Cheers my friend, thank you very much

Also got to open a few presents of course
After Huddersfield, we headed through some spectacular scenery, over the moors to Hebden Bridge, and after beer and cake, we had another scenic trip to Haworth, and then to Keighley. I'll try to post more pics in the Pearl thread
Carrying my Black Prince today, shown here with one of my birthday cards
Hope everyone has a great Sunday, and thanks again for all your birthday wishes my dear friends

Nice image, Dave.
Is that a Pierre Cardin Schnitt vom Morgen? I had a couple of those and was a little disappointed that if I left it in the sun, the siliconed on metal covers would slide off.
I'm heading over to Pearl's thread to catch up.

The crow's nest was actually invented by a Yorkshire lad, from the town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire coast, where I have often spent my birthday. Here's a Lambsfoot pic from Whitby, and if you go here: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads...-more-at-post-41.1214977/page-3#post-13919263 there's a story about the crow's nest to read with your morning coffee (if you'd like pics, go to post 1 of that thread) 
Good Sunday to you all. Sounds like you had a good birthday Jack.
Gorgeous pic
