"That's not a knife..."

Cat 1 Me 0 I have trouble with one of my sacroiliac joints and so sometimes as it is quite uncomfortable when trying to sleep I find moving around helps. However the cat has decided that it is imperative that she sleeps under the covers and right up against me. This of course means that I am unable...

Can any of our dog-collared (see the connection?) friends here enlighten me why the clergy seem to have such a fascination with steam traction? Awdry Treacy Boston Chesterman... One has asked the same questions numerous times. One drives diesel too; not fussy. Dad had a spell running a workshop for...

Does Handsfreehave any pics of his home-cured? I'm tempted to try this meself - preferably whilst erindoors is away being grandma somewhere. If so, I'll be back asking for instructions.

On great storm day we lived next to an office building; bloke in a hut outside our kitchen window wore a black mac and peaked cap. His vocabulary up to then consisted of one sentence: "You can't park 'ere mate." In kitchen at 05:00 to watch his hut rise vertically in the air about 20', dis...

Keef reminds me of a time when I was reading some old minutes, before I sent the books to the County Records Office. The following was accurate, but frustratingly incomplete. (the dates are made up, by the way, but the contents are as accurate as I remember them...) 2nd February 1910 The minister r...

Morning all,
In view of the absence of the usual report from Hands, I will state that it's erruugh here, too. Hoping it will clear a bit later, so that I can go up and tell them how to run the railway. (I never roster meself for a bank hol; too much like hard work.)

Is that Faculties as in 'We'll have to get a Faculty before we paint that door, yer Reverence'?
If so, what a fantastic bloke you are. So dedicated.

But of course we knew that, anyway.

Back in the day, I helped a young woman move into a 'new' home on the Old Kent Road. Couple of weeks later, she loved the house, but wouldn't go in the back door because "it feels spooky" Then a neighbour asked her how she liked living in the murder house. Seems that it was a wife-killed-h...

Going daft, just spent two minutes trying to lite a ciggy wi a memory stick. Worse still: I've just been into Belper, buying of WedAnniv card for 'er, and when I went to pull out me dosh, me favourite memory stick shot out of me pocket and I trod on it. Just goes to prove that no good deed goes unp...

I've been called a patronising liberal on another place.
Will that do for now?

Just a quick hello from me, too, FSL, then it's beer o'clock.

Loaded W10 on one of my Lenovo T61s on Friday, having had the nod from M$haft that I could - and also that I could revert to '7 if I wanted to within the month. Took over 2 hours to download & another hour to install. Behaved itself: reloaded all the software I was using under '7; even gave the ...

Only delayed by the fact that the email didn't arrive, then read someone else's contribution saying that (s)he had managed to get on without (Courtesy of admin, I guess) so here Oi be.
And glad of it.
And thanks to the coded prompt to come over from (youknowwhoyou are).

Good to see that your senior chaplain got here already. I can therefore comfortably assume my accustomed supernumerary position. (Protestant, but not CofE, you understand!) Come to think of it, in this parish, I guess I'm one of his parishioners....
