A Case of Conscience The nation sorely needs a Republican victory. But I don't want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny – Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear.  Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-Maine), June 1, 1950.    Thus Ms. Smith, in her ‘Declarati...

Yes Kev. More accurately the Diquis Spheres of San Jose....
Next object?

Sorry Cathy No. It was decided the balls were man made because they were perfectly round.

That's as good an answer as any the authorities have come up with so far Gloria.... But I need something a bit more concrete than that.
(And no, concrete isn't a clue! )

Good luck with it Sue.....

Oh dear! What happens now, ignore them or a full-blown campaign? https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28838/medium This morning I measured, marked, drilled and tapped for the inlet and exhaust pipes. Then I made them and fitted them. That's enough for this morning. I deserve my ...

Still making sure these posts are available......

Three hot meals again augmented by some very tasty savoury rice and onion I cooked just because I fancied it.
I shall be roasting some belly pork this morning for the same reason!

Kids and a calf at Hey Farm 50 years ago..... If there was a better way to rear kids than with plenty of green space to play in and with animals as companions, I never found it!

If there is no response by dinnertime I'll knock it on the head!

Not that old Cathy, more likely mid 19th Century.

Yesterday afternoon was sunny but not warm. At 20:00 we had sun coming in under the light overcast. This morning first thing it was calm, clear and cool. It's tending to cloud over now. The glass is up on 1023mb and the forecast is for sunny intervals at first but heavy overcast by late morning, it ...

Very Tidy Cathy and you put me to shame. My front garden looks abandoned never mind wild!

That sounds like a busy day Sue! I was telling Mick and Margaret last night that the weather was warming up but then I saw the outlook on the Mat Office forecast this morning. We are back into the heating season next week! I shall be in the shed at 06:00 working on my cylinder. I have some pork bell...

You have reminded me of another puzzle David, the eviction of Fergie and Andrew.... What complicated lives they do lead.... Laura Kuenssberg has written a thoughtful piece on the Abbott affair. See THIS in BBC Politics thread. Worth reading and it reminds me of this because Blairism was the root of ...

And she couldn't vote. Stand by your man.  Tammy Wynette, 1968. In 1968, this country and western song sped to the top of the charts, where it coexisted—uncomfortably?—with several songs by Bob Dylan.   In itself, standing by your man can be an overrated virtue.   It didn’t do much for Hillary Clint...

Starmer has just announced that Dianne Abbott will stand as a candidate in the General Election.
No clarification of a possible problem with the Left. This is not the end of the matter.

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28834/medium This morning I started by facing both ends of the cylinder square with the valve face and giving me a stroke of 2 1/8". Then I marked out the 1/4" wide exhaust port and cut that. That was enough for this morning, now I...

Bumped. Still relevant history!

What and where?

This was bought new by the company that eventually became Associated Dairies then Asda. this was the wagon that the man who was our transport manager in 1968 drove when he first joined ...

Three hot meals of chicken and veggies. I fried my weekly treat of sweet potato chips.
