Let's see how this one goes down...

Some bloke from Bangkok just scaled a mountain in Switzerland.

He was the Thai of the Eiger.

Yesterday's project was something I've been needing to do for about two years now. The knotty pine door, I fitted on the bedroom, has constantly bled resin through the water based paint leaving brown stains. I finally got around to sorting it with some stain blocking primer and fresh coats of under...

Word on the street is that power is off in Barlick Town Square, unofficial reports are that contractors have gone through a cable.

Is it for marking a workpiece? Centre punch?

Pasta for tea today at Fabello's in Foulridge. Current chef is Giovanni as Fabio is no longer there, the menus show Vanni'sso perhaps a name change is on the way. Needless to say the food was very good.

Same here, it's either carry on using it free, with ads, or pay £3 a month to subscribe without add. I've chosen for free but if the ads are too intrusive it's in the bin.

A potentially serious condition, hopefully they sort him out quickly.

Been OK here in Foulridge so far.

Farting?

I've booked the 'We Love the 70's' Butlins Weekender in Skegness in October. Should be a good weekend. 6 of us sharing a 3 bedroomed apartment with food included worked out at £186 each, which I thought was very reasonable. The current entertainment line up is looking good with more to be added. It ...

Probably, it's not good tomorrow

It did but I got there

The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Phil, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating an...

A spirit safe. An enclosed device used in the distillation of Scotch whisky. The device allows the distiller to analyze and manage the flow of the spirit as it emerges from the condenser without coming into direct contact with it.

Whisky related?

I watched the final episode of Celebrity Traitors, and found it moderately amusing, whilst not understanding it at all. I have dipped into the recent Traitors - and I haven't the first clue what is going on and have quickly switched it off. I find they have a great PR setup. Everyone is speaking as...

I have one as an attachment to a beard trimmer (not that I have a beard) and found it works well for me. Much easier than trying to pull them out with long nosed pliers

I fully appreciate the reasoning. Bolognese sayce and BBQ are also risky food sources

Unofficial word on the street is that Well Chemist has reopened as Everest, so two buildings run by the same company. Can't see that being the case for too long, be interesting to see which building they migrate into.

Strangely it disappeared from Flightradar so I wasn't aware of it returning. The history shows it went to the Isle of Man before returning to Wharton.

The inventor of the throat lozenge has sadly died, there will be no coffin at his funeral.

Couldn't see it, only heard it.
Gone to the seaside...

All my sewing machines come from there and are serviced there. Yes they do hqve some lovely bedding. Bob get...
