It seems to be very strong and precise. The two cuts are the same length and position, although these could be just so that a belt could be threaded through. It must be made for a very specific use. Brainwave!: Is the bottom open? Could it be for threading on a belt so that a heavy tool could be car...

Is it for wiping joints in lead pipes?

Today, Wuhan has lifted the outbound travel restrictions after 76 days of lock-down. 55,000 people are expected to transit the railway stations on more than 300 trains.

China, what evidence is there that god is male?

According to Christians God is the father... No, it isn't evidence.

Perhaps you should have asked what evidence is there that God exists?

Yesterday morning God was seen walking in Yorkshire. When asked what he was doing, he replied “Working from home”.

No malaria?

Got it WENDY. I am signing off. Bye. Good luck...you are gonna need it and could likely do with friends, but I am sick of facing Stanley’s boxing gloves every morning. Listen to what the world is saying, for heaven’s sake... Awww, Maz. Don't take your bat home. I'll miss you. Knocking others is par...

I've looked at the China Daily. I would look again - accompanied by my natural scepticsm for everything I read. I would rate it a long way above the Daily Express. :smile: I remember the Chinese grave day from my time in Singapore. They called it ching ming then. Worth reading about. Admirable resp...

I have noticed over the last few months that amongst the various dents and depressions in my skull created by the entrance points for my craniotomy. I can now feel the head of one of the screws used to secure the bone flap back in place. It doesn't hurt or anything like that, it is just there. I as...

Crisis not quite over, only for those of us that are forced to read the news according to China Daily.

Yes...but I don’t think you are given the true figures, China. Some reports suggest 10x “official” reports ( and sales of funeral urns tends to support that) Really?!! :biggrin2: "Some reports" never mention the source and are usually just speculation or journalists exaggerating the truth to fill t...

Asymptomatic cases are always going to be a problem wherever they are present. This novel bug is out there and widespread globally and will continue to be a threat. China's death rate (official figures) from Covid is very low compared with countries like UK, USA, Spain and Italy, I know where I'd ra...

I wish we knew more about the situation in China...how they are coping with the second wave of virus, how infection and death rates are doing and if people are successfully returning to work. Hearing nothing at all causes worry. I hope they are doing well as a nation. It would be hard to cope with ...

Hubby’s hairdresser works from home and is still taking appointments on a solo basis, so hubby has a time slot this morning. I did offer to trim his hair. He said he would rather become a hippy if his hairdresser wasn’t taking clients. Maz, I let my wife cut my hair recently. For years I have resis...

We had a lovely walk around Kelbrook Moor yesterday morning. I thought I'd share this view of Pendle with those of you not able to access our beautiful countryside. :smile: Thanks Wendy. Great picture. I've saved it to show Jiaping when she gets back from Liuzhou. When we were in England in 2010 we...

Good news Stanley about Susan. Hope she gets better very quickly. A message from my mate, Peking Pete who is currently in Thailand and free to crack jokes: The General Secretary of the National Union of Filchers, Intruders, Larcenists, Cat Burglars and Housebreakers (FILCH), Colin 'The Crowbar' Wils...

The clocks go forward tonight!

Thanks for the heads-up, I need to be able to keep in sync with UK time for financial reasons.

Winch for extracting the Sabden treacle miners?

Added my 2 pennyworth. Got a receipt and a transaction number, does that mean everything has gone through OK? I use my card so infrequently these days that I forget the address at which it is registered!

Gee! Thanks.

Do they give any hints where my wife can find the other 9 people?

Love this story each time I read it. Thanks again.
