PARETO The assertion that men are objectively equal is so absurd that it does not even merit being refuted. Vilfredo Pareto, Manuale d’economia politica (1906). Vilfredo Frederico Pareto was born in Paris on July 15, 1848. It was Europe’s year of revolutions, certainly in France and in many of the G...

The forecast tells us we are having heavy rain but all that has happened is a light shower, Like you Gloria, it is fine at the moment.

It has started raining......

Sounds tiring Sue! You'll need a holiday when you get home in order to recover. We are only going to see 17C here today but the promised heavy rain hasn't arrived yet, at the moment we have full sun. https://oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/30342/medium More cutting to size of the steam...

More cutting to size of the steam valve. I have stopped at this point after just over 30 minutes work because now I have to swap my cutter to 1/4" for the two final cuts. I am looking for my breakfast!

A dense piece of research material. Well worth a read and some thought.

Still a valid subject and one we should be thinking about.

What is it? This is difficult I shan't leave it up for long.

The Wild Bunch up on Letcliffe twenty years ago.... We convened every day and a wide range of subjects was discussed. Happy days and long forgotten....

See THIS BBC report on Nigel Farage's view of the Trump visit. Nigel Farage has said it is "shoddy" that Donald Trump will not have the chance to address Parliament during his unprecedented second state visit. It comes after it was announced the US president will begin a three-day trip on ...

New batch chicken and veggies X three and I cooked savoury onion and cabbage for a useful extender.

Yesterday we had much more sun than the forecast suggested and the first rain I saw all day was a spatter of big drops at 19:30 as I was going to bed. This morning we have a breeze, broken overcast and it is dry. The glass is up slightly on 1009mb and the forecast is for a cool day of wind and heavy...

See THIS for a long awaited verdict.... It has been 866 days since the remains of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon's baby daughter Victoria were discovered at an allotment site near Brighton in a Lidl carrier bag. Pathologists are still not sure exactly how she died - but today a jury decided that w...

See THIS for more information about the Southend air crash.... A woman who was killed when a small plane crashed at London Southend Airport was on her first day as a "flight nurse", the BBC understands. Maria Fernanda Rojaz Ortiz, 31, was a German citizen born in Chile and had previously w...

Good luck with it!
I shall be in the shed early doors, it's a bit cooler in there now. We are promised a wet windy and cold day. That being the case I shall watch it through the window! I have a very relaxed attitude to exercise these days.....

Good, more accurate Ian. The bots will pick it up if anyone else searches....

I learned about Cyril Smith when I was involved with Rochdale and that same question bothered me David. I came to the conclusion that he knew where too many bodies were buried and if he had been attacked he could have opened up multiple cans of worms..... As for reading books, I have virtually given...

I like them all!

Susan mailed me the other day to describe something she had seen down in Kent. It was a Kestrel making a kill of a hedge sparrow on the hedge ten feet away and she had a ringside seat for the strike, the butchering and the eating. She said that afterwards she went to look and there wasn't even a fea...

IDF said to warn against Gaza ‘humanitarian city’; ex-PM brands it ‘concentration camp’ Military reportedly tells ministers plan for large civilian zone may harm hostage talks, take months to build; opposition chief and international officials ...

"We had a beer instead." I like that Sue! That would have been my choice as well! 29C is too hot. We are looking at 22C with up to a -3C wind chill and tomorrow the forecast high is 17C, well below the seasonal norm. I am back up after my second sleep and I'm fancying making some savoury ...

No shed this morning, it's too warm in there especially as it is also humid. There's no need for me to punish myself. I shall have an early breakfast and go back to bed for second sleep.... Se you all tomorrow!

While looking at the fate of Pagan Temples in the Isles I came across this information. Some of the comments feel quite modern!
