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.

Yesterday afternoon managed to stay dry but it was always cold. At 20;00 it was calm and overcast but dry. First thing this morning it was calm and clear and the CH was on. It is still calm and clear. The glass has risen to 1016mb and is still rising. The forecast is for a sunny start slowly becomin...

We won't blame you Sue, from the look of the forecast it's getting it out of the system ready for Flaming June! I shall be in the shed this morning working on converting a rough casting into a good cylinder. After second sleep I fancy making a savoury rice and onion dish. Not sure yet but I think Su...

I went looking for such a video Wendy but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for that Peter! Definitely good news. I keep wondering what the affects of AI will be on both the ability to hack other computers and the investigations into the hackers. I suppose we will never know.
All an old bloke like me can do is keep his head down!

When I was in California I learned a lot about the instability in slopes that can be caused by water lubricating the boundaries between layers. The more rain we get the more chance there is of this happening I suppose. I can't get away from politics in the news this morning. See THIS verdict on Star...

In Barlick I am basking in the warmth of the CH..... We are promised 16C today Kev and yes, the glass and the temperature are slowly rising as we advance towards Flaming June.

I wouldn't put it past them Kev!

See THIS for Chris Mason's latest take on the Starmer left wing purge. (I think David is spot on with his analysis that Starmer was blind-sided and has been forced to do his purge of Lefties harder and faster.) Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of carrying out a purge of left-wing candidates ahead o...

Women in church. Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.   ...

With Wendy in mind......

9C here if you allow for the wind chill Kev. Heating is on. It's raining as well and when it started this morning it was really big drops.... almost like thunder rain.

Yes Sue, I think you're right. The trend for the next week is brighter drier and warmer but not much!
We were lucky yesterday and had good weather for our gathering in the Square. It's raining now and the CH is on. Deep Joy!

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28828/medium I hate woodturning, it's so messy but I had to start the day by making a plug for the cylinder so that centres could be accurately marked as their position is essential for making other measurements. As soon as that was done I c...

Latest news coming in suggests that there is a movement inside Starmer's version of Labour that is actively discouraging or excluding left wing candidates. That makes sense when you consider the latest cock-ups. This is disastrous. I said earlier that Labour getting power isn't a done deal and none ...
