Is it a skinning knife? The long slim blade looks like it could slide easily down bone. The middle sized blade looks like it would cut skin. Nolic

Beef casserole prepared and cooked last night as both Cath and I will be home later than normal tonight. Nolic

This morning preparing my presentation for my assessed micro-teach on Friday , the final part of my new teaching qualification for adults. If I pass then its just a matter of submitting all my assignments and fingers crossed. I'm looking forward to visiting a children's home this afternoon and meeti...

Belle, the date of the cutting would be after 1968. The article referring to Bent appearing at Letcliffe Park says that they play Cream and Free numbers. Cream were formed in late 1966 but Free were not formed until 1968 but only became famous after the release of "All Right Now" in 1970. ...

Wendy, pm in relation to the above on its way to you. Nolic

Careful Comrade, I've used a Filofax for the past 20 years and still do. Better than an electronic calender for planning work and keeping odds and sods safe. Nolic

The only thing that comes to mind is that the first company is the owner of the shed and possibly rents out loom and power. The second is another company actually operating as a manufacturer. Nolic

Congratulations and best wishes to you all. Charlotte's ain't all sugar and spice.... at least mine isn't. Nolic

Lancashire's Designer Village - designated as such by Lancashire Life now boasts a large new car park. This is the only sign of the Booth's development that has been stuttering along for the past 34 years or so. Unfortunately the car park though much needed is fenced off and not available for use. R...

Jamie, I stand corrected. For some reason the original phrase from the ELV's came to mind. Nolic

Tripps, both scrums and lineouts are for re-starts in the game and are generally what distinguishes rugby union from league. Part of the skill in lineouts is to try to read your opponents calls/intended placement of the ball and to be able to move your men to attack the ball or to form a defensive m...

Anyone else watch Mrs Brown's Boys on BBC 1 ? Almost surreal with plenty of bad language and a recognition that there is an audience out front and camera's recording. Brendan O'Carroll is brilliant as the Dublin matriarch and the rest of the cast are sometimes surprised by his antics. One of the few...

Same here Bruff. I used to watch on large screen at Colne and Nelson clubhouse but the Timmy Taylors had a bad effect on my eyes. I now watch at home with a nice cup of coffee. I hope England manage to get the ball out to the backs -if so we'll see France on their back legs. Anyone for a bet as to h...

I've just got a portion of what I hope is sweet and sour chicken out of the freezer for lunch. Memo to self and wife, remember to label leftovers that go in the freezer. Nolic

Watched a recorded Ch 4 documentary last night about the real war horses in WW1. Presented by a vet with footage from old interviews of former cavalry conscripts it was a good informative and well presented programme. It also followed the exploits of Gen. Jack Seeley who'e horse "Warrior" ...

I'll echo what Stanley says. Well done to all of you. Nolic

The Marmite was a jocular response to Bradder's post. I'd only eat Marmite if I was starving. I like my porridge same as Ian. 1part oats, 1 part water, 1part milk and water and a good pinch of salt then microwaved in a glass container so that you don't have a messy clean. I then have it with fruit a...

I must admit the cauli cheese with a slice of bread was a real change and a likely improvement on leek and spud.
Now for porridge with Marmite for breakfast. Nolic

Top las Jules. Good luck in the new job. Nolic

Lunch was to be leek and potato soup from out of the freezer. Looks and tastes remarkably like cauliflower cheese to me though!!!!Nolic

Belle, I would be more inclined to take notice of your "ethics" if you made a financial contribution to the well-being of the site. Nolic

Belle, I make no apologies for "banging on and on". If you use the site and value it why not donate? I just cannot understand why people who obviously find some value in using the site can find some justification for not making a small contribution to its operation. There are others who th...
