Is it a simple lathe for stripping bark from narrow tree trunks?

It looked like the woman was in a panic and trying to get out of the way. The ICE officer was injured but taken to hospital and released. These ICE officers were not wearing body cameras - how convenient. If they'd been police officers there would have been body camera footage to show what really h...

Apparently she was shot through the side window of the car so highly unlikely that the officer was in danger of being run over.

Reported recently that U.S. Forces have seized the ship using helicopters from bases in the UK.

Are the grinders for handling and refining the clay?

It was actually a few weeks ago on Santa Fun Run day. Mention in another thread of Cockshott Bridge (bridge 152) by the marina on the canal jogged my memory. I Think it was early last year or maybe the year before that I noticed that the C.I. water feed pipe that is attached to the marina side of th...

Excellent news Peter.

I thought that persons charged with a felon had the right to be tried by their peers! In my book that would be in a Venezuelan court surely? Or am I naive in that assumption? As it stands a US court is bound to be biased to some degree.

Look at the -4, pic taken from dashboard, it’s a guy sat on the loo.

It's the outside temperature.

Sorry Cathy, I should have explained a bit better. I should have said, copy the image URL from the Gallery then use the image insertion Icon in the post editor to insert the copied URL into your post.

Its also good as an indicator for the correct temperature to heat and bend aluminium.

I learnt that off a tin basher, (a better name for a metalwork fabricator)

Vending at Bosom Friends Coffee Morning. Will be out shortly to take the provisions, (Crumpets and Raisin and Cinnamon Bagels) put the heating on and switch the boiler on.

Yes, Happy New Year everyone.

Family meal at ours today, eight probably. Just done the spuds for roasting and mash, sprouts, carrots, pork, (roasted yesterday) and Yorkshire puddings. Baked Camembert for starters.

One and a half hours on the train to get to Leeds. :ohno: The direct one is 40 minutes. Its more or less the same distance as Skipton to Leeds, Which has about 10 stops but only takes 40 minutes. It must be a clockwork engine or something! Why oh why are we still using a Victorian rail system when w...

Just received an update, Ruby scooped up but the direct train to Leeds has been cancelled. They have found another one but it has multiple stops to get there. Fortunately there will be no repeat when Ruby goes home, Our Jack is taking her home to Stratford, his girlfriend Lucy's parents live in Rugb...

Sally has just sent me a message on WhatsApp, an update on today's travel arrangements. I dropped her off this morning in Skipton for the train. She has to go to Sheffield now to meet our Ruby, for some bizarre reason the Birmingham train up north doesn't go to Leeds any more, what the hell is that ...

My dads dog Lassie, (Collie) used to walk along the parapet when we went for a Sunday walk. On one occasion she jumped off to chase a rabbit she had seen, she didn't catch it and it was a bit of a trial getting her back up and out of the cutting.

When I was a lad you used to be able to walk through the tunnel at the Barnsey end to get to the fishing length at Rainhall. There were some very nice Perch in that stretch and nice lilly pads and weed beds. Fishing rights were held by the Marsden Star Angling Club, you could also but day tickets at...

The tank was cut up for scrap in 1932 or 35 I think. Flying of model aircraft is banned in most public parks as is metal detecting. H & S on the first one and digging holes in municipal parks, even though a decent detectorist would always fill their holes and replace turf etc, if you do it right...

I have been absent for a while but hey ho, merry Christmas to everyone and I hope you all have a happy and peaceful New Year.

Looks like some kind of clock, at Greenwich maybe, one of John Harrisons?

We should say hello to the Winter Solstice of course, the correct turning of Autumn to the Winter Months.

Been to the gym, home, changed and I have got the rice pudding in the slow cooker for afters tonight. Waiting for Sally to come home from "Ladies who Lunch" and then I will run her on to Burnley hospital for another appointment for a different issue. 4pm so Burnley and approaches will be r...
