I would take exception at the statement that the town switched allegiance to Lancashire. I would think that most Barlicker's who know where they are and the fact that the Ridings are still in statute would take exception to that also. West Riding of Yorkshire please, argue with the Danes if you want...

You can say that again Stanley, Planning and particularly Building regs have been a marathon, the latter all around the knee jerk Tory fire regs. On the new build the lift will be installed by the manufacturers so James has to get the void in the ceiling bang on. The rear fire escape may impact our ...

On a lighter note, Wharfedale 14's against Ilkley. A very close run game. They were level up to 1 min before full time when Ilkley were awarded a penalty, successfully kicked so the score ended at Ilkley 15, Wharfedale 12. As always in Rugby the game ended with congratulations all round and medals f...

I forgot to mention that finally we have our Building Regs passed along with all other planning. We had a site meeting with our builder 10 a couple of Staurdays ago. He says he can make a start this month but will have to have about 10 days off in April as he has had to take on other work while wait...

Going to support our Finlay at Rugby.

Wharfedale 14's are in the YC Plate Final against Ilkley on the 1st team pitch. Should be a good match. We are booked for Sunday lunch in the clubhouse after the game.

They were celebrating Octoberfest at the bar Stanley.

Tonight it's quiz night at St Joseph's in conjunction with our gym KL Health Hub. There will be music as required, a pie and pea supper, raffle and possibly a round of "sit down bingo". Bar will be staffed so It should be a good night.

I once bought a copy of an old engineering book published by a company who reckoned to specialise in 'rescuing' old classics. It was totally unreadable for the same reason. I gave it away after complaining, went out and found an old secondhand edition which proved to be cheaper! Just been listening...

Have you tried a different application to Gimp, maybe Irfanview or something similar, if you can get it for Linux?

I think it maybe a view looking strait up under a substantial church tower or dome, pretty fancy anyway.

The courier firm Evri who have gone into administration. I have a parcel which according to tracking should be delivered today but is shown at their depot waiting to be delivered, might not happen..... :sad: I thought it was one of their partner operations, Pedal and Post in Oxford. I believe the p...

Yes, it started life as an industrial floor cleaner.

Don't know about yours Stanley. I had one myself last night that I can fully recall. We were on town and someone told us to go home as their was a lad with a fishing rod and line in the back street. He had managed to get his hook stuck in the length of Paracord used to fasten my wire antenna to a ri...

Happy Birthday Gloria.

You may bump into Doc and Carole who are in the vicinity somewhere.

All OK at my donation session today. Haemoglobin test passed no problem. Noted from the notes you have to read before donation that the Haemoglobin test routine has changed. Initial test is still in the Copper Sulphate solution, if your pin prick blood sinks you are good to go. If you fail that the ...

saying "this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with". Does he not realise that Churchill has been dead for 60 years. I heard that the Kim Jun variant that leads North Korea has tipped his hat in the ring. He said he recognises the Illegal war being prosecuted against Iran by The USA ...

Will be tested at blood donors tomorrow. I have booked an afternoon slot at Colne Muni. I did gym today but I am hoping it wont dip my iron levels like it did last session. I noted from the blood donor newsletter that is sent out to regular donors that the number of eligible donors has dropped from ...

Our gym, to put in a less than adequate effort into this mornings circuit training session. I am still not fully recovered from yesterdays EVO session which was week four of the program so a testing session. Weights increase somewhat. 8-10 reps of RDL squats with 2 x 12.5kg dumbbells, 40kg on the sh...

The security tower was still there in 2023 but it's all gone now as well as the old mill building, just a blank brownfield massive slab of concrete. I always thought they would have kept the tower.

It's the top grinding stone from a mill I reckon, hopper at the back to feed the grain to the wheels?

Is it a staple remover?

Over here the meteorologists would have you believe that today is the first day of Spring. Making things that you have no control over such as our orbit around our sun bend to your fantasies is pointless. Our planet's Spring Equinox in the UK will be on the 20th of March so in another 19 days. It's ...

It's a simple matter for me. Trumps actions are a direct contravention of International Law. So by default he should be arrested and tried as such.

Who said he had the right to make arbitrary decisions about another countries future.

He is criminal, full stop>
