Piltdown man?

Chicken, Veggie and Noodle Soup. One pot full, two dinners.

I have used a VPN in the past, placing myself somewhere in London.
But they've got wise to people doing this now so neither the BBC or ITV players are accessible through that method.

Which Linux variant (`flavour', as they are called) are you using, Mick? Snipped for brevity I'm using the latest version of Mint. I have an older Mint version (possibly Cinnamon) on an ancient desktop computer I've had kicking around for yonks and it has served me well. I'm going to ditch the old ...

Today I had the fun of trying to get an old laptop (which I have inherited from my wife the other day) to talk to my ancient printer scanner. No luck even though I still had, by some miracle, the original installation software on a disc. I put Linux on a bootable USB stick and ran it as a live disc....

The War Memorial in Barlick was well attended this morning for the 11 o'clock maroon and two minutes silence, probably about 50 people or thereabouts. Our remembrance service is on Sunday afternoon on the Town Square and will be followed by the wreath laying at the memorial. The cemetery in the nex...

I am saying nowt on the grounds that I may incriminate myself, m'lud

Without saying much until others respond, we were "disappointed" with it

We made a big pot of Vegetable Curry last night. Another two dinner dinner.
And, it will be so much better tonight after having 24 hours to "fester" in between

Why have elephants got big ears?



Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.

Names added.

Church Road, just West of St Mary's church

Taken from approximately the junction of Skipton Road and Coates Avenue, I believe

I got almost all of that fallen tree sawn up. It just needs loading into the wheelbarrow and moving into position then stacking on the pile.

No, I cooked it further once the Hoisin Sauce had been added.

How about "yer wanner me arse"

This is how it turned out (before I added the Hoisin Sauce)
There was enough left over to make a lunch "for the lad"

Maungy or mawngy. Don't really know how you'd spell it.

To sulk or be sulking.

"stop being so mawngy"

This tree which is on my neighbours property, close to the border with ours.
It always looks nice at this time of the year.

Well, although I had a lazy evening having pizza I did prep something for the day after. I'd bought 4 small pieces of Angus beef that day and I put two of them in the freezer. The remaining two I thinly sliced into strips and threw them into a zip lock bag containing chopped ginger root and garlic a...

I think I've just about replaced all our light bulbs with LED now and none of them have died yet.

Why did I say that...

I have to go into town today for the "Full Retail Experience" so I will pick up a pizza on the way home and have a night off from cooking.

yes, it's an Audubon bird caller.
You twist the wooden part to make the call.

Ok, Stanley, yer up.

When I came in late from playing out with my mates my Gran would always ask `Wurastabin?' The answer was usually `Ont tops' which was a reference to the waste ground opposite the cotton mill. Happy days! :smile: We used to play on "the middins", the stone roofs of the outside lavs and coa...

The Bacon, Leek and Potato Soup is gone. I finished it up for lunch today.
Tonight I'm going to make a Chicken and Green Bean stove top hotpot using chicken thighs.

I was going to make a Spaghetti Bolognese but I was out voted 2 to 1.
(my wife gets 2 votes, apparently)
