Re. Menzies..... I have seen some stuff on LBC and boy was I right about it getting murkier. I logged out of it all, too sleazy and depressing.

I keep forgetting to post that I have just finished reviewing series 1&2 of Blue Lights..... Really enjoyed it and I have an idea there is a third series. Also of course the snooker to fall back on.....

Same here Sue, a rainy forenoon but not heavy. I am back up after second sleep and have just put a load of washing in. Standards are being maintained! But I'll admit that so far, that's the limit of my housework.....

I spent 45 minutes putting the smaller 4 jaw independent chuck on the lathe and setting up a crankshaft blank parallel and true using the dial indicator. Then I fitted the parting tool with the indexed...

It is still an important matter. Be seen in bad conditions!

We've already covered the announcement that Mark Menzies will not be standing again in the General Election. Apart from that there is no other matter claiming our attention in domestic politics. Mar Sunak attempts to give the impression he is in power and controls the administration. I suspect that ...

The triangular section of the ruler ensures that if it is set down on a piece of shafting it automatically adjusts itself to lying parallel with the centre of the shaft. It was used for marking key ways or similar cuts on a shaft. A very clever little tool.
Next object?

THIS Heads almost all the BBC news this morning. MP Mark Menzies will stand down at the next election and has quit the Conservative Party, after it found he had shown a "pattern of behaviour" falling below the standards for MPs. The Fylde MP had been accused of using party money to pay of...

Yesterday afternoon remained overcast but dry and it was still the same at 20:00 when I went to bed. First thing this morning it was calm and overcast but dry. Since then it has started raining. The glass is steady on 1027mbv and the forecast is for rain until early afternoon when it will dry up but...

Amazing what a difference a good dry day makes even if there was no sun!
I shall be in the shed for an hour as usual and apart from that there is nothing on my social calendar!
Looks as though we could have rain for much of the day so I shall leave any decisions about walks until then.

I hope you enjoy it Pete! Last time I was at Crow Wood was when Jim 'Crow' Jackson was farmer and chair of the Milk Marketing Board at the time. If I remember right he was called 'Wry-neck' as well because when he was younger he was bitten in the neck by a sow and carried his head at an angle..... T...

Ian, I am definitely not arguing with you or criticising you. All I can do is report what happens and as David says, the site was miserably slow. I am grateful for what you do for us.
Thanks for that Kev, I have done it but no appreciable difference, still lightning fast.

That made me laugh out loud Kev!

Lovely!
(I see he has quit the Tories. That was news to me.)

I had chicken and Veggies. I also cooked my savoury mince and fried my sweet potato chips. I shall noy die of starvation just yet.

Horace Rumpole personified. If someone tries to steal your watch, by all means fight them off. If someone sues you for your watch, hand it over and be glad you got away so lightly.   John Mortimer.     I’ve enjoyed legal humor, aka laughing at the law, since my dad first told me of Mark Twain’s find...

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28655/medium Complete change this morning. I left the shaft blanks on one side and addressed the matter of squaring up the top and bottom (including the holding down bolt lugs) of the base casting as it is too wide to fit in my vise and it w...

Morning Cathy. Yes, rain is much more welcome with you than it is here. We have had far too much this winter and many crops haven't been planted, we will suffer for it later in the year.....
I hope you have a nice day and just as much rain as you need and not too much. (I see Sydney got too much.)

CANAL MATTERS 02 John Bagshawe, owner of the Coates Estate is having a bit of bother with the canal company. Read on. The canal company proposed to do away with what was the existing Skipton Road at Greenberfield and take the line down the east side of the canal to Gill thus saving two bridges and i...

See THIS BBC account of a very disturbing matter. The policing minister has said he is "deeply concerned" after a Met Police officer described an antisemitism campaigner as "openly Jewish" during a pro-Palestine march. Gideon Falter, chief executive of Campaign Against Antisemiti...

The luxury of lightning fast servers.....

We used to have a go-to service that could help with things like that but they tell me that Trading Standards is so short-staffed and loaded with statutory duties that they can't spare time for individual complaints. I do the same as you, simply boycott them and hope enough people join me to make a ...

I think you're right Ian, Grenfell casting a long shadow. Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted? Sorry to hear it's affecting tour plans.
Lovely pic David and yes, that used to be a common sight at any large works didn't it. I doubt if it is common today......
