Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
I shall be in the shed this morning starting on the next phase of making three crankshafts out of solid steel...... I know.... It's a long drawn out job but the end result, if done right, is beautiful and practical. Time is of no matter to me, indeed, the longer it takes the less my workshop experie...

Re: Seen in the News
I saw that report Peter and had the same reaction. I think the root of the problem is that they have no funding to actually make a difference and so in common with a lot of other public services all they can do in the way of action is issue denials and anodyne, weasel-worded statements. As a country...

A clever skit on the song but I don't understand two things, the last line and the mention of 'ramping' further back.

Re: 'Owt else or Any Other Business
I envy you you#re knowledge of chess David. They once tried to teach me the art at grammar school but failed miserably. It had no attraction for me whatsoever. I am very happy for you!

See THIS BBC reportabout late night sittings..... Rishi Sunak's flagship Rwanda bill is set to become law after five months of Westminster wrangling. It designates Rwanda a safe country and is a key part of the government's plans to send some asylum seekers there. The bill has been fiercely criticis...
Re: GOOD TV
I decided to watch Line of Duty again and started last night. I think it was perhaps the best police drama ever..... Like Gloria I have the advantage that I have forgotten most of the plot so it is all new to me!

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Glad to hear they patched you up successfully Pete.... I'll say it again, I am so lucky in these matters. Just the odd brush with cancer and diabetes.... which, as long as I am sensible, don't seem to cause any worries at all.
I wish you the same for the next 30 years Pete....

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.....

Re: POLITICS CORNER
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 ...

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
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?

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
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.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
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.
