It's a Huntsman, Cathy is right and according to the late Big Harry they don't bite, they just catch flies.....
Next for shaving?

"Site is operational this morning." Depends what you mean by operational..... :biggrin2: I'm still getting routine 502 errors and delays. I've just been listening to Marta Lane Fox on 'The Week in Westminster' and I have a big problem with her and many others like her. They talk so fast t...

I posted this for Sue.... Stanley. Morning I can’t get on the site again today so here is my daily diary. Bob is off to an engineers meeting in Derby today so I shall be pottering at home. I shall plant out my beetroot plants , clear the washing and the ironing, clean the fridge out and finish packi...

I'll second that! It's a face freezer out there. (They forecast -4C wind chill for this time of day and I think they were right!) I've been for my walk and done a small shop at the Co-op for one or two bits I missed yesterday. So few customers in there and such big gaps on the shelves it makes me wo...

I think that would be a common story 50 years ago Gloria. Time has whittled them down but I think we still have three . More if you include bakers of pies.

Still on Line of Duty binge. Rattling good stuff!

I'm back up and browning my chicken. I shall go for a short walk as soon as I have done this. All is well!

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28679/medium The task this morning was easy. I cleaned up yesterday and left Mrs Harrison sat there waiting for the next crankshaft blank. I went out there this morning and wasted the best part of half an hour by setting up the stock for ecc...

Still essential history!

I used an old saying this morning which I haven't heard anyone else use for years. "Lord bless the Duke of Argyll. A scratching post at every mile." I can't find any clear origin beyond the fact that the Dukes of Argyll seem to have erected scratching posts for their verminous cattle and t...

Meat and veggies X three and today I start cooking again.

At one time this was a common sight in Lancashire, the great spinning mills lit up and running a night shift. A long forgotten corner..... Daniel Meadows compared them to great ships sailing up the va...

Thanks for the links Peter! HERE'S what got my attention. The widow of a sub-postmaster who took his own life had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Post Office in exchange for staggered compensation payments, an inquiry has heard. The family of sub-postmaster Martin Griffiths also had to a...

Yesterday afternoon was an improvement on the day before in that we didn't have any spatters of rain. However, it was still cold. At 20:00 it was calm, clear and cool. This morning it's the same, I suspect we may have another frost but can't see yet. The glass is up slightly on 1003mb and the foreca...

But Ian, how can that be right when that nice Mr Sunak says that Rwanda is perfectly safe? See THIS BBC report for more on this subject..... Opposition parties have criticised Home Office minister Chris Philp for appearing to confuse two African countries on BBC Question Time. An audience member fro...

What is it?

" Guess who makes the rules that make this nonsense possible. Oh yes - it's the MP's that benefit from it. Well I never.
So you've noticed as well?
Nice collection of typos and malapropisms.

It was me Ian not David......
I know you knew but thought it would cheer you up to realise you are not alone!

Only a very slight delay in connecting so far this morning. It is accompanied by the bouncing ball in the Oneguy tab marker. Such a luxury to be able to function. We lose sight of the really important things of life and the last week has definitely reinforced how important Oneguy is to me! Let me kn...

Well at least the potatoes are sprouting! I have just had the pleasant surprise of the site starting normally. Ian must be doing some good! I shall be in the shed as normal and might cook my chicken later today. I shopped for veggies at the Co-op Yesterday. I shall crash on into the site and see how...

With Ian in mind.....

Thanks for all you're doing Ian. I shall continue to keep the site posted as best I can.

Correct Ian. It's the mortal remains of a laddering dog.
Now we need a new object.....
