That’s absurd!

Sometimes the old stuff is the best. Maybe worth a gamble at the price and then ask your local kitchen shop or chef for a recommended knife sharpener.

Whilst not specifically drawn to them I’m more than happy to read them. Same way I enjoy different music genres a good story is a good story.
Not sure if they are classified as romance but they deal with relationships, really enjoyed RF Delderfield, A horseman came riding by, Swann saga etc.

Forgot to say - for our youngest it’s Easter Egg shaped gingerbread biscuits with a thick layer of icing so we don’t escape the sugar high.

Likewise with our youngest - although it does make finding suitable advent calendars for Christmas rather challenging.

I loved the systems they developed for Apollo photo reconnaissance program. Basically they sent up an automatic wet room to process the film, roll the developed film over a raster sensor and effectively faxed back the image a strip at a time.

I’ve just been reading a 1960s NASA report on the Apollo photo reconnaissance program. Using wet film cameras and automatically “on site” developing the film and running it over a rastering sensor effectively faxing the image back to Earth.

Fully concur. Subscribed an an excellent read.

Thanks for that, there is a certain Victorian elegance with these locos. Although there are kits available I usually end modifying them anyway so this one is entirely scratch built, 1:43 scale, apart from the wheels. Usually buy wheels and motor.

Modellers workbench with metal model of a LNWR Precursor Tank loco and a few tools.

After fixing a few little jobs around the house finally managed to get back to my workbench for an hour or so. Added a few more bits to a scratch built Precursor tank loco.

“some”??!!

A giraffe painting a lion from a different perspective and the image is slightly more phallic.

Not sure which was first but the one I remember is the painting of the lion.

You should see the giraffes painting of a Lion then. He’s got a reputation.

The alt text neglects to mention the photographer in the mirror behind you!

Many a true word spoken in jest.

The brilliant thing about this is that it is a British disused railway station just outside Manchester, England.

and then some idiot thought it would be a brilliant idea to cross breed them with a poodle for cockapoo. So then you have a lunatic dog with no common sense and no off switch.

Hold on a minute I thought that the top priority last week was pump prices, nothing to do with the war.

Trump Always Chickens Out.

and Warren Mitchell was a staunch socialist and Labour Party supporter.

because it’s losing our sovereignty, every man and his dog recognise that British society started to collapse when Channel 4 was launched. The sooner we return to 3 channels which close at 11pm to the sound of God Save the King then the sooner things will start to improve.

Yes but it required the British decryption of the Zimmermann telegram presented to the US to finally persuade them to engage and respond.

and even then it required British subterfuge to “persuade” the US into the wars.

What beggars belief is that people are still swallowing their snake oil. Yet all the evidence of their councillors going into local government to “reduce waste” in every single case has done the exact opposite.

because they were too busy investigating Al Fayed?

ooops no that never happened either.

You’d think that a snake oil salesman would know what snake oil tastes like. Obviously not.

Very redolent of the cover art of Iain Bank’s book The Crow Road. ❤️

This is why I’m here:

I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.

Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was sixteen, to her sister, Kate a few months later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/10

Yes.
