I do worry about you sometimes Stefan

Thanks for your concern, Steve! I was just being sarcastic in this case though.

We put old sheets around our tree and just shook it. Ended up giving half of them away - far too many for us to eat.

No worries, it wasn't my finest moment

Been there myself actually! 3 Stitches later ..

It's all part of the territory!

Nitromors sounds interesting. Will have a look around and see if there's a Swedish equivalent.

We have it in Denmark under the same name. But I don't know about you boys in the colonies ;-)

Remember December 4th, 1676!

Yes, I've just had to put the gas fire on...

I've noticed that before, when it's warm here, it's cold in Blighty and vice versa.

I agree, from boiling hot a few days ago I'm now wearing a jumper and my warm, comfy slippers.

Hmm... I've just decided that everything Pre-Grouping is fair game. Feel better now.

You can always fall back on Stars, Castles and Kings for some Swindon therapy. Good old David and Charles.

That's true, I shouldn't feel threatened by one book.

Don't like the gratuitous violence and depiction of bloodshed in that film - that's what the heck I mean

"What the heck do you mean?" is a line from the movie, nothing more.

'You may well say that, I could not possibly comment' - that's a line from another show!

Is that the British version of If a woodchuck could chuck Wood?

Wow viper, are they poisonous? We don't get snakes here,

Yes, they are. St. Patrick never made it to Sweden.

That's good?

10000 new members in less than three years is pretty amazing (I Think?)

It just stuck in my mind, for no particular reason.

Thanks!

Happy New Year Stefan

And to you, Jim!

They were brilliant when my card was gobbled by an ATM.

They cancelled my account today (I've never had one)

I used to work for them... bloomin bunch of tits... rubbish, trust me.

Same to you and all in Sweden! Happy Christmas Stefan and the little corner of Northern Europe that is forever GWR...

Thanks Castle!

I hope Santa will bring us all plenty of GWR-stuff!

And a Merry Christmas to you, Jonte!

More work on the Pannier will follow shortly, must stuff my face for a few days first though.

Looks like the snow has missed us for now on the Wirral...

About 40 miles north of Stockholm

It was about 40c down here on Saturday. Hot summer is an understatement...

+24 and the wife has a cold and does not want the air con on.

No thanks. Please take it back!

It's supposed to get colder too, so it might be snowy for a while.

Where are you? Blummin cold in Bristol but no signs of snow just yet! :-)

I would tell you but I've lost the calculator ;-)

Good idea! I'm starting a little book today. First entry: Two bufferheads, three hours.

It's not just me then. Sometimes I misplace things as soon as they are put down ( tweezers !)
