The 'instructions' don't help, either.

Blu tak

So what kit is it?

Interesting...

Yes, I keep a personal record of the event and celebrate it every year on the following day ...

I hadn't realised things had changed until 1951...

And make it compulsory for them to attend?

The good bit is that thanks to you I know about Hold and Folds. And yes to the compulsory!

I am photographing the stages prior to blogging. However punching 406 rivets takes a bit of time - and this is only a coal wagon.

We seem to have got to the age where we get food parcels!

Slippers? Dressing gown?

Don't keep us hanging or we'll make summat up that sounds far worse....

Fleece gilet - find they have the right degree of cover with the right amount of freedom.

p*** off.... :0)

And I will nearly be a year older, again.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

In brussels?!!

I've just finished peeling a mountain of sprouts!

Put a nice red tablecloth on it John.Happy Christmas.

so is our's and it has four legs too, the rug under it has met the hoover as well the festive tablecloth is tomorrows job.

Merry Xmas John, soon be covered again!

... to put on the floor. Then we said sod it, let's do it tomorrow and did what all academics do - had a sherry.

And after that (it was a largeish sherry) managed to spatter yorkie pud batter all over the kitchen as I lifted the zapper out to test that it worked. It did.

That happened to me on my last evening in a previous (rented) house. Put some RMs on the shelf in my bedroom so I wouldn't forget they were there (and wondered why I hadn't thought of putting them there before as the shelf was just the right width). 2 hours later - large crash as the shelf collapsed! Fortunately the landlord didn't seem to mind too much....

What's Dr. McCoy doing in there?

You should worry, our local branch of Morrison's was selling hot cross buns yesterday!

It's worse than that it's dead Jim

Cowley hasn't 'gone' yet, but I think it's only a matter of time, river rising rapidly at the moment, protection boom in place across the tracks of main and Barnstaple lines to protect S&T equipment further down

Yeah; did mine last night - like scouring out a nuclear bunker...

Contented-heaven!

mine just gets the first aid kit out ...

And now ion an expedition to find something - and found the Christmas lights. Now to trying to remember what the something was I was trying to find in the first place.

Where am I?

oh, most places do those these days...!!

Sky hook? Skirting hammer? Left handed screwdriver? Ain't got any of them.

at an engineering firm I used to work for we sent a YTS lad from drawing office to stores for a long weight, after runnaging around for 10 minutes storeman tells him he can't find one and "would a short one do?" - lad toddles back to us and we say yes and send him back. Storeman makes him wait another 10 mins!

Our taps are mixer taps - so not suitable as drinking water supply.

Is that classed as an "own goal"?

Rather an own goal than a student got it.

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you wonder why I'd have 'em all shot!

No, I don;t wonder, just don't express it as succinctly or eloquently as you do.

Kids will kids. Get over it.

Lack of parental application of the word 'No' comes to mind.

It's the same everywhere. They grow out of it eventually.....problem is, it takes time!
