Those on FB will have seen this, possibly if you are a friend, but for the benefit of a wider audience (and some skinnier ones as well):01::01: I attach pictures showing the newly refurbished long workbench down in the subterranean depths ...

This is prompted by Marianna"s question in the hatbox and there is insufficient room there to reply. Keighley which she mentioned has the River Aire flowing through it joined by the Rver Worth (as in Keighley and Worth Valley ....) and for initial flood watch scheme the Aire is divided into...

I have a collection of 43 VHS tapes which contain amongst other SW stuff the episodes of series 12 through to 28 (1990 to about 2007 when I moved to DVD recording) all recorded off air from the original broadcast. I really no longer have room for these but I am advised that they will have some...

For some time I have been attempting to buy this book published in 1983 Littlehampton Book Services imprint ISBN 0850791367 It is advertised as 128 pages. However several sites offer it for sale but when you get it you receive the Novel (basis for...

Every one ready for Doris coming tonight? Although it was 80 mph in the valleys on Tuesday - but that was not Doris - apparently!

I know we have often discussed this before with bedrooms not being where they should and this has been prompted by a photograph of the other side of Norah"s house on FB. The attached diagram is my attempt to describe how the houses intermingle. As well as doing this along the side elevation it...

Some four or five months ago I bought a tub of margarine. I find it is almost at its "use by"date yet I have used less than 50%. It was the smallest tub on offer. Not even sure if it could be frozen to extend life but that would be a messy job sorting it out and, I recall reading that freezing...

Just posted in one of the two threads labelled Jean Alexander and realised as I hit post there was the usual mis-cue on the typing. But - no edit function. A little later I replied to some one in another thread and the edit was there alongside the delete, Que?

Those who follow my posts - all two of you (they each refer to each other as Rod's other reader) - will be aware of my long saga on spell check. I have to report that at long last I have succeeded in getting it to work! And of course I have not yet had a mis-type on this entire post yet...

Sorry not been here for a few days but Firefox seemed to shifted to Yahoo not Google and it means I lost the links I had to access this, and other sites! Do not like Yahoo layout and having trouble spotting everything in a favourites box as there are so many small letters and no symbols! Any...

There will be a notable event soon! Who else knows what this is?

Today I picked up a raffle prize I won on Saturday (dementia awareness event) and amongst the lovely goodies was a packet of mint chocolates. Two things I noticed: 1) mint chocolates are always in plain chocolate never milk 2) there is no mint mentioned in the ingredients lists - presumably...
