Stones and a hole, but I'm counting this as woodwork because it involved wood (and also because we don't have a general building forum).

Ah janey, now I've got a dilemma: which thread to update first - woodwork or footwork?

Maybe you'll get both; it all depends on when the DPD man turns up.

Came across this while doing some serious research this afternoon - watch to the end for full enjoyment. :mrgreen: Sally O'Brien was all the rage the summer I spent in the Gaeltacht; where a lad in the house re-phrased the second classic line, to take account of the fact that yerman was stuck in th...

For most of January, this was the message that greeted me when I logged on: https://i.postimg.cc/nL8n89d2/gubu-newposts.jpg Things have been little better during February, because even if there is a slightly longer list of new posts since last visit, those posts are mostly the "old man yelling ...

Howaryiz ... Have just spent a fortnight wearing out my eardrums in the company of two dozen gabby relatives (none of whom has ever kissed the Blarney stone); and come home to find myself with an unexpected houseguest for a week. No, not her :cry: ; another her - one of my festival buddies - whose i...

It's very shiny! I'd be afraid to get it dirty.

Every so often, I'd get a half-page request to contribute despite never having done so.

That might have been the only one they didn't play. Otherwise, the full catalogue of Christmas classics.

EV economics. A new electric Citroën is coming to a forecourt near me next year at a price that's really quite sensible (barely 10k with subsidies) and I started wondering if it'd be a good time to trade in the 19-year-old Mégane that serves as my runaround. So I took a gander at the EV discussions ...

Something didn't work properly as far as the feeder is concerned, as it was almost completely empty instead of being only half-empty, and there was a quantity of un-eaten biscuits in the dog-bed suggesting that all five appetites had been well-satisfied.

One of the YouTubers I follow (Anglo-French woman, owns a chateau about half an hour north of me) had an English guy come to visit last week (another chateau-owner), and great fuss was made of the English sausages and British black pudding he brought with him as a gift. He proudly bragged about the ...
