  1. Try 3mm fine masking tape easier to get the line then mask over the top of that. used to use it years ago when putting pin stripes on cars
  2. Ah but! Going on your thinking No2 should be GRP
  3. He needs all the support he can get. And I didn't know they made Lycra material that wide.
  4. This is what she looked like in 1897 Photo from National historic ships UK
  5. Problem was with 60/70's cars was you didn't see the rust. Just where it had been before it left the car. Often in large lumps in the road
  6. Plus I think 4.5million in gift aid on top of that
  7. Agree with you there Grendel. Modern ones I don't know what they are made from but they don't seem to have the same spark to them when you sharpen them. As an apprentice I must have spent years of my life sharpening drills. Of all sizes from minute to blooming gigantic. For all forms of metal, larger ones with waste flutes in them. My jeans always seemed to disintegrate quicker when doing that. I wonder why?
  8. Flixton Buck Wow what memory. Oft to be found outside of there waiting with my Mother and Godmother, waiting for my Father and Godfather to come back out. Those were the days
  9. But your an archaeologist! Most of that doesn't work now. Especially the people.
  10. Possibly something to do with your yoga teachers techniques. Are you sure she didn't hypnotize you and put you out for the afternoon?
  11. Right pin back your lugholes and feast on these topics. A certain Norfolk seaside town. Norfolk towns of a certain ending. Not what they seem Break for T&P Cartoon voices. A certain year. General foolishness Friday 24th 20:30 chatroom https://www.nbnquiz.co.uk/chat/ Just enter a name and press Login Don't be shy give it a try, usually more stupidity than you can handle.
  12. With the amount of rain in Kent last night I should think he was more than afloat And too much rum his head may be swimming
  13. Better tell that to all of the migrants still plying across the channel to the UK
  14. Yes learnt all about Hass's and Rolliflex when I was young. In the outskirts of the village was the holiday cottage of the late great Aubrey Buxton (Think Survival from Anglia TV ). An old family friend getting aged I used to sometimes bike down to hers, with some shopping and help her out doing small jobs, lived on the opposite end of the row of cottages to the Buxtons. Visitors during the summer used to be all sorts of wildlife celebs I even got to meet Peter Scott on many occasions. There were always lots of cameras and scopes outside simply just waiting for wildlife to appear. The shots often appearing on Scotts TV programme.
  15. Wow What a collection! that would have been some legacy to have. The Hasselblad phone argument no sorry don't agree. Hass's are high end large frame, great cameras. Try blowing up a phone photo to 10 feet x 10 feet and then do the same with a Hass. You would then see the difference
  16. I started reading that and thought to my self. Most people won't take a Purdey into a slightly cool room.
  17. And Griff you forgot the biggest problem with a petrol engine is, some thing the Broads has a lot of, Dampness.
  18. Problem is with Yorkshiremen is. They have to venture south for a decent pint of beer. as southern beer doesn't travel we well not well enough to reach that far north They are stuck with John Smiths and Tetleys, which could be shipped to Singapore and back and still be the same cr@p that left
  19. Got to get the PMR antenna high enough
  20. Lots of places now the limit from 1st of April is £45
  21. In days gone by The Telegraph was my paper of choice. Not through political allegiance, but its news as news is approach to journalism (Also for the crossword ) Nowadays it seems as if most journos (if one can call the bad grammar and punctuation, oh and the spelling, journalism) sit at a desk and trawl Facecrook and Twatter for their stories. Which is so true for local rags. Because if it's on Social Media it must be real.
  22. And what looks like 15 foot of anchor chain linked to it
  23. So this is the state of Emergency in Spain, Beleriacs and Canaries Written by a English Notary (solicitor) in Tenerife Bold text is mine Updated 4 April: Another reminder, it’s apparently still not clear. These are the things we are allowed out for under the State of Emergency: to buy food, medicines or other basic necessities (like loo rolls, not like nail varnish) And they will ask for your receipt if they stop you.Will also check that all that you have comes from the one shop. to go to the doctor or medical establishments (this includes dentists for urgent work and opticians but they are allowed not to open) to go to work (assuming the job comes under the list of essential services) to go home after being out for a permitted reason to provide assistance and care to the elderly, children, dependents, or people who are disabled or vulnerable to go to banks and insurance offices (post offices are also open) where there is compelling reason or need (this is on the level of the house being on fire not that of feeling a need to stretch the legs) for any other similar activity to take out a dog for a wee or to do its business but no more to feed colonies of stray animals We can go on foot or by car but we must be alone, and where we go must be the nearest sensible option – i.e. we can go past small shops to get to a supermarket but we can’t go past two supermarkets to get to one we prefer. We can only go out with another person if we are helping someone disabled, elderly, or are accompanying a young child. If we are in a car, the second person must sit in the rear behind the passenger seat to maximise distance. This is not “silly”: some have told me that couples are far closer at home but legislation in an emergency cannot take account of every single circumstance, and the rule applies across the board and so covers lifts from strangers and taxi journeys too. The only time there may be more than two in a car is if the occupants are returning a vehicle to the airport to leave Spain: this includes taxis but drivers might refuse to carry more than one passenger. Police will ask for passport and boarding card if you are stopped The State of Emergency is imposed until the end of 11 April, a week today. Over the course of the next week we are likely to be told that it is to be extended, probably for another fortnight – and that might not be the end of it either. Everything else currently is speculation based on the likelihood, known from the outset, that there will have to be an extension.
  24. I must admit my time watching terrestrial TV is now limited to two hours a week at the moment. Country file (Although this is becoming a bit apolitical, in some of the farming reporting). Antiques Roadshow always watched it but even more so as one of my acquaintances is one of the experts on there. I much prefer YT some of my favourites Acorn to Arabella ( A must watch boat builders) Auto Auction Rebuilds ( Auction site walkarounds and reviving wrecks) Mustie1 ( Repairing and reviving Garden machinery, Motorbikes, Quads etc) Big Clive ( Must watch electronics and oddball things channel with a great humour) More car shows than I can fit on here Curiosity INC ( Canadian antiques shop owner very into toys and collectables and repairs cars, currently restoring a Racoon infested Rolls Royce) Franchise Kicks ( Buys and sells customer return items from Amazon etc) And lots and lots of Ham radio shows too
