  1. Thanks and will do. She did a one day avalanche course a while back: she was the least experienced skier there - and she's not a novice - and said it brought all her brown trouser moments home in one!
  2. Fraid not; she only moved out there - Les Praz - in Oct 2022
  3. Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more solstice /ˈsɒlstɪs/ noun the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination, marked by the longest and shortest days (about 21 June and 22 December).
  4. That's good going. Did the road trip from Cham, where our daughter lived (now in Les Houches), to East Sussex in June; 15 hours door to door. Thank goodness for two drivers. Merry Christmas - you deserve it
  5. I've always loved the Stones' stuff and Hackney Diamonds is a darned good album. But men of that age shouldn't be doing stuff live; I find it embarrassing. Here come the brickbats... tin hat time
  6. You mean Britpop? Agreed!
  7. I've been waiting for someone to come up with a name that grabbed me as definitely overrated and Oasis ticks that box: shite from day 1 and shite now

    Oh no - here we goby again
  11. But not just any sugar; Muscovado sugar! 😛
  12. Was it something like this? Gypsy tart WWW.BBCGOODFOOD.COM A Kent classic with a dark treacle filling, complemented by the light zesty cream. Sure to satisfy any sweet tooth, this is a dessert perfect for sharing with friends and family
  13. USA - the most advanced society on Earth?!
  14. Morning Al. Hope you're well Jon @Old Mill Tree Care
  15. And a great good morning to you too! I hope you never need the £50k p.a. meds
  16. Well I'm not offering to pay for my meds; I'm on stuff that costs the NHS £1k a week! No, I'm not going into details but there are a couple on here that will have some idea. Hence I'm massively grateful for the NHS, the fact that I paid NI for so many years and to those paying now. I salute you and wish you all a Merry Xmas!!!
  17. That's easy for you to say
  18. Were you ill with anything before the cough started? Post viral coughs often last several weeks
  19. Oh God; I'm repeating myself - I've already said all this 🤦‍♂️
  20. Same here and I'm in the 'dry' part of the country. I'm sure clients think I'm even more full of it than usual when I tell them the logs were drier in September than they are now and that they feel wet because they've re-absorbed moisture from the air. I advise people to keep their logs in the house near the fire/burner for a few days before actually burning them I've been doing logs since 2005 and the last 18 months I'd say have been the worst for drying: when it hasn't been actually raining the air has been still or thereabouts
  21. Welcome to the forum A location would help and a description of what's avialable though haulage of that amount may be worthwhile the length of the country! Good luck with it
  22. ...also used to make the hammers of quality pianos I think
  23. He deserves a shiny screwgate biner!
  24. Turners and some other woodworkers who operate beyond hobby levels love it; there's a chap on here who rarely visits now that is likely to be interested in 1" diameter sticks. The stuff's that rare over here now and usable. I actually have a handful of such sticks stored outside awaiting I don't know what or who to turn up!
  25. My dad bought a house and large garden + woodland in East Sussex in the late 60s that had been planted with pop amongst other things: the previous owner said he'd planted them for matchsticks and coffins
