    I do remember them, as it goes. They were a really nice couple and she was into pottery, I think? I was at Fraggle when they were there, but my bloke Bod (don't you jusy love those nicknames?) spent a bit of time with them. I'm relieved to say that even if we had met back then, you sure as hell wouldn't recognise me now.

    It literally was an old slaughter house and surrounding land. The land was developed into the large Safeways on the Eastern side of toon.
  5. Can't you blokes multi task at all? TV and AT at the same is the way to go

    YES!!! The Slaughter House, then a few others then Fraggle Rock.
  7. Very good film , but I went a bit Mary Whitehouse and found it a bit too gratuitously violent to be comfortable with the only time I've seen it.

    A quick derail and then I'll get back on track 91-93 in and around Liskeard, then, er, Bridgewater, Taunton, Wellington, Bramshill, various around Reading, Swindon, Basingstoke.... Too many festies, places and too many compromised brain cells to remember exactly, TBH. About six years of crustyness in all, I think This is about the only Festy I try and get to these days: Strawberry Fair, Cambridge

    Oh god, Tommer, that brings back some, admittedly vague, memories!!! I scanned through the link and can recognise some of the vehicles from my Travelling days down in the West Country :lol:

    I grew out of going to festies at about the same time that you could no longer jump the fence at Glastonbury. These days seeing Blondie at Kew in a few months time is about as rok n' roll as I get and I leave the weekends of going unwashed a miss
  11. A few more pics of that ash I said about earlier. It's showing a really interesting bit of natural grafting and inclusion.
  12. Be very careful saying things like that as you may wake up to empty book shelves one morning
  13. That's a great idea Ham Good luck with your latest venture and I think it will be very popular. How about asking for a small donation to an AT charity for each lend? Just an idea, like. Can I put in requests for what books I'd like to borrow in the future ? I started a book club at one of the LAs I was with and it was very popular, but the titles were generally low cost fiction and people didn't mind passing them on. They certainly weren't covetous reference books!
  14. I'm a consumate City girl. I tried that thar country thing once, but I went fruit loops with the isolation and had to get back to the land of 24 hour M&S's.
  15. Naughty
  16. Hahaha That's got to be a reply from a very single and very bitter man with slightly too much of an engine obsession!
  17. No, it's not natural at all. But neither is our presence in the landscape in such huge (and unsustainable?) numbers. We have destoyed so much of our natural habitat, that a helping hand to preserve the little we have left if not only justified, but a moral obligaton. IMO
  18. For a small fee, I'm more than willing to sit in front of the TV all eve' and give you my personal recommendations
  19. Ecology isn't my feild, but as I understand it, heath and moorland is a very rare habitat in this country and to maintain the areas we do have, we have to intervene to stop the natural regen' that would ultimately return it to woodland without the large native browsers that used to exist. While I certainly don't agree with the trapping of predator species, moorland provides excellent habitat for a multitude of native, and often uncommon, species of invertebrates, reptiles, plants and so on. If the only way we can keep such habitat is by the rearing and hunting of game birds, then that has to be a good thing, surely? It's got to be better than another golf course or housing estate.
