    Vengeance Most Fowl

    Just finished watching the latest Wallace and Gromit. Outstanding, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into that movie. I think Truly would have appreciated the name of the narrowboat belonging to the soon-to-be-retired Chief Inspector Mackintosh.

    Pippa , Jemima, Alisdair [dont dare say Alistair] and Sebastian

    This is more common than people would think. At public events or standing in queues. I've heard it called "humblebragging" but there's not much humble to it. =========================================== I have "asked" about if this and offer the following response as to why this is occurs. Take...

    Midsummer Wine Day 2025

    I would like to have gone as well. Been modeling some airfares and unfortunately high season makes it cost prohibitive. Still kicking myself for missing out on 50th.

    Any of the member use Temu

    I have not, but have been tempted to try their endmills (for CNC woodworking) which are insanely cheap to the point they're sold in sets for half the price of individual. Disclaimer: These examples are not apples to apples in terms of quality. The individual example is from the source I commonly...

    Lost Time

    Commuting to and from work. At one point consumed as much as three hours out of my day. Never get that time back.

    Holier than Compo's trousers?

    Thanks for sharing. Those actors were really all over the Summer Wine vineyard!

    Mushy Peas

    I'll see if I can find these. The only other options I saw were some that were still dry in small packets you would cook at home. There are multiple sections of the store, sectioned by country so I'll look around next time I'm up there.

    Mushy Peas

    According to Granville, Genghis Khan never left home without his Manky Beans. Unfortunately Granville ended up with overstock and was forced to take drastic measures to move them.

    Mushy Peas

    Picked this up at an international grocery store in Cincinnati. I look forward to sampling to discover what the lore (or fuss : ) is all about.

    I am learning much about what I don't know

    I am learning much about what I don't know

    https://britizen.uk/practice/life-in-the-uk-test I got a lowly 58% on the first test. It's nice that there are explanations of the ones I got wrong. I think perusing this forum (and Wikipedia ITN nominations) over the years helped with understanding more about UK culture and history. Perhaps...

    Blamire

    Not sure how long it would have lasted. Clegg and Compo definitely needed someone less uptight. The series would have lasted for awhile but not as long as it did. I think for all the decrying of new and departing characters it was the one thing that kept the series fresh.
