No Topic,

OC, you would have to carry something to show your over 18 to use one of those, is your garden that bad.
I suppose this thread is working.

 

[otherclive]

No the garden is in pretty good shape, but a couple of years ago I lost my old Scouts knife with its antler handle which I used a lot in the garden. I think it got picked up with some gardening waste packed off to the recycling. My son must have got a bit weary of my bleating on about it that he came back from a trip to Finland with a really nice hunting knife. He said I could use it when out camping. But I told him that these days they are a bit of a no no unless I could plead reasonable cause. And I told him that it was my old gardening knife that I missed. Hence the hori hori. But I’d better not wander into town with it unless I’m wearing my old gardening boots too!

Thanks for your good wishes. Strange how well-used is the Banko de Granpo

 

[Gabsgrandad]

"Banko de Granpo" Is there another one?

Not from where I sit. Funding flows upwards and downwards, and if there is any left horizontally too

Lager didn't exist, (wouldn't drink it anyway) so it was either Mild or Bitter (or half and half if you'd been in the RAF.

Not me mate, Im allergic to brillcream, and C~~bfat. I used to jump from the perfectly good aircraft they havent got. Talking of bad beers, we had both Shipstones and Kimberley, thankfully no longer around. As a junior, I used to have the Thwaites and Whitbread (aye, two slices) which nowadays I wouldnt sup were it free. I am strictly a real ale guy with a preference for Rubies, and of course my single malts.

Now what I really want to know and have been wanting to ask for years is about the Woosies, or rather the naming of them. Is it Woosie (Wussy) because they are all wine drinking lightweights or Woosie (Woozy) because of beaucoup Vino Collapso?

As for Banko de Granpo, one is too young and the other tends to be uninterested so far in money. Its still the bank of mum and dad in our family. Further to that, the sons-in-law seem to regard my workshop as a tool hire centre, none of which ever seem to get returned or returned working.

 

[camel]

Thingy,
You would have a job to find a Thwiates pub to sup their free ale even in Blackburn, no buggar in Lancashire ever "had owt for nowt" out of that lot,

I would't have thought of much need of Witworth or BA spanners nowadays. hmy:

 

[Thingy]

Would you believe I still have a fair number of Stahlwille and some ex REME King Dick tools. You can keep the unbreakable Snap-On, I have broken too many of them.

And lets not forget BSF and BSP threads.

 

[Hutch]

Can't find the older one. I also have some Tipco brand anti spark fuel spanners.

.....Now what I really want to know and have been wanting to ask for years is about the Woosies, or rather the naming of them. Is it Woosie (Wussy) because they are all wine drinking lightweights or Woosie (Woozy) because of beaucoup Vino Collapso?

There's a brief description of the Woosies Here Thingy.
The name arose not from the Woosie capacity for the consumption of alcoholic beverages, although it has to be said that there are some notable imbibers within the Woosie ranks, but from the more prosaic and somewhat indelicate questions surrounding the usage of the caravan cassette toilet.
To discover more one would need to either become a member of that august body or to attend the forthcoming Woosie gathering in Lincolnshire where pitches are still available.

 

[Thingy]

Well first off, if its all about cassette Khazis, Ill give it a miss. So disappointed its not what I thought. Isnt Prosaic that wine thats become fashionable

Any chance of the Hellfire Club holding a meet :evil:

As for the Zeus charts, they dont seem to have seen much use, mine are of 1975 vintage and are in very poor condition.

I've read that as I was intrigued by the Woosies... but too afraid to ask!

One old boy I knew who was a retired Gas Board fitter and just to male a couple of bob went round connecting gas fires and gas ovens, when he turned up at my place on one occasion he had his bed spanners in a plastic carrier bag.

I would not have let him in unless I knew him personally. At least a canvas tote bag would have been ok,

Please visit us in the Woosie thread and join in. It started as a joke about the terrors of cassette emptying but now is a group of 'vanners having a laugh, and a drink, and some food, and a drink. Come and join in, you know you want to.
Thingy, the meet is in Lincolnshire, not that far from you in Derbyshire. You'd be there in under two hours.

[Anseo]

Love it,I have both of those booklet guides, since the smart phone came along I have never used them, but won't be chucking them out nonetheless .

 

[Thingy]

Talking of Smartphones, I use an app called Convertpad, free version, which is excellent for all sorts of measurements and conversions.

Four year old grandson came out with a corker today, made me howl.

Knock Knock

[Hutch]

But Camel, being retired , was he still able legally able to certify the reconnection of the gas appliances. ?
Thats the difference.

 

[Thingy]

the salt of the earth was Jack went through ww2 in the Royal Navy,

Beginning to sound more and more like Albert Trotter. B)

Ah well, Its been a whole year, but after two cancelled holidays, one for the birth of grandson no2, and once because of the spring weather this year, we're off. Full month in the South West. I suppose i can just about get by on Doombar for that period.

 

[Parksy]

I shall also be supping Doombar next week, we're off to Polmanter Touring Park in St Ives on Sunday morning for a week.

 

[Thingy]

We dont arrive in CW until next Thursday, we are at Exeter Racecourse until then. Enjoy your trip Parksy and dont get too sober. :cheer:

 

[Parksy]

Cheers Thingy, have a good trip yourself and don't drink anything that I wouldn't :lol:
