Let's take this to it's logical conclusion. What do you think there would be on the front of the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology?

I'd rather you didn't!

Evening all

I'll get the wellys in, then off to catch up on the threads

Tilt - have just got round to watching Fred at Abbeydale. Actually I thought the whole Sheffield piece was excellent (well, I am biased). Is it just me, but I felt the Abbeydale part was lovely but somehow sad. The place seemed so quiet and deserted.And it reminded me that I need to come up to the city of my birth.Have been so preoccupied with the ailing folk in South Devon that I haven't been able to get to the Tykes' contingent! Better do it before it's visiting for funerals... But what a tilthammer!

Wellies all round.

Cheers for the welly. 'nish

I also watched the 'Dibnah does Abbeydale' programme the other day. Typical weather, all the way up Wincobank to see the top of the cloudcover

Tilt, I want a go at the hand-casting! We used to do that on afters when I worked at Laycocks. (I can bring my own gloves and visor )

Looks like the Coast is clear. Dungeon is in darkness so Patzer must be gone.

Everning all. Late night wellys on the bar. Also some Cream Cake and Apple Tart with Custard.

Good to see some of the regulars again. I've missed you guys.

It's not just you. I feel the same. I go down there as often as I can. The FD session was filmed on a Friday, when it is closed to the public, (also closed during the winter months).

Didnt half look like you with the crucible steel
Have a welly with me while i thread hop :0

You should talk to the folks at Kelham Island.

I seem to remember hand casting from a crucible from an induction furnace as the "other end" of a two handed pour, when I was nobbut a lad. That was enough for me. I wouldn't fancy trying to lift one single handed.

Thanks for that - and the welly.

Actually I'm slightly rounder than he is.

I've always loved the way the peg in the water wheels shaft operates the tilthammer and putting another peg in speeds up the strike rate (Out of Town, 70's prog)

Thanks for the map of Salisbury, humus

Let me get you a welly

Tilt, that's exactly what we did. But our little ladles were put in a ground level gas furnace and fed with small pieces of scrap steel until we had a ladle full of molten steel. It took two of us to lift the ladle out of the furnace with tongues and to cast the steel into a sandbox mould. Casting aluminium was more difficult, in my opinion, because the lower melting temp. made it harder to control.

How did that get in here.
I thought the only medical periodicals allowed in here are Ye Modderne Barber's Almanac, Goodwyffe Johnson's Seasonal Guide to Herbals and What Physick Monthly.

Tilt, you forgot that most important tome, Ye Whitches Herbe Monthlie , with its special supplement,Herbe of ye seasone...

Breakfast this morning will be scrambled ostrich eggs, kedgeree, kidneys turbego, porridge, croissants, Klatchian coffee, tea, and fruit juices...

'morning all...

Is that the one with 13 issues in a year? Or am I thinking of Whatte Whitche?

Any bacon butties available?

"Whatte Whitche"? Isn't that the one that has the Whitche of ye Monthe etchings feature? Or is that 'itchings'?

One bacon buttie coming up!!!

Jim

P.S. My e-mail addy may well be changing again soon...I'll keep you informed...

Evening wellys on the bar for all. I wonder if there's any of that cake left?

<Switches on the steam powered radio to Virgin Radio whilst drinking his welly and reads the newspapers>

A slice of quiche flan sounds nice Henge, with a welly to swill it down with of course, thanks.

I need something to give me a boost...I've just got a job interview for a job I know I won't get (someone is already seconded to it) but I still need to give it a 100% so it will look good on my record incase another postion comes up soon. I've been asked to go for it by my boss so don't want to let him down and I can see all the positive sides for applying..just seems a lot of stress for something I don't have much chance of getting! (yes I know I should be more positive as I might knock their socks off and get the job over the one who is doing it now)

So a nice big welly is in order at the moment...specially as i've just read what i've got to do a presentation on...a toughie to say the least!

Had a few job applications like that in the past so here's a top up of some of your particular stress buster

Sniffy...good luck...the worst they can say is 'no'...and the other person might just turn the position down...anything's possible.

Think positive, girl...full speed ahead, and damn the torpedoes!!!

If your bored then try this, there are thirteen items in the room.

If you get stuck then I will try to remember to give clues but you folks shouldnt need any help.

All you have to do is get out of the room.

I have 10 so far...I'm a little stuck now! No clues yet...I'll wait till I start pulling my hair out before I ask...then maybe a little clue.
