Today I acquired...........

I've seen quite a few large Carver clamps (36" and larger)go in the skip at work because they were missing a part, dozy sods can't be bothered to pick up the phone and order the necessary spare parts to be able to sell them. The miserable gits won't let us have them but would rather lose money but I'm sure the scrappies sort through our skip for the goodies within.

That's all down to the b**dly awful liability/claim culture - image of you were to cut/injure yourself while using one of them - instant claim and 'kerching'. The world's gone to Hell in a handcart, sheer lunacy!!

Ive been to the Bushmills distillery in Ireland. They also distill Midleton whiskey. My last name is Middleton, so was looking forward to buying a bottle and a jacket so something.... so I mentioned to one of the staff that my name was spletwith 2 ‘d’s, to be told the ‘yes some peOple, don't spell it correctly’

Mr pe Ople

This, for free. Interior designer wanted the rusted bench it was attached to and dumped the vice. I asked what the plan was for it and they said it’s going to the tip, it’s yours if you want it. Not that I neeeeeed another vice...

At last a man with taste , it makes people mellow happy and humerous instead of fractious and pinched/ punched faced .

For some reason even a hafen of the Scotch stuff gives me gut rot for days on end .
I suppose it is the cheapness of th Scotch only being distilled twice that is the cause of the problem, whereas the Bushmills triple distilled single malt 30 yr old goes down like a sweet alcohol free kiddies malt beer. Till it catches up with you 1/5 of the way down the bottle

I'm not a big whiskey drinker but I always preferred Bushmills over Scotch. Then at a work xmas do a few friends & I demolished a bottle of Black Bush then started on ordinary Bush, then it all got a bit foggy. Next day I had the worst hangover ever & ever since I cannot manage more than one before I start to feel sick!

My BIL is a member of an online whiskey tasting group & gets to try some nice & some horrible brews. He was telling me about a limited batch of 100 year old Bushmills that has just gone on sale for £25,000 per bottle!!

He has a couple of bottles of Japanese whisky that are nicer than both Scotch or Irish in my opinion but his favourite is Old Putney, a Scotch! Traitor!

Penderyn Distillery. Just over the hill from me and a half a stone's throw outside our present pandemic lockdown area.

Aren't you allowed to go out for 'essential' shopping? Not that I'd encourage you or anyone else to break the restrictions, of course.

He's got a valid excuse if he gets pulled for alcohol trips during lockdown. "Locked down with a wife, whilst sober. Are you mad?".

A cover for my welder lovingly made out of an old curtain by the OH. Should keep it nice and clean between uses. Next up.. a welding trolley so my tool box can go back to having loads of rubbish put on top of it.
