[Stanleysteamer]

Flip. I've just looked at your gable end blocks and realised they isn't cut as fancy as I thort they were from the previous pic.

Its all sorted afore he went home he left at 8pm been here since 8am
Inside will be timber framed insulated & covered up so will look pretty, as long as its strong & wont fall down
I'll be happy.

This was in the early 60s we left Hull in 63. Centre partings didn't come along until the 70s.
And yes, I admit I had one when I had hair for a long time, even started teaching with it. But back then, like moustaches, loads of blokes had them!

Woz you a catlick once then?

(You don't have to answer!!)

(And yes, I get it about the centre parting!!!)

Yer I was yin o them so I get all the jokes. Haha

 

[kevstar]

Ah yes Kev is known for being twee, he should get that fixed asap.

Can't let the tourists down with shoddy work.

Me is well shocked!
I thort you was puttin all those blocks up and I was well impressed. So who is this "he" guy? Not wing-nut I take it!!

Hey "I can beat you at dominoes"!!!! Then he passes the plate around to collect all the bets!!

 

[Stanleysteamer]

If you want to get a real handle on/good laugh over caltlickism, it is worth reading "Le rouge et le noir" by Stendhal!
Well maybe not.

Sorry. Went a bit off there. It isn't as funny as Father Ted!! But it is also rather naughty for a novel written in 1830 France.

 

[Stanleysteamer]

I think I'd better get off to kip before I go even more bizarre over French literature and catholicism.
Sleep well peeps!

I got told off for doing too much so im getting my mate to finish it, working all day then coming home for lunch
loading out the block, cutting the ones for the buttresses then laying block not getting in until its dark.
Getting dinner....big led light on & back out so I got told off. My mate is certainly not wingnut.
Works for himself he's fully booked for 2 years but came round to help me out. He is much faster than me I
got one course up one side he had 2 but this is his trade.
Also he is 6'4 so has a longer reach (damm) lol I dont know any roofers so I'll be doing that myself.
Dont care if I get my ears chewed of. I'll use the machine to lift up the slate n take my time.

Morning folks

 

[Turktowner]

Its Nessy

Wee cockle..

 

[Turktowner]

WTF happened? We thought you was going to live the life of the "well-earned-rest" fellow with lots of time for your hobbies and such.

I dint say that, did I? Even so, bills has to be paid and doozil bought.
I only worked 26 hours last week though, so am content.

 

[Turktowner]

T cut wont fix the hole in the hull

That must've been summink, you see what happens when cables and chains snaps.. Was it a bit sketchy..?

 

[Turktowner]

Mornin all.

Funny dream last night, came home to my bungalow in the country (which i don't) to find my Dad had removed the engine and gearbox from me Mighty Tratter to get it 'fixed'. Snot broked, Dad lives two hundred miles away and knows nothing of Tratters, bizarre.

The chassis looked really good though so am happy.

Bit of runnin around today, needs some doozil. Have a good one peeps.

We never met him. We had various parish priests at all the churches we went to. The school had its own chapel attached and the priest was a brill bloke. He used to come to our house, drink whisky and smoke his pipe with my parents when we were in bed. Father Cooper. Real honest genuine bloke.
Sadly went a bit off his head, preaching to his elderly female congregation about the horrors of abortion and such. So got hidden away in some sort of Catholic sanatorium where they looked after him until he passed on. He did my first confession and my first communion. So funny thinking back to all this happening before I was 8 years old.
We moved south and lost the faith.
So I laugh more at Father Ted than W does. She doesn't find it funny at all. I think you have to have been a Catholic to laugh so hard at it!!
And of course Dave Allen!!

Are village vicar baptized me confirmed me and married me and W and baptized are daughter I might add not in one day
