Heard on the radio this morning: I was going to tell you a joke about time travel...but you didn't like it.

I've ordered a new garden gate. They are unable to tell me when it will be delivered. Apparently it hinges on the post.

Chinese 'red' balloons...

Getting older is not for wimps. I was born in 1945 and Germany surrendered (I'm just saying). Lotsa medical problems, lotsa physical problems, no mental problems (but how would I know...:-). Playing bridge I notice that many of the other players seem to be very old...then I realise that they are...

Nothing better than observations from someone who has actually used the stuff. Thank you.

Snake oil huh?...if you look at the label on an Odie's Oil jar and compare it to the label on a jar of Clark Stanley's Snake Oil Liniment (Wikiquote under Snake Oil)...it makes one think...:-)

Jarno...I did watch that video and several others too. Over the years I have used different 'concoctions ' (both home made and store bought) for finishing. I had never heard of Odie's Oil until only a few days ago, so for me this was a 'brand new' product. Jury is still out though...

I did say the price is eye watering...however, I'm still curious as to whether or not anyone has used it? (even a teaspoon full).

I recently stumbled over a youtube video about Odie's Oil (I know...I do stumble over a lot of things these days...must start to take more water with it). Any road up, I looked up the Odie site and noted the eye watering price of their oil. Has anyone used it? Is it worth the money? What is the...

I do enjoy some sports...but I always love it when England come out top in any international sport whatever it may be. I take a pride in my country and am not ashamed to say so. I am quite old though and hold 'unfashionable' views...but let's not go there... Well done you Lionesses...blooming...

I have recently acquired some wooden moulding planes. All seem to be in reasonable condition, but they are pretty grotty as regards the dirt and grime they seem to be embedded with. I believe that a good cleaner and conditioner for the wood would be an equal parts mix of: Boiled Linseed Oil...

Ah...I reckon that those socks are so expensive that it would take at least 3 Kashmir goats to make them...providing they can knit of course :)

I use an MFT top on a couple of trestles and I also have a couple of BD items (which I like). I find this item to be very interesting and I shall sit on the fence (not a BD one) to watch developments. Who knows...this could develop into a Christmas present...(make a change from socks).

Getting old is certainly not for wimps.
