Mmmmmm, do they do take-away?

John: thanks for the recipe idea. I'll have to give that a go, if the missus will let me anywher near the kitchen. Kitchens, cooking and me are not a happy combination. :)

Hmm.

All quiet on the Western Front.

The Wallet was cornered by the two cats this AM and they've attacked it. Bits of leather and fur flew everywhere for about an hour. Jim-Jim leapt on it from a great height, passing to Rosie for an atom spash (being nearly 11 pounds in weight, it does what it says on the tin!) passing to back to Jim-Jim for punching then to Rosie for rabbit kicks using back feet.....

You get the message.

After much kerfuffle the Wallet is now hiding in my inside pocket, whimpering. I may be able to spend some money! :shock:

Mrs BB says: That'll be a first!!!
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

It looks a bit pricey though. I assume they mean the charge is £25 + the standard adult fare?

I think a few wallets might begin to have difficulty with that one.

Hi Strang Steel

Price included said Fish 'n' Chips and train fare!!

Come on BB

Your wife must be a Saint to have to cope with you and the wallet. Take her out and you pay!! Such a woman deserves to be pampered.

If you don't want to treat her well, send her down here!!!

If the wife (Mrs BB) did go, she would take the said wallet, and pamper herself, there's some nice shops in Southampton :wink:

Ay up!

I couln't send the Wallet to Oz.

They've got laws prohibiting the import of dangerous wildlife. Presumably they have enough.

You need to be careful up the high Dales up above Settle. There are feral Yorkshire Wallets up there :shock: - the main reason why we don't have wolves in Yorkshire! :lol:

Anyway, Mrs BB WILL have a treat on Tuesday. And it won't be cheapo. I'm not saying what as yet but I know what it is just not where to get it yet.....

If you pack it well in a stainless steel mesh bag, then place that in a padded bag, and post it over, I'll free the poor wee wallet into the wilds of the outback, where it can roam free :P (as long as it keeps away from the 'roo shooters')

Ay up!

I've got this one right. I gave Mrs BB a tin of Turkish delight this AM - it lasted 15 mins. Since then she has been on the bed, clutching her stomach and groaning.

Still, she enjoyed the TD!

And the Wallet is still frightened of our two cats. :shock:

Something's gone right today! :mrgreen:

Obviously a case of poisoning by the tin tainting the turkish delight, Said tin was probably made from the scrapped remains of an 8F converted to oil firing by the Turks.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.
