You are a good lass Toots, but I sometimes wonder about your sense of humour. To be honest, I have to wonder if you would even laugh at setting Pappy's trousers on fire.

Falls off the chair laughing at the very thought

I have a very well developed sense of humour Mr Borchester, as you well know. Just because someone has weird ideas and a strange notion of how society should and could work doesn't give the rest of us carte banche to gang up and kick them where it hurts. Behave yourself!! :fpigs: :crzy :kikass: :dncg:

Sorry I don't agree. It's not funny when it's so obviously unkind. Even far right wingers are allowed feelings. :shock:

Have you considered that she may be talking to you as if you are a person?

You clearly do not enjoy your wife's company. Does she enjoy yours?

I have a quiet admiration for your wife. I could never talk to a man like he was a woman. She must trust you amazingly. What passes between us is usually sacrosanct and the loyalty of a trusted woman friend is very special. I genuinly hope that you find a way of getting through without stress. There might come a day when she is no longer there, value her while you can. :hattip

No, I don't mean the interesting stuff, just the rubbish

She's not a golf widow, as she spends as much time in the gym and with her friends as I do playing golf. I have always believed a good marriage is based on the time you spend apart. As it happens we have been going walking together, and I hate it. She talks to me as if I am a woman, and I can't get my head around it. I need male company, and I need it NOW

Of course she doesnt nalaar.

When this forum first opened , wiggles wife sent private messages to all the original forum members thanking them for keeping wiggles out of her hair.

We are providing a much needed service for the poor long suffering woman.

In a situation like this instead of looking for differences and a spot in the patio perhaps you would be better occupied in putting your good lady first for a change. Perhaps she is a golf widow who has had to find her own life as you obviously made your own. Bickering always takes two. Presumably you married for some reason other than having a housekeeper/cook/bottle washer on tap, so perhaps a little bit of effort on your part might open up a whole new world. You could offer to walk together if she'll have you. On the other hand if that's impossible, now is the time to begin a new hobby in preparation for when you start to become a nuisance slow player on the courses and your handicap drops substantially so that the 19th hole is the only real attraction. :hattip :crzy

I haven't seen one of those since, well, since Boris banned the car boot sales.

How were they sharpened? That was easy enough and necessary with the old high carbon steel drill bits, but the augers in the photo have screw ends. Were there specialised dies?

My two great uncles on returning to britain after ww2 returned to their chosen jobs, one a bricklayer and plasterer, the other a carpenter for Cardiffs DLO and with much of Britain bombed, no one in such trades was ever idle for long.

Uncle Tom had a selection of those tools looking just like the image plus some more. I've NO idea how they were maintained, I took them from his shed after he died, apart from one when the shaft broke when I stupidly put too much sideways strain on it half way down, they all work as well as the day I picked them up.

I've never sharpened them but then to be fair I've not used them much unless I was working at height and didnt want the bother of heavy power tools.

I'm sure I saw some when I went to the local hardware warehouse place a week back when sarah needed plumbing tape and other stuff to fix a leaking pipe the housing association decided wasnt a priority in the current state of things.
