I eat OXO cubes for a living... Not dead yet!

Servant to two German Shepherd Dogs. Enjoys travel, history (WW2, WW1, medieval, Scandinavian historical fiction, such as the Shardlake series) and food. Well, cooking it, at least.

And those vague "do you trust running macros in this document" messages.

That's the entrance to our secret nuclear bunker.

Ah, Visual Basic macros. All good here, nothing to see. Except at least VBA macros could be just plain wrong but they didn't make shit up.

I put it there to get the shot and immediately put it back, LOL.

Thanks for explaining the mystery - quite the process. Of note, I attended the Duke of York Royal Military School starting in 1979 and we used to love exploring the old trenches and war leftovers, including wide sections filled with rusty old barbed wire. A wonder none of us got lockjaw.

Saw this, thought of you.

Of course, you might just settle for a 4oz "slice"

Sure... My local "nice" food emporium has similar....

The bench looks happy, although it could use some varnish...

I must have missed the exploding cassette option :)

Hope you had a beer at the end of this...

Although he'll need to find a suitable venue to announce - perhaps Four Seasons Landscaping is available again.

Perfect. I will dial in although I have a work call that might overlap slightly.

Wish I could (I live in the US) - can I send you 5 pounds, no shillings, no pence another way? Will it be available online at a later date?

Bring back the crusades!

No, because his identity relies on Barak being "not born here"... Can't make him the boogeyman and simultaneously deny his existence, LOL. Or given the way the Orange King works, perhaps that duality is real.

Great music and video. Of course I listen to music on headphones most of the time, but throw on my decent cans and put the sound through the receiver, a good experience.
