I was actually tucking into a couple of HOTDOGS... SMOTHERED in AMERICAN mustard... HO HO!! Best wishes Teddy Good choice. Coleman's English Mustard is a bit harsh for hot dog duty. Really clears the old sinuses tho, which I bet is one of the main reasons the English use it, what with the often lou...

Thank you for that contribution Jim... There ya go Mr. Natch!! .... argument over.. HO HO!!! Teddy I was hoping to generate a little heat :twisted: I actually agree with you and jim. I lived in England some years ago, and most restaurants, even some of the best, were rather mediacre. Lots of boiled...

Are we talking lead balls here?

Or maybe mini-balls, as some people call Capt. Minie's invention.

Great topic :!: This is most strange. Some people with whom I share my hobby (obsession) may show some interest, but not overly so. In my case it has been over 40 years since I bought my first switch in Italy as a kid. After it was stolen, I lost interest until I had a reawakening. Why so long? I du...

Or you could have one of those old Schrade 740's with two spring blades, one for regular work and a smaller penknife blade. With those you also got two sets of buttons and safeties.

That would be dual function.

Also dual ways for something to go wrong

Or Mexican sushi.

No wait, they actually do have something like that. Raw fish "cooked" in lemon juice.

How about this oxymoron: Gourmet British food Sausage and mash with 2 veg. Yum yum.

It's not a desk job, it's an adventure. I am dispatched by the consulting firm to places far and wide in order to inspect, witness, and document destructive testing performed on concrete tile roofs AS required for product, installer, or warrantee defect litigation suits. Wally J. Corpse Now I've he...

Could also be due to the copious quantities of sake and Suntory that are ritualistically consumed as a part of the repast. I was amazed when this banker I knew at the Sanwa Bank gave me a bottle of Suntory. The old joke was that the Japanese copied everything. Damned if they didn't copy the Scotch W...

Not sure it's just a holiday issue. I have tried to contact AKC of and on for the best part of a year. Only one response, and when I replied to that, got not response ever again :!: Others have had this experience as well. They apparently just can't be bothered talking to anyone other than distribut...

I don't know about you all, but I have been getting a bunch of spams promoting various schemes to make big $$ on ebay. A lot of these seem to eminate from India. Guess our crust flipping friend has decided to join the parade and recoup something out of his old business. Myself, I would want a teflon...

..,most picklocks will set you back $150+ for new ones and waaaay more for the old vintage ones! Rich, Mr Bigg has warned you--- Flee now lest your every spare coin be diverted to this insidious, acquisitive endeavour. :!: :twisted: Of course there's always something real safe, like trading cards. ...

Greetings, Mr. Natcherly- The roof consultant- expert technical witness gig I've got going now... Does this mean you have taken a desk job? Are we talking vertigo here as the justification for such a radical change in lifestyle? Or is it the molten tar fumes? Do you not miss the eldritch cries of y...

Thanks Bill,

Maybe I'll just sell it as-is and let someone else worry about the outcome.

No problems at all with mechanics. Fires fine and locks up OK. Slight wiggle, but not much at all.

What locking mechanism problem should I be looking for?

I somehow got this Schrade some years ago, probably was in a neglected tool kit I bought at a yard sale. I have been told that it was a very common item. That plus the fact it is in less than pristine condition and has been sharpened, it was not worth repairing the jigged bone scale or restoring in ...
