Lady Slopes decided that today, despite being sunny and warm, was a day for watching telly.
This didn't make me a happy bunny so i've been pottering about, cleaning, getting rid of....things....and finally got fed up of doing all the donkey work and resorted to watching perhaps the most influential Manga film of all time, Akira.
I'm surprised they have never made a live action version, they did with Space Battleship Yamamoto and also Ghost in the Shell
but so far nothing with Akira, although this is probably a good thing.
My dad quite likes the Manga stuff, I've seen a few bits when I've been visiting him!!This didn't make me a happy bunny so i've been pottering about, cleaning, getting rid of....things....and finally got fed up of doing all the donkey work and resorted to watching perhaps the most influential Manga film of all time, Akira.

Oh don't worry I've managed to beat train quite a lot of the violence, foul language and abusive behaviour out of her after 27 years, she does of course resort to breeding occasionally, I find it best to hide when that happens!!!!!
Oh hang on a minute Mr Brizzle, until you've been faced with an angry, screaming, shouting, violent, sweary Gosport dweller, pissed off because she can't find her car keys, you ain't seen nothing!!!!!

What's stopping you? Brass is a great material to work with, incredibly stable while being machined, soft enough to be easily machined the only issue is it tarnishes easily!!!
Extreme laziness, there's also the barrier to entry of a 24 karat gold electroplating kit, to address the tarnishing issue Edited by Pastie Bloater on Monday 31st May 08:26
That's a whole lotta food PB!!! With reference to the brass tarnishing, rather than the expense of gold plating it, why not varnish it? Much cheaper, keeps the lovely brass on show and still protects it?
Morning chaps
Thanks for mopping up and doing the washing up 550man, just wish I'd been up in time to see you in your naughty maids outfit!!!
White Stiletto old chap, that is a sterling idea and one we plan to put into practice ourselves!!!
All Hail, his Dickyness has decreed that summer is here and will be a scorcher!!!!

Ah, I'm back with the beer supplies, and found I hadn't clicked on the 'Submit' key to enter my previous post. Oh well, you'll have to imagine that there were 45 minutes of elapsed time between the two posts.
A bit of research on Tinternet has revealed that the farmhouse where I was born was once owned by HRH Prince Chula Chakrabongse of Siam.
He came to the UK for his education at Harrow, and liked England so much, he stayed here, married an English woman and got involved with running The White Mouse Racing team.
In 1927, his cousin Prince Birabongse Bhanudej, aka "B. Bira" came to England and started driving for the team.
In 1936, they purchased an ERA, and the rest is history, very successful in most of the races they entered. 'Prince Bira' became champion.
Another thing I learned today, was that at the time I was born in that farmhouse, then then owner of that farm plus a few other farms and some other dwellings and a substantial amount of land, was a certain Henry Julian Lee.
Our family had a benefactor, a lovely lady from the Lee family, who we knew as Auntie Joan.
I'm not sure if she was the wife of HJ Lee, or his daughter-in-law, but I do know that she had an illicit affair with my eldest uncle, and she had a daughter by him. She previously had twins, a boy and a girl, by her husband, Mr Lee ( Senior or Junior, I'm not sure which).
A divorce ensued, and Auntie Joan was allocated a small farm on the outskirts of the family estate, where she raised her three children, and fostered several more, as well as breeding livestock and chickens.
She often took us kids out for trips, all crammed in her big old Volvo Estate, and she never forgot our birthdays, giving us nice presents, and each of our family households received a large tin of biscuits each Christmas.
I found out about the clandestine affair between Auntie Joan and my Uncle at a family funeral a few years ago, which explained the close likeness between him and their daughter, my actual real cousin!
Apparently my uncle continued the relationship even after marrying another woman and had a further four children with his wife. He loved them all dearly.
Ah, rural life, eh?
"Oh woe is me! Shame and scandal in the family..." 
"We did it in the stables."
It's a wonder they didn't frighten the horses.

9.614 on the old Triv-o-meter there pequod, top drawer stuff!!! 
In Turkish, there two letter 'i' s, one with a tittle is a soft 'ee' sound, as in "his" or "cheese", whilst the other, without a tittle is a harder 'uh' sound, as in "chum".
i = eee
? = uh
What does that score on the Triv-O-Meter?
I must say the new and improved rebound overload return spring mechanism is working a treat, does make a hell of a racket though and shakes the small barn something rotten!!!!
