nice one red.
by the way, do you own a TV?
I do - two in fact - although a lot of the time I like the radio more. I think I am probably "hyper active" (or whatever the politically correct term is now). This afternoon I was bored so I knocked up 12lbs of orange and brandy marmalade
I'll end up giving most of it away most likely as "goodwill" items. Suprising though what a few bottles of pickles, jam or homebrew get you. I once got lifetime shooting rights on 1,000 acres for two jars of pickled onions

Nice lamp Red, now, I now have to get you into brass paraffin stoves, you will in end love them, and I bet you will polish them
I have to say I love that lamp Rik - its comforting hissing away - and it looks as cool as hell too - thanks for all the help!
I'll resist the stoves...for a while......must not buy more stuff..........

The bay of E - unused and a very fair price. Then found out (from Rik) where to get the top reflector, spare mantles and service kit. The top reflector comes off so it becomes more "hurricane lamp" in shape or goes on as a table lamp.
I love it so much I'm thinking of sourcing one or two more. Might even do the legwork and sell some on as "finsihed items" now I know how to do it, which parts to get etc.
I wish someone had done that when I bought it all - would have made life a lot easier buying the complete outfit

Aaaah, another comfortable setting.
And another good book. I've had the original version for years. I wonder how different the "New" version is?
Interesting shooter. It has that Webley look, but the lack of trigger guard is perplexing me. Folding trigger? And the "side hammer"?
Oh, the ... toys ... we play with.

There`s a Vapalux in "project" condition going on ebay if anyone`s up for the challenge. Auction finishes at about 7:30 tonight though.

if only i ha seen it earlier and had the coin i would have but am now skint after buy a car and passing driving test
Funny enough its lit at the moment
Have a "variation on the theme"
Shewie beat me to it - and now that is a classic British winter scene of comfort and joy! Don't mind if I do take the wingback Red and whilst I've brought along the Hennessy XO - seeing as you've already opened the 12 year old - it would be churlish of me not to discuss it's merits with you
well yer it is because it means your more or less always skint but when your a kid you always have money (foraged off mum and dad)
Indeed - I have topped the glass up too!
Is that better?

That picture makes me want to sit down and read a good book.
Particularly now as there's tons of snow outside.
Red, is that top reflector also brass or is it chrome?
The stag handle on that folder looks spectacular.
