The De Havilland Queen Bee made a fair row.

Bear with me on that one, there’s a lot of variety in there.

Attached some photos of a few stacks mid-way through sorting a while back though.

I see...


That last one


Tate Modern


The rest, glue old egg box cartons to them and stick them on the walls

You will be amazed at the dramatic increase in quality of any audio or voice in your office

How have I only just noticed the abandoned house next to the petrol station opposite McDonald’s at the top of Foregate Street?

I've just done a few little jobs for an old dear and she's mentioned an issue with a door, which can swing into the back of the door in an adjoining wall - it has already knocked a little flake of paint off where the handle has impacted it. The other side of the damaged door is a small bureau. so I have shown her the sliding stop that supports the drop-down flap and suggested that we get something similar, but rather more substantial, for the errant door, which will prevent it swinging far enough to hit the other door.

Luckily, she is not an internet person, so I have come home before I Googled "door restraint" - I suspect that she may not have the use for some of the equipment that Google has suggested might be suitable...

Ahh, yes that’s probably it. I only recently started driving with my eyes open. It’s much easier
Makes roundabouts much more fun if you close you eyes & scream 'wheeeeeeeee'!

I pass it everyday, I believe the house went to auction after the owners died & other relatives were squabbling over who should get it, it was then declared unsafe to live in, then had squatters & a couple of fires started in it. No idea whats happening with it now, but its been empty for at least a year or more...

Was sold, then sold on again

That whole area will be the the HS2.5 shunting yard eventually

I’ve just had another lovely night volunteering at The Gatehouse.

Tonight was “Our House” a play set to the music of Madness and performed by the very talented Stafford Gatehouse Summer Theatre.

Such a talented cast, fantastic live band, slick choreography, top night out.

Well, I have finally got around to getting some of my shit together.

I just have to post it off to Rugby now. At least the return envelope is self-sealing, I wasn't looking forward to licking it.

It is a biennial competition, like a cross between Twister and Bingo, but with some harsh forfeits for any false moves.

I didn't win anything last time and I find it rather unlikely that I would be pumping 'occult blood' around my veins.
The post has just arrived.

Yet again, I have failed to make it to the second round.


Phew!

I've just been charged an extra 5p for having my Starbucks coffee in a takeaway plastic cup!!!

And you don't even get a refund if you take the cup back.

I was told it was to help the environment so I suggested they make their cups out of recyclable materials as I'm sure my 5p will be going into Starbucks pockets and nowhere else.

I shan't be using this chain ever again.

Just heard a few absolutely massive claps of thunder which shook the house. Looked out as I thought a plane was crashing at first! (Well, at least I'm hoping it was thunder..)
