Dun Laoghaire in my case. Thence to Belfast, and the RBAI. It's thanks to Inst that I am who I am today. A complete nonentity. :)

Woohoo! Steliz is going to have a field day with you! :D

Knowing vet's, everybody....

Jeez... Well, yes! I wouldn't just say "Amn't", would I?! Let me re-word my post, just for you... Courtesy of my Irish upbringing, I tend to still use "I amn't" in conversation (as opposed to "I'm not", in case you're confused) OK now? :rolleyes:

Talking of cats, did you know from June next year, your furry friend has to be microchipped? No, neither did I. I happened to spot a poster in the vet's last night... Couldn't help think about some of the bruisers we've had over the years - one in particular would've left your hand in tatters...

Courtesy of my Irish upbringing, I tend to still use "amn't" in conversation (as opposed to "I'm not", in case you're confused) It seems to amuse people....but why? Can't, won't, aren't, etc., are used all the time, so why not amn't?!

See post #1224, Stu..... Where've you been?! :giggle:

That was a bit of a surprise... Our local pub is advertising three courses of badger for £18. Starter, main and badger sorbet. No choice, mind. It's a set menu.

Comfy chair, grabs popcorn, and waits.....5... 4... 3... 2 .....

I decided to ring the BBC Help Line for drugs advice. The recorded message told me to press the hash key.

Does that stop it being on for 3 hours a week? A bit like turning your windscreen wipers on to stop it raining? At least the Beeb should stagger the broadcasts rather than night after night....

"Look, you lot! My ar5e is on the line, and the last thing I want is a c**k up!" Deafening laughter met this comment, which somewhat deflated his point....

Does any cookery programme warrant 3 hours a week on BBC1? This bloody Masterchef thing seems to last forever.

I'm really bloody annoyed! Came home the other day to find my house had been broken into! The only thing taken was my pack of anti-depressant tablets from the bathroom cabinet. Well, I hope it makes him bloody happy!

Hadn't thought of Is this a bit like the sock drawer in a darkened room?! 6 pairs of socks, but just chucked in separately....how many socks out, one at a time, in the dark, to guarantee that you have a matched pair? I always hated those questions at school! Back to your answer...perhaps I...

...to choose the dog's name. All equally relevant, catchy, able to be "emphasised" when needed. Decided best of 3... You're ahead of me, aren't you?! Each name drawn once. Discussion followed : the odds of that happening, please?!

A large alsation wanders into the Job Centre, trots up to one of the assistant's desks, and promptly sits down. "Well, hello boy! And what are you doing here?!" laughs the assistant. "I'm actually looking for a job, miss, and I hear this is the place to help me...." The assistant rocks back in...

Snap, Eric L - I've just done the same! I always used the knife/window method, but recently bought a small 2nd-hand scroll/fretsaw to have a go at using the multiple-veneer pad method. Then it was a case of which size blades to use! A veritable minefield.... I've got a fair selection now, but...

Long time since the original question, but thought I'd chuck my two pennorth in... My first marquetry press was just two rectangles of thickish ply, with a couple of straight bearers screwed underneath and another two placed across the top. I planed the top pair from the middle outwards, so when...

....or "Tarquin", depending....
