No no no! You want to start racial rioting for publishing that sort of thing? Anyway, David would probably have got arrested if he'd tried taking photos. How would you feel if your wife was breast feeding in a public place and some stranger came up and started taking photos?

Well, the way I read it is David was pondering because here we have a supposed woman of faith where everything has to be covered up o such an extent that it's a serious sin to not be covered and yet here she is with it all hanging out while breastfeeding?? just makes a mockery of the whole argument of why they wear this crap in the first place...lol

I agree with David's pondering, but the dangerous issue was Andy calling for photos!

Probably best to put the whole subject to bed.

On a completely different theme.
I think I have gone off drinking wine.
Not missing beer in the pub either.
I seem to recall I went through a similar phase after my Dad passed away because I used to enjoy being in his company so much and a lot of that time was on the beer, so that goes some way to explaining that episode.
I can only put this one down to enforced absence from the pub. Will easing of regulations pull me back to sanity/normality?
Pete.

I found myself drinking to reduce the pain in my stump before I went to bed. After a while I realised my body was just inventing a lot of the pain in order to get the booze... I'm drinking a lot more tea instead....

All in moderation my friends. Inc tea. I have about 5 to 6 mugs per day never thought much of it until yesterday . The day before my dentist couldn’t save a tooth so it got pulled. She did a wonderful in fact I thought she had given up when in fact she had won the day. Anyway, her instructions were simple; no hot drinks for 24 to 48 hours. So I had water and then switched warmed milk. Great. The next day head coming on. No pain in the jaw though. Head ache wouldn't go even after a snooze. Then I realised my problem was caffeine or rather lack off it. Head ache is typic withdrawal symptom. I quickly made a strong tea. In half an hour I was in the workshop. Job done!

I used to go to our local RBL Club 3 or 4 times a week but after not going out for so long due to the lockdown I got to the point where I wasn't bothered at all about drinking. I've never been one for drinking at home so just got out of the habit.
Now the club is open again I'm only going in a couple of times a week just to see friends. I used to go in to see my Brother but now he's gone there isn't much incentive to go in at all. It doesn't help that all the bar is screened off and you have to sit at a table. I used to stand at the bar and talk to the staff but you can't even do that now.

Lily gets what she calls "A Dangled!" where the tea bag gets a look in and straight back to my mug for the duration. But I did need something stronger on my first visit to China when Lily took me to a Chinese Beach. Talk about FIT!!! Then a wonderful realization that Chinese Girls do not shave or trim!!!!! Or wear very much. David.
Oh yes today got in our second package which we waited over lunch for. Just left in the rain without any ring of doorbell. Taps and die 5/8 by 26 for the regulator outer bush came separately and dry. I always borrowed one in the past. Not being in the works Workshop does have its drawbacks.
Boringly cleaning more metal. Cleaning up a small angle plate and a block onto which I clamp a clear sheet of 2 mm plastic. Hot swarf protection for mill or lathe. Lily undid yesterdays package and organised the 8 mm clamping set that will sit by the Dore Westbury Mill.
David and Lily.

I think the first third of your post there David is firmly in TMI territory; too much information!
Parcel companies are very hit and miss here, with more misses than hits.

"I think I have gone off drinking wine.

I have sleep apnoea pretty bad so I stopped drinking in the evening. Could never drink at lunch time anyway, it made me sleepy all afternoon. Dont miss it at all. I could never drink non alchoholic drinks like Kaliber as they didnt resemble anything so much as p1ss (not that I drink that either). Becks Blue just about makes it as does Asahi Zero ( found that on holiday) as a beer substitute. I cheat sometimes and have a glass of wine for which I pay the next day feeling groggy from lack of proper sleep. Dont miss the Alcohol. I used to drink coffee all the time at work, stopped that when I retired. Just drink water most of the time now. Cant say I miss alcohol or caffeine.

Same here. In my youth 40 plus years ago, I could drink with the best of them, indeed the construction industry in the 1970s consumed alcohol in large quantities, pub at lunch time, pub most evenings. Sometime in the 1980s, this pub culture start to die away, and now its totally forbidden, some clients such as Network Rail will spring random alcohol and drug tests on sites, and if you are positive, you are OFF, and rightly so IMHO. These days I very rarely drink at all, maybe the odd glass of red wine with Sunday Lunch, thats all. In fact I find I don't really like the taste of the stuff any more. When I was working, I'd probably get through about 6 mugs of coffee a day (Coffee - lets you do stupid things faster!), but now I've retired, its probably one, with breakfast, to get me started, and to be honest, I feel better for it. I've probably lost about 2 stones since I was working.

Tried bending some 1.2mm steel. Nearly went okay. Tried to adjust one dimension and made a complete mess of it somehow. Okay start again. Marked up remaining material cut wrong side of line made two bits of scrap! Grrr sheet metalwork was never my cup of tea! Can not believe I made that last mistake though. Still I got few ideas...tomorrow we will see.

Glad to hear it's just not me that has 'one of those days' I tend to just walk away from that particular job and do something else for a while until the brain cells (yes both of them) point in the same direction again. Guy

If beer in a pub was 1/6 old Pence 50 years ago, ie 7.5 new P and now costs 500 p ie 5 pounds today, that is 66.66 more expensive today so at that rate in 50 years time beer will cost 33000 pounds a pint, so perhaps in 25 years time it will cost only 16000 pounds a pint. I wont be around in 25 years, but a lot of you will, think what you will have to earn, to go into a pub for a pint. So cheers to all you jolly lot who have stopped drinking.
I haven't stopped drinking, but I have stopped going to the pub!!!!!!!!

I see what you mean, but 66.66 x£5 is only £3300 a pint in 50 years or £1600 in 25 years, a real bargain for someone. Cheers!
I used to be very partial to draught Guiness, but gave it up when I moved to work in London about 1972, and discovered that the Earls Court pubs charged 25p a pint for it! Shocking!
