Hippo's latest activity

Nope it went like, Hi mate I'll have a shandy :p

Haven't got eny Wellington boots 😂😂

Nope the sheep are big Woolie fluff balls and the goats are wirey haired :p J

No rust is gold dust. You are ready to go a long way.

It's not just the welsh then 🤣

Are the sheep thay have more like goats ? Thay are here black and white hairy and long legged, thay call them mounting sheep a local breed for this area we grow mint just for them 😊

I would have thought with infections thay would change the dressing on a regular basis ??

Ooops! my AM post was still in the tray and not actually posted. My bad. Went with the Mrs. to see the MIL in hospital. Poor old gal is still as loopy as they come, was trying to pull her cannula out and complaining her leg itches. The dressing...

Undoubtedly

Morning All. :D Not a good start to the day as the cat has just graced us with a bladder full all over the lounge floor...and then run outside to go for a pooh. :( TBH the pooh is easier to clear up and does less damage. I am so fed up with...

Is that why wellies where invented 😃

I have no problem with mutton (or any meat cooked right). But yes there is a cull at the end of season that includes goat so local stews can be a bit of a mix 🤔. J

They still do, from what I hear :p

I think the Welsh kept sheeps for their company over the long dark winters nights

Sheep were produced for their wool back in the days before cotton and synthetic fabrics. You could either have clothes or eat the sheep. So other animals were the ones which got scoffed.

Mutton is more popular in Europe, dunno why, maybe it's a leftover thing from the cull at year end before Winter ...

It's the same here also Stan I have given up ordering it unless I have a saw in my pocket all red meat is cooked till it's falling apart or bashed to death, That's why we mainly eat game , but the sea food is first class, A few years ago a...

W doesn't really eat steak but I do, and what amazes us is that over here, nearly every steak you get in a restaurant, even quite a cheap cut, is always OK, but buying decent steaks in shops is a nightmare. Even our normal butcher, who is brill...

We dont know TBH. But they dont really seem to make it a staple on the menu. Pigs/Chickens are easier to keep ;). They dont seem to keep "meat" cows, some dairy cows are around. Lamb is not cheap either for some reason I dont understand as there...

This is exactly what I intend to do. I am thinking of two pack adhesive, or filler with fibreglass in it. It doesn't have to look pretty it just has to do the job. The real pain is that there is a two legged shade sitting inside the reflector...

Fitting me garvester today. Just the drain pipe bit. Harvest bit will hafter wait till eye sorts out a hose pipe. Doing it when the sun hides behind the clouds. Got me scaff tower out so far.

With modern lights its difficult to tell. I have a set of LHD headlights for the Beast sitting on the workbench and cant see much difference to whats in the car(RHD) at the moment. I am guessing (from a bit of goggle) you have a clear front on...

So, hot and dry today. We have just got back from going down to the centre of the village where they have had their own "vide grenier". Nowt we wanted to buy, except plants, of which there were a lot on sale. So W had to buy 6 of course! Enjoy...

So why is good steak hard to get? If you don't mind my asking?

I should also mention that, by law, French garagistes have to be willing to replace non-safety critical parts with secondhand ones. Part of their bid to increase recycling and help the environmint.

We of course would be all in favour of that. Trubble is it'd take as long to renegotiate it as it did to negotiate leaving, and we'd all, both us and the yuropeens, be tripping over ourselves and each other to try and ensure it din't leave...

Afternoon folks :). Went out for food last night as we couldnt decide what to make for tea. Bad news is our little eatery has been sold and maynot be open this year😢. But we have found another (new place) its a bit further away 30-40mins, so we...

This is all very well but peeps like us who have to have our passports stamped to prove we haven't overstayed our long-stay visas., will still have to get it done. TBH, at the moment it is still quite quick, but then we don't use airports nor the...

...and you started the conversation with "Hello, ducky, love your new loafers!"

For dip or main beam? what??? Nowt wrong wiv indicators.
