Is brass rubbing still a thing? We spent many holidays in the 70s and 80s wandering churches and cemeteries as a family while stepdad and mum did loads of brass rubbings that they'd frame and hang up when we got home. I've not heard it even mentioned in years
I was on a Pan Am flight from Heathrow to San Francisco in 1989. Just me and a Fijian Rugby team. We each had a couple of rows with a few spare.

but at least you won't get shot in the eye and that's why i stand away from the middle of the door when opening it. It does depend on the door though some doors in US apartment buildings are pretty sturdy wood and metal clad
Am I the only one who has a fear* of peep holes in doors and would never use one?
*it's partially related to my eye phobia because anyone could stab or shoot you in the eye if you look through one. i even stand to the side of the door when opening the door if it has a peep hole

Should have seen my hair as a kid as i kept eating bonio by "mistake"
Having a day today. mean to eat a handful or trail mix but grabbed the wrong bag and ate a handful of cat treats instead
I've thinking about a School friend a lot recently wondering whatever happened to him. It's a hell of a long shot but has anyone come across a guy called Ken Weston from Leicester (Oadby) who last I heard (Around 1985/1986) became a Pagan (Wiccan) and travelled the festival circuit on a canal boat
You'll never be poor if you remember these three words.

That part of South Oadby has already been redeveloped up the wazzoo and this looks like it'll be almost the size of Oadby itself. Does sound interesting though

Two portable battery units, roughly carry-on-suitcase-sized with white front panels and dark gray housings, sit on a polished concrete floor against a wall in a commercial kitchen. The unit on the right is plugged into a standard 120V wall outlet. Metal shelving with kitchen supplies is visible in the background.
