Home Improvements
1 Attachment(s)
It's raining for the first time in weeks this morning (at least it'll temporarily stop the farmers from moaning) so I decided to put in the latest home improvement in the kitchen, behind the door where only I'll know about it.
Since retiring I've done a lot of these, power shower, central heating boiler, consumer unit, networking ... but I think this might well be my favourite ... :D |
It's defective Bob - there's an empty optic! :eek:
|
:D
Yeah .... I haven't got a bottle to go on that one. I'm trying to think of something .... :rolleyes: |
Cap'n Morgan?
|
Now that's a plan .....:D
|
Coke for tea-total friends? No, poor idea, doubt you've got any of them wierdos.:cool:
|
Verrry nice Bob. Got to say I admire your taste in wood shelving units....
Or am I missing something:) |
No. I have a sort of OCD about blank walls, I immediately want to put a shelf on them. :D:eek:
|
With me it's clocks but I've run out of useable walls.

Can't deny I'm a bit of a clock man myself ... :rolleyes:
But I do wonder of what use a clock might be in a time machine ... :eek::D |
Speedometer?
|
I would like to see a handy fire extinguisher in the Shack Bob.
|
That's probably a good idea given the amount of electrics I've put in there. I'll do that. A smoke detector too.:cool:
|
bob
a jack daniels would be a good companion just in case I dropped in like ?
|
I was going to come across and test your optics Bob. Some bar stewards nicked the seat off my bike.....LOL
|
Tonight they get their first test having filled the remaining optic with Captain Morgans after taking thread advice.
The ice machine is on, the coke is cooling. Venezuela (Cornish style) here I come. :eek: |
Four Bells would have been better, but sadly no more, tear in the eye, ahm now greetin'
|
Haven't seen that for many years Gordon (in fact, since I left the sea.) But it was the standard as I remember it. :rolleyes:
|
we used to get "Caroni 90" for our Tot's back in 1962. Not bad but then again not like the real thing,.
|
I just joined the site so that I could see Bob Clay's home improvements. Very nice!
|
I Googled 4 Bells, it looks as though it can be bought from a German website. Pricey though.

This is the stuff we had in the early 60's
|
The best rum I used to get out of bond was called Black Negrita. The bottle had raffia wrapped round it. It was good for sea sickness . The cure was recommended to me by an a.b. on the first ship I sailed on, a coaster. I found it did not work for everyone. The cook tried it and was seasick in the galley sink. Yuk.

The words of Nobel prize winning scientist Richard Feynman comes to mind on that one: "No matter how beautiful your theory is, if it doesn't agree with experiment, then it's wrong." :D:D |
Thank you Bob for those pearls of wisdom. The cook did threaten to fill me in but when I told him who gave the advice he backed off. I was, in my own defence, a snot nosed O/S.
