***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Cracked open a new tin of HH Dark Fired to go in a recently-acquired Meer-lined Orlik. Once I've swept up the last of the leaves. Now Storm Darragh has blown through, there are none left on any of the trees.- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Cats, and their territorial aspirations, eh? A bed with warm humans in it seems to be the absolute summum bonum for any feline. When Mrs B and I had three, the geopolitics of who got to sleep where, were complex and frequently occasioned nocturnal alarms and excursions. After which, their...- MisterBadger

Would that merit a new thread of its own, do we think?- MisterBadger

Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?
A lot of deep and interesting things have been said here on the subject, and maybe every single one of them is right (OK, nearly all of them). Well, it seems to me that, just as there are different ways of interpreting the question and answering it, so there are different kinds of spirituality...- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
We do. Mostly in a medieval walled town like Ludlow, houses were independently built abutting one another to save space, but we also have a couple of 19thC purpose-built terraces (but built on the site of medieval ones). Rapidly-expanded industrial towns have a lot, mostly from the Victorian...- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
I remember them going up. I had friends on a farm in Little Cornard. They swore they'd sell up and move when those horrible boxes started appearing over Prospect Hill. And they did. I don't care to go back that way again, and look. The old farmouse is now probably part of an extension to that...- MisterBadger

Picking on Brits a Bit
Here in Ludlow we have at least 500 timber framed houses, all at least 3 centuries old, built before bricks caught on again more than a millennium after the Roman building industry collapsed with the end of the Empire in the West. And there are also a few new ones with timber frames, built to...- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
Sounds interesting. The nearest I've ever come to this, is a sort of donburi of smoked mackerel on top of kimchijeon (kimchi pancakes) served with grilled aubergines in miso and stir-fried shiitake mushrooms, concocted by Mrs. B. We never gave it a name. Obviously, Jiminks' approval would be...- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***
One can rarely be sure with cats. One of ours, Tabitha, used to go out when we went out to work and rejoin us in the evening when we were back. One day she came back with a message written on her collar - a request to 'Owner' to call a certain number. I called it, and it turned out to be the...- MisterBadger

That had me scurrying to Google... I see that they serve battered fried fish with vegetables other than sliced deep fried potatoes and mushy peas. That's just plain weird.- MisterBadger

I thought so. That would explain his frequent, protracted absences. Thanks.- MisterBadger

You're only jealous because your grudges can be no more than about 300 years old. But given time, you'll be as crusty as some of us are.- MisterBadger
