  1. I have some cracking photos going back to victorian times of my ancestors, a relation did our family tree back to 1652, very interesting showing to grandkids. 

    Some census data showing they were all farm hands, labourers and Hackney carridgers. I love going through it all.

  2. And even over a hundred years ago you'd get folk acting up as soon as the camera comes out ? they were a curio then though, see them watching the bloke cranking the handle. 

    The tech now to colourise, upscale and stabalise is impressive. I watched that first world war one last year, poignant to say the least.

    Don't want to ruin the good vibe, but not sure what whales they mean,  we have orca here and a guy has been doing a thriving business for years doing whale watching tours. The world's biggest population of humpback whale are in the Atlantic ? 

  4. Is there a thing as a "covid passport" ? Not in the UK I have heard of?

    When we goto south America etc we have to have yellow fever, mine has never been checked yet, in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Cuba (did I mention how ace Cuba is?) Surinam, carribean etc. We choose  to have mallaria typhoid rabies etc

    How are they going to enforce this, there are actually no passports issued yet for covid???

  5. I watch all the channels if I so wish and haven't had a TV license in over twenty years. 

    No contact no contract, they have no means of proving anything unless you admit it and sign the form! Everytime they came to my door I just said no thanks an shut it, I can't remember the last time they came its that long ago, 10+ years, they must have given up and gone after a softer touch. I still get letters of all threats, they go in the bin, there's no one in our house called "the occupier" ? 

    If your aggressive they can call/bring the cops, but only to prevent a breach of the peace, they have no right of entry and you don't have to give any details.

  6. Them automated messages, have you pressing endless selections of numbers, then asks you to say in a few words why your calling, "to speak to someone" isn't a valid reason so after 20 mins of going all round the houses, it says "thank you for calling" an bloody hangs up..... Grrrrr

    You need a manservant ,a pony or 1 of Ben,s trained sheep ??

    Should train some of our goats up to be pack goats ? our sheep are too stupid, all on keeping thier feet the right way up. 

    They used to use well trained ponies out on the bog to bring beast back, they'd roll over bog so as not to sink, days long gone! Straps, long ropes and a winch on the quad helps, I'll be buggered doing twenty + miles out there now ?
