Matters of consequence

[Fido]

I often used to tell my children that I was engaged on a matter of consequence. Just like now.

England 194-4.

Yes Yes I agree, those are not the best pair of socks :lol:

lol great pic with the feet

love the phone.

194-4 Is that a good score?

 

[Fido]

All things are relative. England only needed 213 to win, so it was a good score - and they did win.

Mention of telephones prompted me to turn to my left and snap this. A clue to some of my other interests!
The phone is known as a Type16 ( or Skeleton) and was the first produced by the GPO around 1890. It can take calls but it would ruin it to make it possible to phone someone with it. I found it in a shop in Lyndhurst several years ago. Paid £250 for it. You would lucky to find one for less than £1K now. The two bells are ones I had made to my spec. The one on the left by Taylors of Loughborough, the one on the right by Cornille Havard in France. As for English cricket - I have played and watched since consciousness set in.

I guess this is a matter of consequence. My fourth brush has arrived. Now I wonder what might tempt me to add another, and when.

I must be completely crackers. I thought it had failed and have no idea how I did it!

Yes that's this old timer, outside his favourite London venue. Only joking - The Royal Opera House is my mecca. Or Wembley Stadium.

Copy only the line that I have highlighted in red.Press the Img button above the space where you type.Paste the copied text in between the tags.It should look like this
