Has Anyone Heard Of Henry Simpole?

[Truffle Finder]

This is beginning to sound like an 'overheard' conversation between 'Fat Man', and the 'Boy Blunder'!

Sounds like a re-occurance of the dreaded 'Warm Fussies' coming on agin!!! HUH?

Methinks, I had better insure that my utility belt is fully equipped with all the necessary tools to cope with the Warm Fussies, and those pesky 'Ways and Means!'

Robin.................. "To the Bat Cave' immediately!"

PS! Those emotrons are getting out of hand agin!!!

[esterbex]

Uh oh....too much tea....

[Ghost Plane]

I am emoticon deprived due to typing on a fruit. Woe is me.

[esterbex]

Oi vey indeed! I'd top you up except that this new software limits how much

emoting can be shared....

 

Two head slaps in the line-up seemed appropriate somehow....but had to delete one along with some others.

 

I have found that you can drag and drop them w/ Mac OS and Windows.

Might work w/ fresh fruit.

[Ghost Plane]

Unless I quote you & take from there, I can't even see them to drag on this OS. Supposed to get dealt with in future.

[esterbex]

Well frick and frack! Rotten fruit!

Not 'Earth-shattering' news, but today, I am going over to visit the Box-makers, [some distance away from where I am based], and because of my inability to navigate my way around unfamiliar areas of the capital by car, I have booked a mini-cab to get me there! Returning home will be by Tube, but at least I should be able to arrive there on time!

I always enjoy going over there, and I'm hoping that today's visit will be as interesting as it has been in the past.

This automaton video was shared with some of us and was so creepily wondrous and forum appropriate that I'll share it here, by request.

Thanks GP!

[Ghost Plane]

You're welcome. Too good to miss.

Despite the 'Planned Engineering Works' going on for the second weekend running, I made the journey to, and from Portobello quite well, all things considered.

Some familiar faces turned up, and some purchases were made, and I bought a French Watermans Set B/Point and F/pen, in a Briar-Wood finish, which I have not come across before, but it is in remarkably good condition, so I am hoping that it will sell quite quickly.

I have noticed that this thread seems to have gone over the 87,000 mark! So it seems that the move from the Frequently Discussed Topics hasn't deterred people from looking here to see what's going on!

Amazing!

[Truffle Finder]

Some good news just in!

I have received an E-mail from a gentleman who wants a repair done to another Dunhill Namiki Pen, apparently there is a crack in the mouth of the cap about a centimetre long, but fortunately does not interfere with the laquer pattern on the cap surface.

Anyway he is going to send it to me, and then I will start working on it.

Can't wait!

Please take before and afters Truffle.....

(And a gentle reminder to charge up the battery and check the memory disk and take the camera to the London Pen Show Sunday!!!!)

[Truffle Finder]

Memory chip:- "Check!'

Charge the battery:- "Check!"

Take the camera to the show on Sunday:- "Check!"

..................."at least I hope I remember to take the camera with me!"

Perhaps someone could remind me tomorrow morning?!

Truffle Finder.

[esterbex]

Put it in your case as soon as you read this...

[Truffle Finder]

Having just got back from a very successful Portobello Road, I am pleased to say, that the camera has had it's 'thingy' fully charged up, and I found the 'memory' thing, and that has been put into the said camera!

So we're all ready to go, all I need is a good photographer!

Truffle Finder.

[esterbex]

I'm sure one with more than proficient skills will appear to aid you in your time of need.

Exactly four years later, the answer is YES.

Having woken up pretty early this morning, I'm now wide awake, and the two 'wheeley-bags' are all packed up, and the two thermos flasks are filled up with the tea, for Tim and myself! So, I'm about ready to go!!!

Here's hoping that it is going to be as good as it was last year.

Exactly four years later, the answer is YES.

And the question was?
