Wow. Given its astringency, I'm surprised it is possible to drink it.

Mind you, a wine importer / hotelier was once quite candid about his product: the only generalisation about wine is that the more you drink the better it gets.

Now, where's that last misshapen Coke bottle of elderflower fizz? I'll have some when the sun's gon down :)

Avoiding the human race: that's a little harsh.

No it's not. I'm with Bd on that one. In fact...see pix.

Perhaps the a hole is actually me. If that's the case then so be it.  :-+

In this case the hole is in my head.

I was attempting, and totally failing, to imply that many fenlanders don't come across as entirely human.

There's the infamous notation on doctors' notes: NFN, or "normal for norfolk" implying that the patient has a limited intellect. I'm sure there's the equivalent for the fens.

I had to look up what "Fenlanders" are/is. Over here I can't think of any particular class or locale of folks that I would classify that way. In reality over here it cuts across all racial/ethnic boundaries. Some folks are just plain stupid.  :palm:

OK, let me bring us back to TEA. For a while I've been contemplating as to what to do with that space above the Flukes. It's just begging for something to occupy it. Ebay has come to the rescue and provided the answer. It should be here in a few days. I'm not going to say what it is just yet but of course when it arrives I will give full details as well as naughty pron.  :-+

I will provide a clue....I love the look of ruby red LED displays in the morning.

My apologies for the translation difficulties.

The Fens were until quite recently very marshy. They were a traditional place for those that wished to escape from justice/armies/etc to hide out for a long time. More recently the marshes have been drained and it is now prime agricultural land. However, it is still something of a backwater, with too much inbreeding and an overall atmosphere of never having moved out of the 1960s.

Another similar backwater is the Forest of Dean - where there are still "freeminers" that dig out coal with a pick and shovel (and possibly even pit ponies!).

Check out this unexpected pron. What we have here are the internal structures of a 450 lumen LED bulb (left) and an 800 lumen LED bulb (right). And how did I get these plus 2 others? By simply installing them in the 2 gooseneck lamps I recently bought. For some reason the glass bulb spontaneously shatters at the base and falls off. I don't have to touch or move the lamps. I hear this “clink” and the bulb falls off. I have no idea why. And the LED's continue to function. It is really weird.

I haven't had this happen in any other lamps. And I'm not screwing them in real tight either. As I stated the bulbs continue to function so I'll be damned if I'm going to throw them away. Just don't go sticking your fingers up there with power on and possibly get a shock.
