Take a look through these interviews and you may get an idea of what a stupid — egotistical and racist individual she is. And she was Corbyn’s left hand!——- until even he couldn’t keep her quiet.Quote:

Hospital check up at 8:00 am—- finger doing ok—- anti- biotics kicked in—— still a bit of custard oozing, but mostly good. Splint stays on for another two weeks, then another assessment?
Managed a day on my new beastie .—— really enjoyed it.
Boris has closed all pubs, restaurants— theatres, gyms, cafes and bars and schools.Clubs and strip joints.
Recalled 65,000 retired nurses and doctors —— it’s all a bit of a mess really.
Jackie. We have several just like her. Makes you wonder what people see in these people on election day?Quote:

Got something for you Gene——- it’s the six pot Radial— Rotorbine.
Its nearly there— I’ll post you a couple of piccies when I’m done——it’s a concept of the 1932 Schneider Trophy plane entered by the Italians.
As I said the motor is a Six cylinder ITCHIFANNI , made in Turin—— it’s a beautiful work of art .
There are three people I know who are going to snatch my hand off for this one—— You—— Gary Stray—or CLIVE KIRBY. PROMISE ILL POST SOME PHOGGIES SOON.
In the past we used to send flowers to that special person in our lives. Now we give the gift that keeps on giving....

Itchifanni Rotary Radial —— just got the injected exhaust and the blower and were nearly there!
Now the world has stopped spinning—- don’t know whether I ought to just stay put!
That sneaky bastard the grim reaper hasn’t been around in a while—- but I understand his sidekick CORRI VEE.has been seen lurking in the shadows.
Be vigilant my friends—- be careful—- legislation may seem a tad “DRACONIAN” but, if you’re alive and well next CHRISTMAS——— you did it right!
Attachment 461111
Blackthorn is full out——- now we’re into the “ Blackthorn Winter.”
This lasts for approximately six weeks, before we get the summer sunshine!
Mother nature took absolutely no notice of Coronvirus!
Lowestoft and OULTON Broad ( oldest power boat racing club in the world) has cancelled its first spring meeting.
No prospect of any further events of any kind soon.
Daughter Sam arrives back from the USA this morning——ENGLAND is a different place today from the one she left just ten days ago. Interestingly, she had no difficulty catching the very plane the return flight was booked on.
What is worrying is the fact that 350 people are entering a country—— supposed to be in lockdown—— without any screening or testing for the virus——aircraft have long been breeding grounds for coughs and colds———- they are where folk are packed in like sardines , with the person behind coughing and spluttering all over the hog market , so much for the isolation theory!
cant be long before martial law is brought in.
Now the virus has spread to Africa—- every single country has reported victims.
North Korea claims it doesn’t have a single person with the disease—- but then again—- truth is not one of their strong points.
Boris’s dad is claiming French nationality ? —- his mother was French——well, there was a war on !!!
Government tell us the peak of the disease should be in two weeks time???—- but reserve the right to change the goalposts !!!
We do have wall to wall sunshine for the next five days with a gentle breeze—— trouble is its coming from the east ( Norway) and its cold as charity.
Spent the day in the shop yesterday clearing up—— I was falling over myself, due to my lack of enthusiasm for tidiness.
Next comes the dreaded clear out——stuff I haven’t used in over a year has to go!
I will try and be a bit more cheerful with next offering!
Unplugged every device that was plugged in my worktop, including the one that almost cost me a finger.
Repaired three of them and serviced every one. Chucked one, as it had been playing up for a while.
I can actually walk up and down the workshop without turning sideways !
Nother couple of days I will have the shop exactly the way I always wanted it ——— then I’ll batten down the hatches and beat the crap out of CORRI-Vee.
Had a mad fit of depression and redesigned my workbench —— I used to have up to ten devices plugged in at once —- all ready to go.
Problem with this, is that I’m left with a desk full of twisted wires and no room to manoeuvre or construct concepts.
Meant constructing a supporting framework to hold nine electrical contraptions .
Well it’s in situ, I’d had enough for today anyway— 17:00 hours, sun must be over the yardarm somewhere in the world.
Its not that I’ve got an appointment—- or even allowed out tomorrow.
Boris just about shut down everything—— two days away from martial law at this rate.
He’s just closed ALL small businesses—— with an order to stay indoors to everyone else, taken control of the railway network——- told all holiday makers to return home at once as He's grounding all aircraft.
Looks like I have all the time in the world to get the workshop exactly as I dreamed it would always be.
Everything is the north of Italy is closed except supermarkets and pharmacies.
The more you delay the more thats where your country will end up

I thought being an island might help, but it hasn’t. They even have it in Ireland and on the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
If you are caught outside for any reason than the few allowed you can be fined up to £1,000 and thrown in to the hoosgow!
20,000 troops on standby for London alone—- can only be 24 hours away from martial law!!!
Now me!!!—— let me tell you a bit more about what I’m up to in the shop !!!!!—————
Attachment 461250
When I tell you I’m clear out the shop——- you’d better believe me !
Came across an old carrier bag chock ful of old boating trophies—— mostly club trophy’,s—- but some from Essen—- Baden Baden —— Paris and Milan.
Plus the dreaded second place six hour trophy—— and a cup winners football trophy from the early sixties !
a trophy of trophy s?
Je ne comprand pas Pilgrim ?—- second place Paris trophy is silver coloured ???? Probably lead—— it’s felt like that for fifty years.Quote:

messy = more artistic .
When a boatbuilder is busy, snot, sawdust and wood shavings are all over the hog market—- When Hodges got his head down and his arse up, his only interest was a finished product. There wasn’t enough money in the game to employ cleaners! Just before he turned the light off, he would have a clean up!Quote:

Schultze workshop was like mine—— bottom of the yard shed—- when the lady finished feeding the livestock she helped him glue up and then cleaned up afterwards.
Konigs workshop was more cluttered than mine ever knew how to be.
Burgess was middle of the road, but he always had more work than he could cope .
Charlie Shepherd was designer, builder, salesman, dogsbody workshop was generally a mess, but the most genial man I ever met.
Seebold was always up to his fetlocks in shavings, but Bebe was in charge, and kept the place in good shape!
Wobbly at Blue Fin wasn’t the tidiest worker, but his work was beautiful.
Souters was a very tidy shop.
The dirtier the shop, the more artistic as a fallacy from those that aren’t really that talented but hide behind the chaos.
Jackie, I know you always had a high regard for Charlie Shepherd as did we all. Did you manage to stay in touch with the family or as with the rest of us “life got in the way”?

With a bit of artists licence—- I’m sure I can come up with a semblance—- but with additions.
The very first one ordered had a rear dicky seat and a rack of Purdeys The top was reinforced and sported a rake of made to measure suitcases by Finnegans, reported to have cost damn near as much as the Rolls itself!
Great a trophy from all of the trophysQuote:

No movement from any of the neighbours vehicles—— none of them have moved for days.
Alarming reports of how one person can infect 59,000 others with the virus——- three times more infectious than flu———-half of the population could have been infected since January—— how do I know ???? It’s a “STUDY BY STUDENTS AT OXFORD UNIVERSITY “——- not exactly “written in stone”
more of a theory study by bored silly pupils with nothing better to do.
But as there’s not a great deal of other news, the media is grasping at straws and scaring the pants of gullible readers.
Believe your Donald calls it
Fake News.

Now we are facing total shutdown—- people not responding to the two metre distance rule—- London tube trains packed—— essential workers children only allowed in schools, ( suddenly every mother is an “essential worker”
We are still allowed out once a day for exercise—- that’s it—- stay indoors and go stir crazy the rest of the time????
50,000 Tasers being issued to police officers—— no,—— english policeman do not carry guns—- but those damned tasers can kill an older person, or someone with a dodgy ticker just as easy as a six gun.
Martial law is getting closer——— I can feel it in my water!!!
Had a “Tranquil “ morning in the shop—- it seems so much bigger since I cleaned it up——- it’s a joy to have a free and clear worktop ( reminds me whe I used to go to Raistrick from the Brighouse school for metalwork lessons———— master always insisted we left the place exactly as we found it !
Nothing like early learning —— it stays with you for ever.
Doesn't mean you’ll always abide by the teachings, but if you did, you’d make life a lot easier!
Im attacking the work at a much steadier rate of knots now——- I’ve got time to stop and smell the roses, stand back and admire the progress——- finished product should benefit enormously from this!.
Theres no crap on the shop floor whatsoever—— Mats in in front of the vice and lathe—— how cool is that?
Damn thing never did grace the Hodges built cabinet along with the 300 trophies i was proud of!Quote:

It was priceless back in the day when you won of these. My heart just wouldn’t be in it .They didn’t have any value whatsoever except to the recipient!

Hey Gene, how ya like those apples ????—— you really could have bacon and eggs off the floor these days——- first time ever I’ve been able to construct a concept on the bench!
Cooking with gas—— and as Mert used to say “ Haulin Mail” !
Remember I told you I sold the South Bend to a lad in China——- today, he FaceTimed me——- this time without a face mask. I commented on this, he told me In China— Coronavirus is no longer—- no new cases for three days——- ITS OVER ,!!!?? Could it possibly be there’s a light at the end of the tunnel?
Yesterday, there were 87 new cases in the UK —— today—- 44—— it’s still 44 too many, but it does spark a glimmer of hope.
Thank God for the decent weather —— shudder to think what the despondency would have been like if it had been raining all the time.
We just have a weekly delivery of groceries now——larder has always been well stocked and the deep freeze fridge is full to busting—— but it always has been!
Progress in the shop is steady—— must say, I’m more relaxed about the stuff i do.
Don't exactly “Rush” out there in the morning—-I also manage to knock off early and sink a large one before dinner.
Did wonder if the world would ever get back to being NORMAL ,
Sheets seem to hang on a little longer—- I take longer to prepare for the day—- I savour breakfast these days—— take a last look at the iPad, ( Well, Peters or Pilgrim—- maybe even Fuji might have dropped me a line).—— before I Don the work gear and meander out to the shop !
You all have a nice day—— I’m going to.
