You know, not everyone holds knighthood in that high esteem, apart from John Lennon, you might want to check out http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/12/21/uk.honors/ And, if you look at its history, it has more to do with power broking and payback rather than 50's hollywood accounts of king Arthur...

A sound and worthy cause me'thinks, and not wishing to take anything away from anyone, merely to add to the recognition deserved. I beg to comment that behind every great man there is always a surprised woman. Therefore I suggest a couple of Dames of the Empire awards as well. :idea: *If it weren't ...

Do I detect the faint whirrings of the Slotalot Incorporated Workshops firing up for a new project?

I have only ever seen these machines once before. They were being operated at a steam fair in Yorkshire and were in terrible condition
Good luck with your hunt.

eBay item 350305477276 is a Vintage Reproduction ............ A WHAT???

Even after all these years I'm still humbled by how a machine can outsmart me. My little Mills QT has always been a firm favourite in my collection and after selling a few of my machines at the Coventry auction I had a space downstairs (courtesy of the management committee), so the QT escaped from t...

Yes I used to have one of those, I bought it at a collectors' fair for £12 it had better paint as well.

I thought I'd been fumbled for a minute then, but me teeth are the only original parts of me.

Have you got any pics of this mayhem???? Mayhem Jimmy? Sounds like bliss to me. And it's fine coming from you, who ever heard of a tidy farmyard? :roll: Farmers are known for their messiness, otherwise why do they always put the gate at the muddiest corner of the field ? eh ? SkEpTiCaL I admit I ke...

You're a very cunning linguist Mr P.

How much did it cost you to get your ass restored? Only mines not been working too well since Christmas.......

You need a turnstile on your front door so you can charge admission.

I see your line of thinking Jimmy but don't think putting your lighthouse down a well is the answer.

I need more practice when I do what Slotalot? In this weather? I've given that pass time up until at least Muck Spreading Tuesday has come and gone. Anyway, my probationary officer recommended that in future I just hand out flyers describing my prowess instead of displaying it on street corners and ...

I've just gone out for a wander around my compost heap. Who can identify the machines I found?


The winner gets the sweety vendor I threatened you all with over a year ago, and I still have (see the beginning of this thread)

Total sympathy to Richard over this awful event and I'm sure we've all benefited from his sharing the details and advice he has to offer. I'm very surprised that amongst our ranks we don't have an insurance expert who can walk us through the minefield that is the world of insurance. However we do ha...

This is a luxury ocean going yacht that Jennings made around the same time ........They called it Skippy

I've just read this thread and followed all of the links ............ I can only conclude my medication is too strong ......... you won't believe the prices I've imagined I've been reading!

Here we go another year and decade. Do you remember when you were a child and you worked out how old you'd be in the year 2000 ? .......... and then decide that was so old you'd never make itt? Well I got news for you , that was ten years ago! :shock: So what "still to be tackled" projects...
