How does a cable rigged saddle work? Is there a pro or con with them? Tony.

We just call soft drink, "cordial" down here. We also have a syrup which is usually called "water cordial" as you put so much syrup in a glass and then add water. No one ever calls it pop or soda. The only time you'd ask for soda is if you wanted some in your scotch. Tony.

I have a speed reducer as well as a servo and it's great, you can have both hands on the article and don't need one on the flywheel to start off. It has taken me a while to get used to the fact that I don't have to depress the pedal and let the brake off to turn the flywheel, I've nearly been caught a couple of times especially so since it is so quiet you forget it is live and ready to go. The servo just makes things so much easier. Tony.

Yes Ray, the TFL was on here several years ago and they made some serious artery clogging food which is why it tasted so good!! You know that anything that tastes nice is bad for your health. Tony.

The "Two Fat Ladies" used to cook some great food. I don't know if their tv show was on in the US or not. Tony.

Apart from the State Police which use 1 1/4" belts, most other belts I make are 1 3/8" and sometimes 1 1/2" but 1 3/8" are the most popular. Tony.

They also had "Pricking Up Feet" in diff. sizes. Tony.

You are a font of knowledge, Barra. We now know who Grimleys were.Here are a couple more pages of the price list.Tony.Only one got posted.

Love the cartoon!

You shouldn't have any trouble cutting that shape with a round knife as long as it is sharp. Tony.

About the only thing I can think of that uses the term "score" is that the Crayfishermen (Rock lobster ) use it to count their catch out here. Tony.

What is Frumenty and what is Bulgar? Tony.

There's nothing like a nice Spotted Dick is there? Reminds me of the Two Fat Ladies as they cooked some great stuff! Tony.

Here's a clearer shot.

Here is a page from a price list I have from 1910. The firm was Grimleys. Has anyone heard of them? Prices seem cheap and they're not from India or China! I hope it is readable! Tony.

Yeah Davy, Father Ted was a great show. Our local vet looks just like Father Ted and he often gets ribbed about it. Tony.

Hi Chuck. How do you keep your saddle so clean and new looking after riding it for 18 months? Tony.

That's how it works here in my neck of the woods also, Kate. Tony.

I read in the paper a couple of days ago that "Miss Brahms" in "Are You Being Served" has an aggressive,terminal cancer. She is 65 years old. Tony.

If you take either one of these concoctions you can do anything you wish!!!

Diff. here Jordan. it was 25c, summer is coming. There was a small scrub fire about a mile from here when I went to bed and when I couldn't sleep due to back prob. I got up at 3.45 and it is quite large now. I'm just glad the wind is blowing it away from us. Tony.

The first episode of The American version of Kath and Kim was on tv last night. I hope it can get better as I hardly got a laugh out of it. Have they shown the Australian version over there yet? A couple of my favourite US shows are "Two And a Half Men" and Frasier.

Crystal, don't they deep fry everything in the states!!! Tony.

Black Adder series was hilarious, especially the one re. the WW1. Time Team is on now out here.

Good job, Jordan. Tony.
