Like the Bride's Nighty!

[bitingmidge]

Yep! I'm off!

Well it's not as if I haven't dropped enough hints in the last few weeks, the least of them being the new (temporary) avatar!

Still a few days to go, but things are getting busier and by the end of the week there'll be no more of this for a month I reckon, so bookmark all the good bits while I'm away won't you?

First stop Finland to look for Trolls, a bit of a hitch through the Baltic States before catching the train that Miss Marples and Moriarty are on... armed with some blue peanut brittle methinks!

Eventually we'll drop in on some of
Wongo's Rello's (http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=11186) and The-Factory-That-Builds-All-Things (http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/attachment.php?attachmentid=11178).

When we finally return we'll organise that day at the Home of the Biting Midge, and maybe get to try the new LV Jointer!

Whew!!

I'll be round for a day or two, but well... I just wanted you all to know that I'll probably be back!!

:D :D :D

[echnidna]

Have fun

[Cliff Rogers]

Have a good one P.


I only want one pressy... :D

I'm looking for a copy of a song called "The female of the species is deadlier than the male" by a band called Moon.

I can't find it anywhere & I'm beginning to think that it doesn't really exist.

Their website http://www.moonsounds.co.uk/index.htm makes no mention of it either, so why don't you email them?

That'll save me going all the way to Glasgow!

The web site hasn't moved for more than a year.... I've been there, they ain't home no more.

Best Wishes Lou;)

[kiwigeo]

Enjoy yourself midge....

[Rocker]

Midge,

Please remember to post to the forum as you sip your yak's milk in that Internet yurt in Ulan Bator. If you happen to find a branch of LV there, you may even get a sneak preview of the #7 jointer before you get home. Oh, and if you tire of the troll hunt in Finland, you could always pop into LV, Helsinki, to get one of their plane sacks made from a reindeer's scrotum - perfect for storing those little instrument-maker's planes, and a good conversation piece for the up-coming open day. Have a good trip :)

You are away for a month and may have a new LV jointer when you return?

Do you know something about the jointer, is it nearly available?

Cheers, Jack

[Termite]

Damn, oh well have a good time anyway. :D :D

[silentC]

Don't make any jokes to security staff about bombs in your bags, Midge.

Have fun, write soon, don't forget to forget the aeroguard, I know how that stuff makes your legs twitch.

[Gumby]

[craigb]

Have a good trip Midge.

Perhaps they have an internet Cafe car on the Trans Siberian Express?

Apparently it doesn't have a dining car.

:D

[jshaw]

Cliff,

You sure it was Moon? "The Female of the Species" was a hit for Space. Based on a poem by Kipling.

John

[Daddles]

Thought for the day
About 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year.

[silentC]

Finland, Finland, Finland.
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland.
It's the country for me.

[Cliff Rogers]

...You sure it was Moon? ...
Nope, it's all hearsay, I'll see what I can find, thanks.

[Two-Words]

Bon Voyage !

I'm sure there must be a tale behind that. Please explain Wongo. :D

Have a great trip mate.

[MajorPanic]

Have a great trip Midge!!

Don't forget to bring back that case of fine Trans-Siberian Red wine for our tasting!! ;)

With any luck I'll be up your way this weekend to pick up a slot morticer :D, Mrs. Major & I think your excuse of being overseas is very poor!! We were looking foward to several bottles of Midges Fine Castings on Sunday while overlooking the Estate of Midge & Better Half!! :D :D

[vsquizz]

Yeah, Goodonya...Have fun, leave the Boogey board bag behind at Brisbane airport though.:rolleyes:

Why do you think they are going. ;)
They really arent going, they are just drawing the curtains and turning off the lights until youve gone.

Al :eek:

Slot morticer? Wow! You are really going Light Side there. I look forward to seeing a CNC machine installed soon in the Major workshop :)

[Daddles]

Oh Midge, while you're away, MIK and I are planning ... things. Things which you won't find out about until you return **evil snicker smilie**

Be afraid, be very afraid

Not quite Rocker, :D :D

The Darkside still has the upper hand in the battle for the workshop universe! ;)
Here is also proof that my workshop isn't always clean as a certain Midge alludes to..... :p

http://www.majorpanic.com/images/woodwork/BB/dside-1.jpg

[Rocker]

Major,

My heart bleeds for you having to use one of those dreadful spokeshave thingies, when, if only you had grabbed one whilst they were still available, you could have had a Record compass plane :D

Oh yeh :mad: :mad:......... thanks for reminding about that Rocker!!!!.............. :(

I'll brief Mrs. Major on what to look out for in your workshop & ensure she has a LARGE handbag, well, large enough for a compass plane to fit comfortably without raising suspicions! ;) :D :D

[Daddles]

Well I'll be blowed. Designer shavings :D

Richard

[echnidna]

Well I'll be blowed. Designer shavings :D

Richard

Whats the ffinish on the shavings MP ? :D

[Gingermick]

proof that my workshop isn't always clean
If you can see the floor, or more than 20% of bench space, it's clean

[Daddles]

Yeah. I'm still trying to find the orbital sander I dropped last week (making oars - they produce nearly as many shavings as masts).

Richard

[echnidna]

Your orbital sander makes shavings?? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Daddles]

Yeah, me mate put me onto this ubeaut paper - I'm still trying to find him so I can 'thank' him :mad:

No, the shavings were all honestly obtained using my unbranded, el cheapo No4 that I liberated from a second hand market, my old block plane that I liberated from my Dad, and my spokeshave - second hand but unused from that same second hand market but at a bargain price. Said spokeshave actually works now that I've finally got an edge on it - it appears to have come out of the Stanley factory with a cutting edge that would make a butter knife coo with envy. :D

Cheers
Richard

[MajorPanic]

Whats the ffinish on the shavings MP ? :D
A secret family recipe of N.C.L & wax.. :D ;) :D

[MajorPanic]

If you can see the floor, or more than 20% of bench space, it's clean
I can scarcely stand all the crap on the floor!!!!!!!! :mad:

Gingermick you got it wrong... If only 2% of the floor or bench is covered with 'stuff' it's in need of a clean up!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Just how are you expected to stuff up a piece of furniture or art with all that crap all over the place????? :p

[Sturdee]

Gingermick you got it wrong... If only 2% of the floor or bench is covered with 'stuff' it's in need of a clean up!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:



I fully agree with that. :D Clean up every day is my motto.


Peter.

[Daddles]

Clean up every day is my motto.

I appear to have stumbled into an alternative universe. Could someone please direct me back to reality ... well, my version of it anyway :confused:

Cooommmme Baaaaccckkk Richaaaaard,

Nahhh! True Dark Siders are perpetually ankle-deep in nice curly shavings. Keeps the feet warm and reduces heating costshttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

Cheers!

[Daddles]

My Little Princess (4) loves playing with the big shavings from my plane. It's amazing where I find them, though I do have a healthy commiseration for the poor beggar she eventually marries :D

I find this hard to beleive as TRUE dark siders take the aforementioned plane shavings around to other dark siders & compares their respective results!
Shavings are hence thin on the ground!!!! ;) :D :D :D

Some hypnotherapy

[Daddles]

bounce, bounce, bounce.

She wouldn't be a single mother at my son's school by any chance would she?

Richard

[ozwinner]

No sorry.

Its Miss Marple.

Al :eek:

[Daddles]

:(

[bitingmidge]

If that really was Miss Marple, can I tell you she looks completely different now??

Having eaten pancakes in Scandinavia, the Baltic States, across Siberia, Mongolia and in China, she weighs a LOT more than the bouncies would suggest.

I'm not sure whether my personal favourites were the Latvian ones served with the strawberry soup, or the Chinese ones with the Beijing Duck, but I believe the Marples girl eats mostly the Russian ones with the lashings of chocolate, or sometimes the Mongolian deep fried ones with the sweetened mare's-milk cheese.

Ahhhhhhhh.

If I bag people, it's always behind their backs. I think doing it to their face is rude :rolleyes:
