Well it is time for my New Year’s message to all my readers. Old Gordie has done one, call me Dave has and I believe Nick somebody muttered something as well.
I can promise you that if you keep reading my blog you will not learn anything, be subjected to unwarranted rants about anything that takes [...]

OK, done Christmas now. Done all the usual things, had fun and now its snowing again. Supposed to do a big dump on us today but hasn’t so far - just a pithering as my mother in law says. Think I need to really do some indepth research into my proposition that we are entering [...]

Well its really here - Christmas that is. I have to say the last few months have been hard work and I really hope I get to put my feet up for a few days - although I am sure Mrs Old Fart will have me running around most of the time.

Sir Terry has become an institution with his ability to look on the bright side and find something to [...]

Another great step forward for the nanny state. Liam Donaldson, the chief medical officer, has decided that all young people under 15 should not be exposed to a single drop of alcohol as otherwise they will become raving drunks and die young. What a load of complete and utter drivel! I just cannot believe how [...]

You just would not believe the amount of honey up the chimney. Huge great lumps of honeycomb and honey running down the chimney. The sweeps rods were covered in the stuff. We reckon the last time a fire was lit in that chimney must have been about 25 years ago so the bees have been [...]

Well we exterminated the bees this morning. Pity really as there was honey dripping down the chimney. All you had to do was make some toast and hold it at the bottom of the chimney and there you had it - honey on toast. Unfortunately was a bit sooty. Anyway after putting a couple of [...]

More wildlife. Went to all the trouble of having a hood made for the fire in the lounge to ensure it would draw; tried lighting the fire and guess what? It still smoked the room out. So had a chimney sweep in again today. The last one in September reckoned he had cleared it - took down [...]
