Don't think anyone's making Uranium glass anymore, these are what is called 'Cranberry' as there's red glass mixed in and that makes them almost certainly late 19th century.

I just wanted a piece or two for the amusement value.

Ignoring it .. whistle:   
But it's a biggie, an 8 pounder  clicky


 scared2:


I'll get me black suit cleaned...
A cat has taken possession of my lap, might not be today
Maybe Wednesday
Cat (Cobnut) decided to (a) help and (b) demand I took him for a walk up the garden.  In the few swings at logs I managed I learnt a very valuable lesson:  just buy cut logs.  I am definitely no lumberjack.

Yarp, I had a 'one use' chopper too...  noooo:

Fighting the vagaries of the Mac OS on sis-in-laws Mac.  1 hour download it demands for an OS update that Apple actually already knew will not work with it  Banghead.

Then look at how much she'd need to spend to get a new Mac with same 1TB storage.   £3,669  Shocked:   noooo:
