the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

This is a thread with no particular

Topic so no one can be off topic 🙂

 

So if anyone out there has something 

To say about anything you like now

Is your chance

 

Keep it clean 

 

And be nice 

 

See how long that lasts

 

Can we keep politics and religion out 

Of the conversation

The "Strandbeest" wind powered walking machine...

 

 

I never did get round to building one, which is probably a good thing, as it would still be roaming the neighbourhood, startling the unwary, ha ha.

Oh wait, not it, me... I always get the two mixed up.... Mwah ha ha ha ha!

The old Heath Robinson tradition still seems to be alive and well...

Thank you Baybizz for the link to Heath Robinson.

 

I particularly liked the quiet dance party.

Re: the nothing ,anything ,everything thread

Dad built his "Homage to Heath Robinson" - an array of taps that that were fixed to the water pipe in the front garden, where, beforehand, only one tap had been...

Each tap was colour coded for the section of garden that it would water.

It was a brilliant device - It's Tuesday, four o'clock, so I'll have to turn yellow on, a quarter turn, for fifteen minutes, and then red, then blue for half an hour to give that area a decent soaking...

We never had to had to move a garden hose again, ha ha.

 

Those books were brilliant, and I was absolutely forbidden from trying to build the things I saw in them, after a young friend of mine, and I demolished an old chicken coop in an effort to find the necessary materials to create a fantastic invention of our own... ha ha.
