Guy Mallinson Woodland Workshop: December 2010
http://guymallinson.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 8 December 2010. Chair-Making In The Snow. I dont mind admitting we were really tested for the whole week, one way or another. The emergency calls from some of the guests needing collection from various places in the lanes between the main road and the Woodland Workshop set the tone! Yes, this did constitute a disaster, and theres no more stock of elm bark in the country, anywhere, even if it could have been delivered. No, it doesnt stop there. There were the lithium battery drills that we...

IDLE: January 2013
http://idle-idle.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 January 2013. Just how stupid, sad and sick do you have to be to go to a demonstration with a poster like the one being held by the imbecilic man above? Tuesday, 29 January 2013. Typical of the Breed. I am assured this is for real. Courtesy of those competent fund managers at Artemis:. A member of the ‘online community’, 23 January 2013. Monday, 28 January 2013. Is it just me, or might this have justified 30 seconds on the national news over the weekend? Torygraph Blog, this afternoon:.

IDLE: October 2012
http://idle-idle.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 October 2012. Double O 7 1/2 out of 10. I have been won over by Daniel Craig after Skyfall. I remember a critic (Charles Spencer, I think) describing the shock of the new thuggish Bond rather brilliantly when reviewing his first outing in Casino Royale, something along the lines of:. I paraphrase, having failed to find the quote on google. But you get my drift. I think not. And I cringed when the (miscast Lancastrian Albert Finney) old gamekeeper and retainer hands Bond a twelve bore sho...

IDLE: Couldn't Agree More
http://idle-idle.blogspot.com/2013/09/couldnt-agree-more.html
Tuesday, 17 September 2013. Rory Sutherland: A mansion tax that monkeys would understand. I am surprised no more attention has been given to Martin Vander Weyer’s suggestion in The Spectator. Two weeks ago that a mansion tax should be levied on those buyers who pay no other UK tax. Why has it taken so long for anyone to raise this idea? Where tax paid against income should be set against tax paid on property? To anyone other than an economist, the answer to this question is probably no. The Blairite/Cama...

Wednesday, 28 April 2010. Photos From The First Week's Courses. I thought Id add a few photos (taken by guests) from the first weeks courses. I particularly like the bodgers shelter (top right), and I couldnt resist showing off our first camper! Thursday, 22 April 2010. First Course Of The Year. We've just held our first course of the year - and I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed them! Lovely weather, great guests . you couldn't ask for more. Tuesday, 13 April 2010. Three Days Of (Totally Exhausting) Fun.

IDLE: Worth the Licence Fee
http://idle-idle.blogspot.com/2013/09/worth-licence-fee.html
Thursday, 12 September 2013. Worth the Licence Fee. The Wipers Times - did you see it last night? Beeb 2. Absolutely outstanding. Wonderfully acted (who had heard of Ben Chaplin, apart from his mother and his agent, until last night? Brilliantly scripted, laugh out loud funny and genuinely moving without a grain of sentimentality. Understated and rather good. 12 September 2013 at 21:11. Thanks for the tip. 15 September 2013 at 16:09. Watched it yesterday, and well worth the visit via Iplayer! 16 Septembe...

IDLE: May 2013
http://idle-idle.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 29 May 2013. For a modern example of a good result apparently justifying no end of foolishness, I refer you to two dogged but somewhat unimaginative cricket professionals, Coach Flower and Captain Cook. The result completely vindicates the tactics' they waffled. 'We've won by over 200 runs, what is there to complain about? Let me tell you, then. First, one of the rules of professional sport is to press home your advantage. Did you do so? Australia are already here in this country and they woul...
