I feel like I'm shooting up the town, with the number of upvotes I've been firing away with in the last few days. I can see clearly that the bar has been raised. That said, I admit defeat, as I intend to walk under the bar. It's the path of least resistance, after all. 

Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday.

Myself and my wife were given what looked like a Red Indian axe, from a friend (recently deceased), who was an antiques dealer. So, I have tried to ascertain if it is such an axe, what date it would be, it's value etc etc. To this end I Googled axes etc and the UK.I somehow got in touch with the UK's leading axe thrower. I sent him photos, but he didn't know. However, he sent it to a circle of axe enthusiasts, and they have come back with the suggestion that it may be a Celt axe. Then I got in touch with a University in America that specialized in Red Indian anthropology. Their response was obviously that I was such a buffoon, a monumentally mere trifle, that I shouldn't even be given the courtesy of being answered to. lol

It goes on - about 2 months ago I sent photos of it to Christie's in New York. Why I didn't choose Christie's in London was because of self inflicted neurological damage. Anyway, I've not heard from them either. I heavily suspect that they are too busy laughing! They fucking hate me, the Americans. Bastards!  lol

By the way - my personal view is that the axe is actually an old souvenir. To me, it doesn't look like something to actually be used, other than for the adornment of some wall, or other.

Actually, I've just had a though. Christie's in London is still open to me for 'exploitation'! I think that I might write to their Antiquities Department saying something along the lines of ' Don't ask me where I got it pal, I just know that it must be of value, and I want you to tell me what that value is'?  I will, of course, include this with the letter to them;

PS - They can blow it up themselves to see it's true glory. I need all the breath I can get at the moment. In anycase, it'll save on postage.

PPS - I can feel an ebay purchase coming on!

Hello Vintage,

Apologies, as I have only just got my head around this one. Fan fucking tastic. I've ran out of up votes. I think that I may have run out of brain cells too!

That's such an excellent photo, that I'm going to make a copy and file it. Then I'll robably do something dastardly under copyright laws with it. I mean, I'm happy to pay about a fiver to reproduce it, but haven't got a clue who that fiver would have to go to.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
