At a large medical center and so far, I haven't seen anyone being rushed in with missing fingers or limbs. But it's still early and the alcohol fueled explosive celebrations are just getting started.

While the UK is distracted by the welfare reform bill; three bills have gone unnoticed and are heading for the house of lords that truly do strip free expression and freedom of speech in the UK. People often knock Keir Starmer for being an idiot but my opinions have changed recently, he knows what he's doing, whipping up people in a frenzy so other bill can pass unnoticed is stroke of genius.

They are in essense aimed at stripping free speech and expression futher: Third party offence bill: For instance if you are in a pub and a customer stays something that offends a customer or employee; you have to report it. I haven't got around to reading the other bills yet but they are very loose with definitions and open to abuse.

In other news the Global Expression Report, (gauges free countries) has put the UK at 75% in the red! Canada and Australia having a higher score than UK; in the green which is distrubing if you have been following the news.

I hate too do this to a beautiful time piece but needs must as the devil wants. In order to fix one clock, I need spair parts, even for someone with alot of time of their hands I do not have the skills to make parts from scratch and even the clocksmith told me if they were to make them from scratch it would cost up to $1000 to fix a clock I bough for $75. So the only other option is buy another broken down clock for its works and salvage the working parts. Whats left I'll keep aside and restore it when a clock works goes on sale on ebay which is rare these days. For the time being and in order for this pretty case not to go to waste I'll convert it with a modern Quartz movement and restore its mechanical works when I can get the parts to restore it; its also missing a pendulum which is also problem as mantle clock works are rearer than wall clock works and pendulums are matched to the works.
