  1. Past hour
  2. I fancy that for Christmas! Hours of fun! ’Oh no, not another cock and balls!’
  3. 20p a pint for Hooky when I first drank
  4. Yes but needs grass that has been managed short.
  5. Today
  6. I remember the late naughties when spoons were doing reason busters and it was 99p a pint, ruddles county was order of the day for my self. Haven't been in there for a 5 years or so, literally stank of shite when I last went in, I thought this is an absolute dive so haven't been back, if me mates are heading that way after cycling I'll just go home instead! Minehead btw incase you want to avoid it.
  7. Vortex strimmer cord is the stuff to use, lovely finish on short grass. Practice like other's have said. Flymo maybe quicker.
  8. It has its positives for sure, now even Billy-no-mates can play Pictionary. Sadly, this isn't fake. Take some time to think about it.

    Beer prices?

    Where they don't give you a full pint, always ask them to top it up to the line or brim, those small amounts over 800 pubs = big profits

    Beer prices?

    Topical thread. Went out for a mates birthday last night. Didn’t join the table to eat (thankfully). so ordered a round. One pint of London pride, large glass of red wine and an alcohol free beer. 21 ****************ing quid.
  12. Well I doubt it’s going to heal itself.
  13. 32 times artificial intelligence got it catastrophically wrong | Live Science WWW.LIVESCIENCE.COM From chatbots giving truly terrible medical advice to facial recognition software... fecking bring it on.
  14. Use one of the finer filament cords with sharp edges, star/square profile rather than round, creates a cleaner finish. I would be going down the professional battery trimmer route for cutting neat grass on slopes.

    Beer prices?

    Because they have 800 venues and a huge distribution network. Therefore they can order kegs in huge volumes and be guaranteed to shift them, thus they get them at massively discounted rates. your local village pub orders one barrel a week through a distributor aka a middleman, so gets charged their cut aswell. If it’s not through a distributor they get tied into a contract with one supplier, who might give them £10k cash upfront and some branded furniture. But then they can only order from them, at inflated prices. £5/6 a pint once they’ve bought the barrel and paid someone to pour it, is them making 10/20p per pint profit if their lucky.

  17. And a decent full style harness, not one of those luggage strap types. But yeah, practice.

  19. Thanks for sharing that. I’ve looked at a few of those SZ130 chippers and always wondered how they’d hold up long term. The tracks and self-propel feature sound nice for rough ground, but yeah, the reliability can be hit or miss. Curious to see how it performs after a few months of real use.

  23. Hi, so my strimmer is a heavy duty strimmer / brushcutter. Bit i am taking on a new contract which has dmall grass areas on a steep undulating slope. Only way to keep it short is to use a strimmer. But my big 'bump head' one isn't good for cutting short grass neatly. Anyone experience of cutting grass short using a strimmer?
  24. Good Morning Pompey bound. Have fun.

    Beer prices?

    Yes, late 90's in Cardiff Brains SA was the best choice. Started having a beer after starting work. Friday lunchtime when as the "boy" I was the beer bitch. Getting beers and delivering to tables. Charingtons IPA was around 38p I seem to remember. Sam Smiths Best bitter (in Richmond Surrey) was in the 40's. I remember later in the 80's when the price of IPA went over 50p there was protest. No longer 2 pints for a Quid. If those lads were around today!
  26. Brains was 1/10d when I first went to Wales, it tasted like vinegar to me after the sweet (and stronger) bitters here, but I soon got used to it.
