  1. Past hour
  2. Passed by the management! Several times if they live by the Trent!

    Devon style

    I don’t know whether I came to hold this opinion myself or whether the algorithm has nudged me towards it but I am bang into Devon style hedges atm. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1C6tpNca9R/?mibextid=wwXIfr Just look me at that beauty. The promise of what that bank could be in another hundred years. Sublime.
  4. Alright, Oswald Mosley. No. Spot on. The conditioning is working too. Kids are all hyperwoke gaylords. I was in the company of youth today. Moved a mate into a new house, bought from Indians. One of the other helpers (all were younger and probably do normal things like watch television) announced he was going to step outside to vape. I said just do it in the kitchen, it might help suppress the decade of embedded curry odour. The tone that spread through the place! I might as well have whipped a boy with a half full cotton sack. It wasn’t a music hall comedy joke. The place stank of curry. Fuxkkng poofs.
  5. Looks like a jar of piss. Keep it by the front door (Micky Flanagan joke)
  6. Today
  7. Looks like petrol. Smells like petrol. Tastes like… petrol.
  8. More the reason to bring back hanging. No one would miss him and 6 feet of rope only costs about a tenner. Thats PPE CE certified rope mind, some temu rope would cost far less like.
  9. Great thanks, any solvent recommendations? 👍
  10. Put it in an ultrasonic cleaning bath with an overly strong water to solvent ratio and cook on a high heat for about half an hour (if it has a heating element) or use very hot near boiling water. Will come out a dark, uniform alumimium colour. (ps, I know this by mistake whilst finding out how it worked on a carb when it first arived, but genuinely it will give it a decent, near factory finish)
  11. It could be burnt on sap/resin from softwood cutting . How about a thin brass wire brush and some solvent ?
  12. I knew it was someone, thought it was Vodafone, sorry!
  13. And I’ve just checked my e-mail and I could have been picking up the winch backplate today. Phuqsake. Fires. Fires for disorganised people. Fires for estate agents. Fires.
  14. Merged a year or two ago, but Three never had their own genuine network. Existed on parts of Hutchison (Orange) and T-Mobile.
  15. I’ll ask the obvious question then. Why not just chunk it down?
  16. 😂😂 You need the site mystic
  17. I’m bloody drinking it mind. Ten thirty I got to his this morning. Loaded by 11:30. Didn’t get it tipped until nearly 19:00. Just stood round like a spare prick, constantly assured it would be any minute now. Bellends at the new place still had a load of crap in the garage when I left. I hope they die in a fire.
  18. Keep thinking. He. I was listening to Question Time, he was a panelist.
  19. I helped a mate move house today and was paid with a crate of bullshit like this. I can only assume it’s left over from an Ann Summers party.
  20. What was the machine? Not just the engine........we price up for a full service, a chassis service or an engine service, so the customer has a choice. Particularly where cylinder mowers are concerned for example, whereby the customer may just want the cylinder and bottom blade ground (which the average joe doesn't have the equipment or skills to do) but the engine may well be fine, so thats a chassis service only. If you're suggesting that cost you quoted was just to service the engine alone without touching the rest of the machine, and assuming it is an annual preventative maintenance service and not an engine with a load of pre existing issues, then that's steep. Aside from changing the service items, We drop the float bowls and drain any fuel, clean the float bowl out and blow through the jets, but unless there is already an issue with the carb, we wouldn't automatically remove it or fit a carb kit as that is pointless if it's running fine. New plug, engine oil and air filter. Plus fuel filter and oil filter (if fitted) are the service parts we would automatically fit. Governor/choke/throttle mechanisms and lubricated and adjusted as well, which a lot don't do. Then you have rope/recoil inspection and clean out etc etc. A lot more than an oil change and a wipe over with an oily rag. And a lot more than your garage does nowadays on modern cars, which are just plug and play, with maybe an oil and filter change thrown it, sure for maybe less money, but they proportionately are actually doing less for them money paid...ask them to do what we do on these small engine, but on your car and watch the size of the bill you get! Had a guy said same to me the other week....'my BMW service was only £10 less than what you've charge for my mower' I said, but what did they do as part of the service? He went and got his bill out the car....they charged him an hours labour of £95 PLUS VAT, plus £45 oil, and £25 for a filter....plus a downloaded plug in health report...that was it, so it really irks me when people come out with that old chestnut. Compare like for like....same labour, same parts etc. Our Labour would be to do that Honda engine service would be around 1.5 hours @ £55 per hour.
  21. He !!! Or I !!!, well there are two people in the picture of the post preceding yours. You have just named them both 🤷‍♂️
  22. I didnt know that was how it worked in Europe, seems very logical. Im on vodaphone and its complete garbage, crappy signal and 5G is more or less non excitant. I might look into going back to EE, the reason I left them as the monthly charge doubled for excising customers but was cheaper for new customers! Thats only if I verify my age on pornhub to make it worth the extra cost like.
  23. All phones will eventually be soil. I’m thinking of making an early start. Fhuck all this fhucking nonsense.
  24. I would have thought that we can criticise whoever we want without having to criticise others first to make it valid, surely its not a requisite for not being a hypocrite? I thought Biden was loosing it and he should have stepped down well before he did. Anyway, your an ex army bloke, what do you make of Trumps latest statement about NATO troops. There are a lot veterans and veterans families fairly mad at Trump to say the least.
  25. As they are expected to fall out of orbit after 5-7 years I wonder what the refresh rate will be.
  26. Outside thanks
  27. Do you mean on the out side on the cooling fins or on the inside of the bore ?
