No no don’t forget he’s escaping persecution, like the gang who did 50million plus with benefit fraud recently.

Yes you can, I have been doing this with my tractor batteries. I think it is wise to put a germanium diode in one leg to each battery then in one is duff it doesn't discharge the rest, with most chargers putting out 13.5 to 14V the loss of 0.4V isn't significant. I had been using a 50W solar panel and very cheap charge controller I was fixing, it was very good until the owner collected it. A year ago I was given three 12 year old solar panels. I have one rigged up by my niece's stables to run the electric fencer using old batteries and a good 15 quid charge controller, even though it has been shaded by trees in this sunny weather , it managed 20Wh which is plenty enough to overcome the self discharge of several batteries.It does better when slightly overcast but when the sun is above the trees it puts out 90W even though it is vertical, A lady down the road has a Merc she seldom uses, I have to jump start it occasionally, she has now bought a 6.5 Amp intelligent charger which seems excellent. I can get details if you like.

Kubota offer a water cooled 57hp petrol engine. Believe it uses the diesel block. Very "automotive" like in its design.

Burning a lot of it at the moment. It's fun identifying the different species and I'm almost tempted to ration it as it's so good.

forget religion, it'll cause nothing but nothing but feckin' trouble, and never vote feckin' labour! and stop invading other countries, or one day some bunch of lawless raping cnuts will likely do the same to you.

No replies to this as anyone that tried it has had a fall from height.

Mild morning down here, only got a small branch to take out today and then fixing quad and prepping pick up for MOT. Take it easy

Is it this, for 28 quid? Edit, nope it is not..sorry. The review is not good..

Mate of mine had the original picture disc. The vinyl was softer and we wore it out.

Here is a better picture

The Ukraine had also been expecting another invasion since the Russians took Crimea - they have even had chance to write it into law not to concede land to them (something like that), Venezuela were taken a bit by surprise.

Warning, you may be cancelled or even spend two years in jail for posting photos of snow! It doesn't fit the political narrative of children never being able to see snow again after 2012, and the net zero agenda because of warming

Well thank goodness I have a “ vanity van” crew cab 4x4. That’s the daughter stuck in Aberdeen no trains no buses due to the snow up here. Not looking forward to trying to get in from Turriff. Not sure what the council is playing at but no sight of any gritters or ploughs, local farmers are keeping the roads open. Hopefully the public sector bods make an appearance tomorrow after their holidays.

No potatoes could be controversial.... Other half would probably have done carrots instead, apparently they are really the same... am not convinced by that though. Good idea though, I'll put that on the plan to eat in February I think.

Definitely TPO and not conservation area? Customers often mix these up ime so you need to check yourself. If just conservation area then low amenity value is important and they may allow removal. On the other hand, if it's already got a TPO then it's been deemed to have amenity value as part of that assessment, so it's too late to start saying it has none. As Mick says they're unlikely to allow removal unless it's defective. There's an estate near us built on what was originally farmland where they TPO'd every decent tree before packing in the houses, so you can plot the decline of the large lime and sycamores over the last 15 years from the TPO applications. My customer has a huge sycamore in a tiny garden, which she and her neighbours all hate due to constantly having to pull up seedlings, needs re-reducing every 3 years to keep it off buildings as the rot pockets get bigger, but they won't let her remove it. Eventually it'll fall to bits but she'll probably have moved by then.

Poor Lucy worked for Richard and died if cancer the other year. Decent folk, find memories of then all...
