Same here Bob . Must be 14c right now . Good morning everyone .

Alex I think that allowing woman to go around armed,will result in woman being raped at gunpoint,their weapons falling into criminal hands and the UK becoming more lawless. Its not South Africa. The law would have to be rewritten ,you know much more about this than me. Currently all Sec5 has to be approved by the home secretary and for that law to be only applicable to females wouldn't fly. You can dream all you want about it,but its simply all that it will ever be.

I could believe that! Tbh, a Discovery isn't a big thing but, they are capable and powerful! Find a good one and you'll love the brand. Get a bad on on and it could cost plenty but parts are available!

And a rare photo of when the stones first met.

I know there are benefits - and draw backs - but I think the flip side of it is we still need to be busy, have a purpose in life - which most of us on here have some get up and go... but there are others where the get up and go is suffixed by "to the fridge for another breakfast beer"

@Mark_Skyland @PaulTem Thanks both of you for your replies!

😂😂😂😂😂Utter bollocks lad and you know it, why not throw the reverend Jim Jones or David Koresh into the mix, let’s face it some daft bugger brought up Jack the Ripper and Fred West the other day trying to make a point so obviously anything goes however tenuous.

You're right they aren't the same, they do look similar though and I suppose you could make them fit as there is basically no OEM parts available anymore for the 020 AV. Ive only had two in the workshop and that was a good few years ago. I was making one decent saw from the two of them.

Did you ever get any further with this? Mine is arriving on Thursday.

The Monterey pine one is in Dartmoor National Park ...it actually felled itself in slow motion according to witnesses !!!

My wood splitter just stopped working, I run it with a tractor PTO and plug from the cab, the power is coming from the plug to the panel on the wood splitter but that's it, nothing else working, anyone have the same sort of problem,

Are you surprised at the laissez fair attitude from a man who's been using his personality as a contraceptive?

Dunno, there’s plenty of smaller outfits with clunking great rubbish knocking about over there. Forst are selling in Canada I think. So they’ll be cutting diplomatic ties with the UK soon enough!

I have seen it several times in the past . Probably before AI ...

Hi there, I'm looking for some advice on how to get into tree surgery - and if there is any companies looking for new starts in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. I have recently left the Navy, currently working as a grounds maintenance operative. What should be my first step to start working my way towards a qualified tree surgeon. Thank you for your time! Regards Tony

I did manage to aspire to a Gold Star, I very reluctantly sold it to finance a house purchase, biggest regret ever,, relationship went south, house got sold, never again will I trust anything that bleeds for 3 days and don't feckin' die.
