  1. many years ago I had a good friend,a workmate both on tools, and on doors, a larger than life character, massive giant of a man,strong as an ox, loved life,friends,music, had a sense of humor about every aspect of the world, got told he would not see 40 due to terminal illness , he passed at 37, he was still telling jokes 10 hours before he slipped away. I guess a little of his persona rubbed off onto those that worked with him. I'm 72, my humor is still present, my memory,,, not so much
  2. can you pm me a few pics please.
  3. Never had a dog who fecked me over, never had a dog who fecked off with a so called mate, never had a dog that gave me a hard time 'cos I spoke to or stroked another dog. never had a dog that crashed the car, or moved my stuff and then denied it. never had a dog that moaned 'cos I stayed to finish a job. I'll take the company of a dog any day,all day, shut your dog and your girlfriend in the boot of the car, come back 4 hours later and open the boot,, see which one is pleased to see you.
  4. Any of you fellas got a 2100 lying around, I need a fuel tank, front av mount complete with bracket, ,[a2101 would fit] I'll take parts or a blown up ,seized complete saw if it has some usable parts. cash waiting. TIA.
  5. Illegal Migration Bill: overarching factsheet - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK well it all looked good on paper! I wonder what went wrong?
  6. I like my chinstrap to stop the helmet from falling off my head in normal movement, but not so secure that it wrenches my neck if I catch it on something. I have to say I used to hate wearing it at first, but a swipe from a bough soon changes yer outlook.
  7. There is more than just one poster on here that could be classed as having an obsession about another individual, and more than one poster fanning the flame to keep the fire going.any of you could ignore, scroll on, or just keep on fueling that furnace.
  8. I have a modern example of that, very useful, and less effort for me in my old age to use than the usual type.
  9. I would imagine that's as difficult as trying to sew a button on a fart.
  10. That's more like it I likes the big-gun on the right.

  13. I seriously considered replacing my old battle scarred Zetor 6748 fitted with, winch,crane,loader,forks,and anything else euro 8, with one of these just because the old Zetor was a bit overkill for just pottering around the yard and close proximity, initially it looked good but after a while issues such as mentioned here started to surface and I decided the old zetor was a more reliable bet, so I kept it and bought a garden tractor with a tow hitch instead, just for moving smaller gear around. I can mend both of those without a laptop plugged into them.
  14. hell yeah,, Ima gonna suggest it to Nigel right now.
  15. what kind of sick cnut feels it necessary to torture their ****************in' food.
  16. not for the feckin' goose it ain't.
  17. What do NHS workers say are the biggest problems with the health service? | YouGov YOUGOV.CO.UK 86% of NHS staff see the service as being in a weak state, with just 38% expecting the... various opinions about both labor and Tories, I wonder how reform will fare if or when they have the reins.
  18. reminds me of something that happened many years back now, 3 of us were having a Jamesons with a dear old friend, reminiscing old tales,as you do, and in the next room absolute mayhem and chaos going on with his two young sons, suddenly,, deathly silence,, "what have you done? you had better not have broken something" says the father Cletus, [yes that's his real name] "nothing da" comes the reply along with a fair amount of giggling and mumbling, "well you broke some thing, I heard the crash and it's gone quiet, show me" "ok" Youngest appears in the doorway holding an electric fire, "It looks alright to me, wheres your brother" "on the other end da" "well come here both of you and sit and be quiet for a while" more mumbling,, and they slowly walk into the room,, the other brother has the fires 3 pin 13 amp plug embedded firmly in his head, !! Cletus gets up, walks over and calmly pulls the offending plug from the boys head,almost lifting him from the sofa, and says "now stop clowning around in the house before someone gets hurt" that was 30 odd years ago, it took a week or more before I could tell the tale without cracking up into hysterical fits of laughter.
  19. sorry but that surprised me carefully hidden within the post, I had to spit me Guinness back into the glass to prevent choking.
