  1. found a few pics, one of the cars I built, and a bike from my "Mad Max" post apocalyptic era. "The Toecutter,He knows who I am" the old cresta,purple haze 'cos I like hendrix, and the wifes '63 chevy pickup, with a '76 Camaro 350 hp motor.
  2. My apologies Stubby, I had you in mind about the bike thread and put your name instead of GarethM. you are innocent mate. [ unless you live next door to lilylangtree] in which case build yer shed on yer own patch.
  3. so to be accurate and realistic, this has nothing to do with a tree, but a boundary dispute, of which you claim has been verified and he despite your apparent proof of its true location he intends to enter your property and cut your tree down to put a shed on land he doesn't own. how am I doing so far? I'm seeing a further post by GarethM and I'm inclined to agree with him, a solicitor should be your next port of call.
  4. never really thought about pics, wasn't so many cameras like these days, no mobiles, not much internet, photos generally were more in the realms of "evidence" for the case. might have a few kicking about somewhere, I'll try and find some. and yes, I have had a full life, some of the things I have done , looking back were pretty extreme too.
  5. I had an addiction for speed,,, no not that one,, the flat out on a motorcycle or car kinda speed, I had a bike 155mph straight out the factory, after a while became boring, started tuning it got it up to 178mph, then built a car 0-60 2.8secs top end 150mph, it would beat a fireblade off the line, then fitted nitrous oxide, another 100hp, on cheater slicks it would lift the front wheels 2 feet in the air on a launch, mate bought a real projectile of a Porsche, let me have a go in it, 162mph still got a gear to go, another mate built a bike up over the year he got banned for ,,yep you guessed right,, speeding, had it on the road first day of the licence back 212mph through the traps, didn't catch this time ,fold up plate. I have a chipped discovery 2 now, on 35"s goes anywhere ,,in comfort, probably get a ton out of ,never tried. people ask me why did you give up speed? is it 'cos your old,? no, when the fear of death is greater than the thrill of speed. you just change your driving style. that and the wisdom to know everyone has a camera now, even the five o.
  6. but how would the process start, would you expect a government to implement it? is there a party that could even carry out such a task? or should we overthrow the establishment and seize control of the countries finances? seriously though, I think those in charge have too much to lose to even consider such a move.
  7. plus-gas was a good one too, I still have some of the original stuff, wd40 isn't even close .
  8. wd40 is crap these days, I worked in the automotive trade at one time and we often tried various fluids from reps stating all kinds of ridiculous claims their product was the market leader, they were all shite, I've broken a 3foot snap-on bar trying to crack hgv and even land rover wheel nuts, guy from snap-on could not believe it, but told me of a good penetrative solution they use on an american airbase he calls in on, gallon of ATF + gallon of acetone mix together and it will free just about any stuck nut/bolt . and it lasts for ages, just put a little in an oil can with the plunger and dribble a little , you can visible see it penetrating. just remember to give it a good shake before every use as it separates after a while. here's a pretty good article showing a comparison test. Penetrating oil ATF Acetone versus rest - Britbike forum WWW.BRITBIKE.COM
  9. Ok, you have a valid point, how would we as the public proceed to enable that to take place, 'cos I'll wager all those fat cats ain't gonna give it up without a fight.
  10. The same problem arises as it always does, as soon as more money is made available so the bloodsuckers take more from the host and not much in service improvements are noticed.
  11. I thought the boundary position had been verified, the true boundary, not the one he claims. so I'll ask again, how much if any of the tree is protruding over the boundary.
  12. I think you have.
  13. If he is aggressive, it would be prudent to have photographic evidence of that aggression, in video format, I don't blame you for not wanting your location revealed, but nobody has asked for that anyway. the council would be the best to ask about their intentions, regarding this matter don't you think. and please answer me this, if the disputed boundary was reinstated as you say your documentation shows, would any of the tree be over that boundary and encroaching his side of it.
  14. Former Tory MP handed community order for harassing ex-wife NEWS.SKY.COM Katie Wallis, 41, who was known as Jamie while she was in politics before becoming... madness has descended upon the earth.
  15. Doctor and husband jailed for selling stolen hospital PPE on eBay WWW.BBC.CO.UK Dr Attiya Sheikh and her husband Omer Sheikh made almost £8,000 during the...
  16. reducing the ever increasing load might help too, makes little sense building more and more housing and expecting an already inadequate infrastructure to cope with it, it does of course increase consumption which in turn makes fat cats,,, fatter.
  17. you have been politely asked 8 times to contribute a photo or two to assist in people understanding your problem more, surely you have heard of the often used phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words" so far you have ignored those requests.
  18. much like your tedious repetitive posts after you've scoured the internet to discredit the US president, and completely ignoring any questions about just about any other subject, including the total clusterfeck of the current uk government,full of fools, liars and clowns who cant even agree with members of their own party, while the rest of the circus that seem to be making things worse at every turn, and of course everything is the previous parties fault. and I prophesies when the current twats get kicked out they will be back to telling everybody how they almost sorted out the country but were prevented from doing so by others. round and around it goes, and soon everyone will be aware of where it goes. further down the shitter. as I stated previously, the very thing you're so quick to accuse others of committing is often describing your own traits, and yet you overlook that.
  19. you know all these people personally then, which gives you the accurate measure of them? did you not see the large picture of the current pm,, doesn't look like cameron or johnson to me. [He's the cnut on the left, the other one just has a well used cnut]
  20. It's hard to see otherwise, as almost everything else is affected by them, housing, schools, crime, social division, while it can be safely ascertained they may not be the prime cause, they are possibly adding to an existing problem, it even affects the way people vote. and that it seems adds to social division even more, especially when those that voted for change discover it's just the same lies and deceit as before the vote. there are almost 70 million people living in the UK, just two visit a hospital, it's somewhat of a fantasy to suggest that on their visit to just one hospital on one day for a few hours suggests their observations are indicative of the whole country at any time. if you went to the gaza strip and didn't see any bodies you wouldn't assume there was no conflict.
  21. newsflash,,, he's already here.
  22. I looked at that video, I'm wondering if that aluminium handle can be welded, I've seen some miraculous repairs with specialist ally welders, in some cases you would be hard pressed to tell it was ever broken.
