  1. £350 for a full load, (10 tonnes ish) I'll deliver to Yorkshire, but I think the haulage may kill it for you!
  2. Got a load or so of plane available if anyone's interested, around 10 tonnes, delivered to anywhere around cambridgeshire.
  3. More importantly, can anyone find the caps lock on your keyboard?
  4. Another pair of eyebolts in the middle would solve that problem, if it is a problem.
  5. I'm talking about a fairly shallow arch, mine was only about 10 inches higher in the middle, and it was still possible to stand on it, plus it shed rainwater.
  6. The roof on my ply chip box was really thin ply, i think 6mm. It worked because i bent it up in an arch, and then used struts to tie the two sides of the chip box together. I bet you could do the same in steel and it would be very strong and fairly lightweight.
  7. They do exist, but things are usually done much more informally, ie you establish a working relationship with a firm, the boss rings you at 10pm and asks if you can come in tomorrow and chip a big pile of hawthorne in a muddy field, and then you dont hear from him again for 3 weeks, when it happens again. Of course, if you are lucky, you find a firm or firms who give you more notice and regular work.
  8. My old transit crewcab, with the ply sides, average amount of tools, two men and one dog weighed 2650kg. My new truck weighs 7600 kg empty, but thats another story.....

    Discworld

    Yup, read them all, including the Tiffany Aching set. The later books are completely different to the early ones, all good though.

    Cod liver oil

    I'm sure you'd be able to choke it down if you added a little cement to each dose.....
  11. Perhaps you should start a new thread for that paticular poll. Polls are very popular these days, everyone's doing it!
  12. Nice pics, although I have to say that the standard of your thread titles is definetely slipping. You could have had Fungi, Fractures, and Feathered Friends, or even F,F, and Falco tinnunculus if you wanted to be a real swot!
  13. http://www.mytreelessons.com/images/Distel.png Easy peasy
  14. The positioner is good, but the Trango Cinch is better.
  15. Send em to me mate, i'll scan them, burn them to a cd, and post them back. I bet you'll still get them posted first!
  16. Or maybe still in the box brownie?
  17. Yes and yes. Try a distel or helical, nice and smooth, not too much sit back.
  18. Congratulations Ross, hope it works out well for you.
  19. Yes, I bet it ended up in the river too. Wonder what they did with the brash pile? Dynamite springs to mind!
  20. True, thats why I wear gloves. TBH iv cut myself with a silky more times than I care to count, and the average silky blade is surely going to be teeming with microscopic nasties. Personally I think bacteria in bio oil is probably the least of your worries with regard to getting infections in cuts. The brash that inflicted the cuts in the first place that was covered in bugs and bird excrement is probably more of a concern.
  21. I get adverts for apartments in Monte Carlo, classic Aston Martins, and special deals on Walther handguns. I guess they really do tailor those ads to suit the individual!
  22. Bio oil is capable of growing bacteria, so a cut from a chainsaw with bio oil will be treated differently to a cut from a chainsaw using mineral. I dont plan on cutting myself with either, so its not a big issue for me.
  23. Spot on thanks, its that black and green stuff, teufelberger?
  24. Used that one this morning to splice up my new lanyard!
