Shortly departing to deliver my last chipper to Sheffield. Fence next door succumbed and elderly neighbours right stressed about it so maybe busy doing charitable stuff over the break!
-
Jeez, just looked at this. I reckon I sold this to Synergy, aka Milton Keynes Council some 23 years ago. It was stolen and sprayed white, including over their stickers, then recovered some time later!

I went to see Quo in 82(?). "The End of the Road" tour, as it happened, it was the first ever final tour! Still got a polo shirt from the the night!
-
Bloody windy here! Hope I don't add fence building to list of Xmas Jobs! Off to N Wales to deliver a tracked machine....
-
Whilst making supper last night, I asked Google to play Bat out of Hell. Then reflected that that was a truly epic album but Bat 2 was crap!
-
Too much to do before weekend but I'll try! Debt chasing and farewell dinner today for a valued colleague who has decided to retire. His wit and wisdom shall be missed.

GreenMech do with the hp you have. A CM220 is a right good chipper for the top end and the EC150 suites the bottom end. They both work in any work in any gearbox range and are pretty bomb proof and British nadexahd supported by dealers up and down the land!

The paving slab is heated enough to keep it warm while you fetch bits off. It can be still sizzling! I did ask what it came with and the response in Picaro 1999 was, "chips and small salad if you want them!"

Up and having a go at the Telegraph crossword with a mug of Yorkshire tea!

Knew this Israeli thing wouldn't be good. Oil prices and prices in general will rise as the combat spreads. Shipping avoiding Red Sea already as it escalates!

Just got back from a trip to Alicante and the Missus got me to take her to a couple of Trip Advisor rated steak houses. Wow, they were well worthy of their rating too. Not at all cheap but still worthy of the experience and memories created! Templo was the first and I'd echo the comments on TA. Picaro 1999 was the second, also well worth the expense for the food and experience! Both 45 daynand with a great Tempranillo. Where have you been for a steak that was worthy and memorable?
-
I have checked my Google timeline before now to think, I ain't been anywhere near there!!! As said turn phone right off, leave for two minutes then start up!
-
Never had that bother but heard it is as debilitating as squirts!
-
Eye of a needle from ten paces?
-
Am I first up and ready? Been up for 30 mins too!
-
We are up! A little jaded after some boozing and a top steak and more boozing in Alicante!
-
Got to admit, when I brought albums because of a single, I was usually disappointed! I've handful of albums that I don't fast forward...... I agree with a previous post about some right historic tunes that I like but just get the rest!
-
I never got that New Wave Romantics stuff, just like I can only do a few heavy metal stuff anthems! I listened to some Free and Bad Company and thought that they were uncomplicated but easy on the ear too!
-
Duran Duran and most stuff of that era. Chas n Dave
-
Up and away to Louth to see someone. I lived near there some 50 years back, will be odd to see how many new houses have gone up etc. Wonder if the Chestnut I planted is still by the house! They dug up the airfield of the base that Dad flew in to..... Thank god it is Friday! Off to Alicante tonight to celebrate being 30 again for the second time 😏
-
Perhaps this thread needs a part b, returned from home safe and well too!
-
Up and shortly off for a 3 hour trek north to Newcastle. One chipper to deliver, sold to a chap without a demonstration and then to visit a guy who brought a tracked machine and wants a toolbox tour!
-
Don't really do Mince pies, Christmas cake or Christmas Pudding myself. Can remember being extremely disappointed as a kid to get offered a mince pie and taking a bite to discover that their was no minced meat involved.... Mother makes hundreds of the things and they go to village or church events and are well received.
-
Awake since 5! Done half of the Telegraph crossword and had two mugs of tea already! Off to Boston to meet a man who wants to see a chipper!
-
I see that Heather Mills' vegan food business is going down the tubes and she blames meat eaters for this. Nothing to do with nobody buying her products in the volume she needed for it to survive. Shame for the factory folk etc, but I must ask, if it ain't selling then why make it and blame someone who has no inclination to eat nowt but plants?
