    Deport their entire families when they get caught. They dont give a toss about the laws of the country they live in,so fluck them off. Once a few of them get binned,the hard word will get spread from those in their own communities to pull their heads in.

    I hadn't heard the sound bite from Thames Television since I was a kid. Really enjoyable watch

    Do you need a giant Compressor for the sandblaster? The local guy is crazy expensive for sand blasting.

    Ceder is pretty light and that stick won't weigh 1 ton per meter. Be happy to be proved wrong though. Be worth a fortune I'd say. Chuck it on Ebay?

    How did the ground get his foot taken? Did he walk on his hands?

    Could you post some pictures please? If they have been pressed on I hope they can be drawn out far enough to be cut off.
  11. Mike Hill
    Just cut them off.

    £35,000 pounds if only you knew the right man at Purdey's. Both worth a foooorrrrrrtune!

    Thats the sad thing. I wonder how many Sparkies and Plumbers still charging rates from 2001? Yup. None.
  15. Mike Hill
    I was talking to a mate in the UK the other night. I asked what his two man rate was? £450 per day! That's the same rate the company I worked for in 2001 charged! You can bet your boots there is a hell of alot more competition there these days too. So yeah,£200 all day every day I think not. The little bit of contract climbing that I did in 2002/2003 in London I charged £150 for a Saturday and £200 for a sunday. That was just meet climbing kit and 020.

    Sorry for commenting on a public forum as a member of the public. What I really ment to say was "if you are worth 200 quid a day you will get that". Now tell me why your not. Thank you. You are welcome.

    Outrageous? Its the market rate that reflects the difficulty or lack of investment in the industry. You don't need to spend huge amounts to set up a company that can do 90% of the work available,nor do you need to hire a topgun climber to do it. The guys who can do the remaining 10% of the work,fast and well get the better bucks.

    It was made for Jensen by Stieber in Germany part number:AL50 48 F3089-1 TV I was quoted £2845 ! It is possible to replace that origninal unit with a solid shaft unit,call around your power train places and see what you find.Has the pulley end failed or the flex unit under the cover that is bolted to the engine?

    Buy a single barrel shotgun with decent wall thickness and make one youself.
  20. Mike Hill
    One that goes all the way from the top to the bottom with about 20 feet to spare.

    This is all the root of the problem If the ports in the Barrel had been made using spark erosion instead of a mechanical drill,then you could use what wads you liked. Barrel ports are correctly made on an angle towards the breech so as not to give a "Cheese grater" effect on a passing projectile. I suppose that Shotgun (looks like a Baikal) will have ports in the barrel all the way to the muzzel and a simple baffel system? If you do a quantity of shooting,you could invest in your own reloading setup and make your own Carts at a much lesser expense. Ebay often has a few shotgun reloading presses for sale and components are cheap as chips.

    Would you be "Spazzing out" over a 150 year old Leylandii ? Same flucking family. Now put your apron back on and make me a Burger.
  23. Mike Hill
    Here is one from a couple of years ago. Big dirty Spruce.
  24. Mike Hill
    Who gives a shit? Its an introduced Weed with the biodiversity of a sheet of A4. Hope someone gets some nice firewood out of it. "Ancient Redwood" my Hairy Arse.
