  1. Are you local to reading bundle?
  2. Drunk driver, should have called the police!
  3. That's what I thought when I saw what you had done to your finger! How is it now?
  4. I had borrowed an old escort from a friend and it had been fitted with cheep cheep tyres. I was driving through quite a rural area got a puncture and was in a rush so jumped out to change the wheel. I proceeded to break the nuts before jacking the car, all nuts apart from 1 which was a bit hard, I must of put the wrench in quite a vertical position as when I was jumping on it it went through my trainer in to my foot. The wrenches that came with the escorts had a plastic end so that you could prize off the hub caps but this had gone and the metal which was left tapered in to a point. It happened so quick it didn't really hurt and I pulled my foot off with out realizing what had happened. It took me a few seconds to figure out why my trainer was connected to the wrench then once I realized it started to hurt and I panicked and started swearing. I was in a quite location with a flat, luckily a couple in a house nearby heard me swearing and came out to see what happened. they took me to hospital and changed the tyre for me. That night I woke up in absolute agony and it took a while before I could walk.
  5. I feel for you mate I had a wheel wrench through my foot.
  6. Theres a largeish firm by me that expanded quite quickly and is feeling the pinch. One of the lead climber / team leader is on £80 a day and most of the groung crew are on the arb aprentaship and are being paid £25 per day.

  8. Was there a up date to how that pear responded to the mulching?
  9. What do you think of the audio set mat, is it any good?
  10. Buy a moisture meter from maplins or on the net for about £20, when the logs are delivered split a couple in half then check moisture which should be about 20/25% if he is selling them as seasoned! Lately Ive been at jobs where people have had logs delivered and they have been freshly cut and they have paid top money for them.
  11. What gets me is how people go from overly nice to down right nasty in the instant they dont get the extras. Had a argument with one guy because I woldnt chip his kids old bunk bed once, oh and the guy that wanted to put his fridge freezer on the chip and me take it down the tip.
  12. Ive got a treemotion and love it, the only down side is when the black strech cord gets caught and twangs you on the arse!
  13. Down here most people wait until you turn up to do their job then bring it out when your chipping up! I started telling them i would take a donation but I couldn't believe the amount of people who said they would take it down the tip them selves or drag it up the garden. It really annoys me the crap people bring out for you to chip when your chipping up!
  14. You got that bang on 12 Shrek! I hope every one has a safe and happy year!

  20. My dad has just started agency work at a prision and was informed that most fights break out in the mosque there as large amounts of people can get close together and in the event of a fight staff should take there shoes off before entering to stop the dissturbance. No one does though!!!
  21. It may mean you will need to drain the water out of the fuel filter, I think???

  25. Does the tool locker affect the weight distribution much when loaded with chip?
