  1. 28 posts and no one has mentioned getting into the hedge. I use tall steps if require, i.e. the hedge is to thin to support my weight, but I much prefer climbing inside the hedge.
  2. Nice one!!!! They even swept the street too!!!!!
  3. Just for the record, if you you were working full time as a subbie (who are on higher rates than employees) how can you be better off employed???
  4. Err, no, I think most start out working in a firm with experienced guys, get experience and qualifications and then maybe think about running there own show once the know the job well.
  5. I was an very good cook at school, I often got 10/10 for home economics, I even won the xmas competition at high school. But since getting married almost 25 years ago I've cooked maybe a handful of times when my wifes back went. We have a very old fashioned going on, I earn, she keeps house, I've had breakfast in bed for 24+ years, she has had a fortnight off for the birth of each of our 4 children, my lunch packed and tea on the table at the end of the day. Some think its old fashioned and outrageous, those who think a little deeper see it actually leads to a happy married life and a good balance between two best friends.
  6. Not sure I would want an 11",but my 13" has been faultless
  7. I would buy a used Mac over a new Windows if price was a problem.
  8. Got to disagree there I hated each and ever windows PC I ever owned, they took for ever to come on, would freeze for no apparent reason and got slower and slower, until they were unusable after a couple of years. I love my Mac, it starts instantly and is as fast today as the day I bought it over 5 years ago, its wonderful!!!!!!
  9. Dell are not what they were unfortunately IME, I have spent heavily with them in the past, never again:thumbdown: Mac book airs here, I've had mine for about 5 years and my Mrs has had hers a year or so and they have both been faultless
  10. Tying them to the trunk or throwing a line over and pulling them away from the tree often helps. At least these days the wire is very strong and more likely to pull the barge board of the house than snap. In the past they were a thin twin wire, much like the wire used for door bells, that stuff would snap if you gave it a hard stare.
  11. Many years ago I carefully dismantled a Beech with several BT lines through it, one of the lines was a huge span with tree conveniently supporting the middle of the span, once the tree was just a trunk I lifted the longest line out of the crotch where it was sat and released it, it promptly dropped like a stone, pulling out the single corner brick it had been attached to, the brick hit the floor, pulling the line off wall down to the point where it enter the house downstairs. The brick was covered in cobwebs so had obviously never been motared in correctly. The line remained connected.
  12. Yes UV really breaks down most plastics.
  13. It looked solid enough as it bounced of the telegraph pole!!!!
  14. Does anyone have any experience of kiln drying in bulk bags, I presume they need to be vented bags, but has anyone actually tried using normal bags? Does the heat affect the bags? Any info would be much appreciated
  15. You can do 70 on the Mway, but restricted to 50 and 60 on none Mway roads.
  16. Better make sure you don't hit yourself with it or drop it on a groundie!!!
  17. That may class as a "duel-purpose vehicle".
  18. He may also wonder if avoiding tax is a habit of yours and start digging. I would just pay up and sleep easy.
  19. OK, thats weird, they can do 70 on the Mway, but are restricted on other roads, never knew that. Goods vehicles (not more than 7.5 tonnes maximum laden weight) 30 (48) 50 (80) 60 (96) 70 (112) 60 (96) if articulated or towing a trailer
  20. So an estate car with no rear windows and thus classed as a commercial is restricted? I always thought it was any commercial over 7.5t or towing, same for third/fourth lane on Mway.
  21. Did you go check them all??
  22. You should at least cut the wire, IMO.
