  1. Ah!! yes now you say that, I think I have heard that before. What about the "clowt" bit ???
  2. Said of a poor looking job, "it would look OK, too a blind man on a galloping horse"
  3. Its the month of May, the "clowt" is either clothing or a clod of earth. Some say it means keep your warm clothes on till the end of may. Some say it means don't start digging the garden till may is out.
  4. I have read the thread a few times......................:confused1:what the significance of the van door?????
  5. "Cast not a clowt till may is out."
  6. "If thy does owt for nowt do it foe thy sen or thy mother". "Thy can olas tell a yorkshire man!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but thy can't tell him much!"
  7. Yes I have that problem. In the car with all the family, shouting "thats one of my stumps!" or "I pruned that!." Or "look at those cowboys!" I wish I could say they fain interest, they don't.
  8. You guys need to work harder!!!! I normally fall asleep in the chair after my tea, if our lass whats me to watch a film with her, she makes me a Strong coffee, still fall asleep unless its an interest film. I can sleep in the mog at dinner some days. Only kidding about the working hard bit If your mind is running things over, it docent matter how tiered you are you just cannot sleep.
  9. Just read Steves first post, says "work related" sorry, can I ask you to ignore my second.
  10. It's got ibuprofen in it, which is whats not good for Asama sufferers.
  11. Could be??, stick to the Calpol its a god send too all parents
  12. She is on a 5 day course of Tammy flue, we give her Calpol for the fever, children's nurofen is good, but not for Asama sufferers.
  13. Thanks lads!!! She is doing fine, nasty cough and a high tempter that comes and goes. I'm very relieved that she is doing OK. I'm pleased in a way as, contrary to what people say, if the virus does become more dangerous and return in the Autumn, as happened with the Spanish flue of 1918, she WILL be immune. Your antibodies recognize the mutated virus as it is similar to the earlier one. Thats why this virus is affecting mainly under 14's, many of those older than this will have had an earlier mutation of this virus at some point. I know all this as my mother is an infection control nurse and until recently, when she semi retired, she was the head of infection control in a large general hospital.
  14. Well, looks like my 6 year old daughter has it. She has Asama, so as you can imagine, I'm a little concerned. Used the government website, off to pick up the "Tammy flue".

    How do you "AXE" a tree with a "CHAINSAW":confused1:
  17. Way back when I felled dead Elms and cut them up in shorts and trainers, I was fine. I will sell timber too anyone, what they do with it is their concern. I have had no training, only assessment. IMO, the world has gone training mad.
  18. Thats the one!!! NO NOTCH = NO DIRECTION!!!
  19. Sad day Stevie I like the way you took the pic's next to a grave yard, to add a somber tone. Never mind, you could go buy a cabstar and be a real tree man!! Maybe not
  20. They said the lake was man made, back when timber prices were low.
  21. I know of not ONE case of a rope or harness failing!! Very sad indeed.
