  1. Whatever happened to this Mog?
  2. It will be able to lift a large bag, full of cash, to the value of the crane. As soon as you add the VAT though, no go..! The crane just doesn't want to know. :001_tt2:
  3. Bob, I have the ochsenkopf. Never used the Gransfors. Andy had one at the show but I didn't want to tarnish my hands by using it. Andy seemed to like it though.
  4. Justin got one for me Bob. I think he ordered it in though. Not seen them in the shop.
  5. I think the rules should be to chuck the axe so it sticks in a lump of wood from a distance. Closer to the middle of the wood the better. KIS.
  6. No Mark, I only won the battle of the North East because... A - Teesside is better than Northumbria. B - I was more hungover than you. C - You deserved the humiliation as penance for spending your hard earned to get the train up North to See Bruce Springsteen at the Stadium of Sh... :001_tt2: I'd be up for it Andy.
  7. I can speel it aswell Liam.
  8. I am most like someone from Thailand. Not seen many 6'4", 87 kilo Thais around though...?
  9. Tea and Snickers...
  10. Jon, the OBC read 31.?? but I havent reset for quite a while and it is a mixture of driving. More to point, I used to get well over 500 miles per tank at one point. best was about 540 IIRC. Now I am lucky to get 450. I was more astonished that the Nissan Tech's didnt have a scooby when I asked them if they reset the ECU. They have had it in twice now since xmas. I have asked them both times to check the MPG. The fella came out today and said it is 31.?? MPG you just have to press the Status button and it tells you. Monkey see, Monkey Do!!! The reason it was in this time was a fox chewed through the ABS Sensor cable on the nearside rear. 350 to replace - OUCH!. I was a bit sceptical so asked to see the bite marks. I was in work clobber so got on the deck and crawled under the truck to have a look. A technician came over and said can I help you - so I told him what I was doing, he said OK got on the truck, Started the engine and tried to move it with me still under it! WTF! So I shouted at him and then when he was manouvering it onto the ramps he reversed it into a pillar. How Speshul is that? There were 2 other technicians and myself shouting at him, plus a reverse camera! IDIOT!
  11. Hello mate, you still getting good MPG from the NAV? I have had mine in the workshop for the last few days. I mentioned the reset and my presently bad MPG. They had no idea what I was on about and looked at me like I was from Ulan Bator and speaking in Mongolian.
  12. Only 2 h 40 mins left. Wonder who will be the lucky winner?
  13. Justin I think. I used to have the one with a secateur pouch build into the side when I used a Zubat.
  14. Never been to Benidorm mate. I have spent quite a lot of time in the alps though and the winters usually entertain the 6 nations. The anti English stance is quite apparent. When I questioned a few of my Scottish mates about this they said they hated the English...! So I asked other hated me and the others who hailed from south of the border? Answer was no to the individuals but they still stated thy hated the English nation. I found this answer to be pretty narrow minded TBH. Hate is a very strong word. I could say I had similar experiences in the states and Asia.
  15. I am on my 3rd pair, The first 2 pairs lasted about 2 years each. Never had a leak, except on their last legs of my first pair that the sole wore down so much, I pulled the toe cap.
  16. I can only speak from my experience. I wouldn't have written such a statement if it was untrue. I loved it when the Scottish ladies were hurling their way through the winter Olympics. I love seeing the Welsh RFU team do well as it means so much to their heritage. When the Rep of Ireland do well in International footie tournaments it is awesome. Whenever I have been in foreign countries and watched England play in whatever sport it seems the other Nationalities of the B Isles are there to shoot them down. Sad but true IME.
  17. The tears are on the pitch, its all over now! Never mind.
  18. Aaahha, yes you at probably correct but I was 5 or 10 years stupider then.
  19. I am at my fittest at the time of writing. Mind you i would have written exactly the same 5 or 10 years ago. It's all in the head.
  20. Honestly, I really enjoy seeing Scottish and Welsh or Irish teams doing well in whatever sports. What really gets on my tits though is that a lot of the population of the aforementioned countries love to see England fail... With this in mind I am supporting Switzerland. Go on Federer!
  21. Put myself through college. Worked for a few companies over the early years. Set myself up freelance about 7 years ago. So you could say it was my own hard work.
  22. DOH!, Me being dozy, I reckon the rains washed a few of the remaining brain cells away. A 30 metre rope would allow for 30 metre trees or 29 metre, allowing 1 metre for the running bowline. It was meant to be tongue in cheek as Old Mill Trees seems to be a bit evangelical about the RW. I have a couple of 45 ish metre ropes and a 20 which seems to suit the work I get. Seem to be using the 45 metre Tachyon a lot lately.
  23. I was half expecting you to say to buy a 30 metre rope, rope wrench and climb srt so it'll be good for 60 metre trees.
  24. I worked, got very wet, got the job done and went home. Northern Grit in the land of the south.
