  1. I had a tawny owl nest in my chimney, the pointing is so bad it was able to get into a redundant flue through the side. Re-pointing this year so I'll have to make them a box for next year.
  2. I spank you **** Talk to BT, I have a broadband VOIP line with a dedicated number, so my broadband number starts 05 but it is disguised as an edinburgh number 0131. I also have a borders one as my area code is east lothian. they all go to the same phone.
  3. The last few from yesterday:
  4. Steer clear mate, if someone quobbles about 20p on a phone call, you don't want their custom. 0800's are for companies where a long call may be involved, insurance or customer care for example. Also having a LOCAL number is vital IME, I have three numbers one for each of the areas we cover, depending on where I advertise I put the right number on.
  5. I have a friend who goes out there to work for them once a year for a few weeks, he says they're ok, good climbers who are competetive.
  6. looks great Josh. Who's the guy on the right with the 2 blondes, I think I recognise him from somewhere.
  7. These are surprisingly tough, I have two, the shoulder straps eventually went on both of them, but its not like you carry them far normally. and they are well cheap. Clarke CHT421 - 24" Tool Bag - Machine Mart

  13. beleive it or not it wouldn't fell in any direction without breaking something plus we'd have had to clear it up, this was just left where it fell, the stem was left as a monolith too.
