  1. Agreed! Holy lead batman!! Is it just me, but is there something special about women firing big guns in slow motion? jackie brown sequence stuff.
  2. Very flash indeed. But For example under pruning there should be a pic of some pruning rather than a conifer. Is that why your after your own pics, which IMO are better.
  3. Yeah, and I had a shower with three american girls. On the Popes power boat. 20 ft my ayrse
  4. Dean did you ever have a go with a barrat or similar? I watch future wepons on youtube and those rifles never cease to amaze, particularly when shooting through tractor weights at a mile.
  5. You ex services guys needn't have left. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2jdlfmaHuk&feature=related[/ame]
  6. Brilliant. I'd like to know more about the production of shroom petrol. The TED site looks good too, thanks Ed.
  7. http://environment.about.com/od/environmentfriendlyautos/a/new_old_cars.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/2006/feb/28/ethicalmoney.leohickmanonethicalliving seems people disagree. what a surprise.
  8. That video tape sounds priceless. I'm off to see if I can find it on the web machine.
  9. Cheers SWB.
  10. I missed the unit on explosives at college by one year as they stopped it in 1983. Otherwise i would have had some fun with milk churns and stumps. i was quite dissapointed as you can imagine. look at this.. I'd like to make some black powder sometime. has anyone had a go? [ame] [/ame]
  11. I find myself in Scotland every now and again. That is certainly one I'd like to do. Where is it Tim? Looks amazing.
  12. A car that sounds like an insult. Geoff Capes pulled an artic tractor unit didn't he? [ame]http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TWxMestl824[/ame]
  13. Not forgotten at all. Did anyone see the Tim Roth version? rubbish.
  14. Yes that happens. We would take quite a few spare chains for each saw out in the trucks. Replaceing rather than sharpening in the field. often the blunt chains would get forgotten in a tool box rusting away. But with the right chain discipline, its the most efficient way to go. Jamie's point about marking up the bench is spot on. I used to count in my head, which is not ideal. I never use gloves when handling chain, so lots of minor cuts after a mamouth session.
  15. What about at night?
  16. Great vids again Reg. Your is on the way back by the way. Any chance of a secondary camera, to cut to on occasion? Love the statue comment. Superdry.
  17. To compare any film about the Vietnam conflict with Apocalypse now is ridiculous. Apocalypse now is set during the war, but is more than war film. I would go as far as to say it's not a war film at all, more of a cinematic essay on the collective and individual insanity of war. It has a depth and grandeur to equal the writing of Chekhov. The shear scale of Coppola's tour de force work alone makes anything else seem like a TV movie. The film is stacked full of quotable lines that have become as part of our culture as one would hope they would. "Charlie don't surf", " I love the smell of napalm in the morning", "We train men to drop fire on people, but our commanders won't let them write F*ck on their airplanes". The sound design by Walter Murch is astounding. Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro has never bettered the awesome beauty of this film. In Cinematic terms Apocalypse Now is a work of Genius. It is both literary and accessible. I love the work of Oliver Stone, but Platoon despite being a fantastic war film is simply that, a war film.
  18. Neil young for me peaked at Everybody knows this is no-where. From which this song comes. He was a grunge pineer for sure.
  19. I agree that society is sex obsessed though. In a tittilation society, I think solid education is counter to this obsession.
  20. Just in case my ten year old wants to have sex? No not the reason at all, I just think somethings bridge the gap between important and interesting. I think at some point it's important to answer questions posed by our children in a more mature way. I'm not suggestiong a ten year old should have a working knowledge of the Karma sutra. But, particularly young men get a very poor education from their pier group and school. When My son asks how to field strip a Glock 17 or wants to know why the sky is blue, then I will show/tell him. Same goes for Drugs, which hasn't come up yet, but when it does I like to think that I will be able to answer all his questions in a rational and factual way. Not because he wants to do drugs, but because it's important to understand them. How old are your children TCD?
  21. Are you a scout leader?
  22. Well done fella.
  23. Awesome tree for a comp for sure.
  24. Possibly a part time position? With a house thrown in.
