  1. A tree fossil? Looks nice though whatever it is.
  2. Can Danish oil be used too as I thought that was food safe?
  3. Your living in the past, stop living in the past Marge. I understand your meaning but many people life in some dire 'means' they need to expand and move out and up. Things were bad in the past, lets not forget that.
  4. I think VAT dates back to smuggling, pirates, rum and loot. It should really be loads of fun. Although it all boils down to 3 of these blokes [ATTACH]73777[/ATTACH] chasing Mr B for 96p. Money well spent Mr B, money well spent.
  5. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAWcs5H-qgQ]Ed Sheeran - The A Team (Official Music Video) OUT NOW! - YouTube[/ame]
  6. It was staring me in the face all the time!! Just takes a genius to explain it in plain Spanglish. So why then does Mrs Smith pay the VAT man to have her conifers trimmed?
  7. Cheers for the info.
  8. Looks excellent. Is the finish on the pestle just from sanding or have you done something else to it?
  9. Doesnt that mean that everyone gets charged extra? It would be far better if they scrapped VAT altogether. Theres is no way I add any value to my customers trees. In fact can anyone explain what the real reason is behind VAT as apart from just another tax I dont see what its for.
  10. I know there is an android app that uses the same principal to measure heights. In fact there are quite a few so I would assume there is onefor the iphone already out there. Just look for something like 'smart tools' or 'advanced ruler pro' Not saying it still wouldnt sell though.
  11. I advise that if you buy the ali gekos get the ones with the leather strap at the bottom not the velco one. Haven't used the leather strap style but it HAS to be better than the velco as it is total garbage! They seem nice spikes other than that although I think the spikes are made of fairly soft metal as they go blunt quite quickly.
  12. I'm thinking along the lines that since they demo'd it nearly twelve months ago and it's still not available there must have been some major problems with the saw. Which can't be good!
  13. Have husky given up on this saw or what?!
  14. A legend in your own lunchtime?! Seriously though, do you run with the cord or something?
  15. [ATTACH]73250[/ATTACH] No one can out do Fatima!!
  16. Getting the equipment is the easy bit, getting the paying customers is another!
  17. Tbh I would of given a price and ask who was paying before I put the phone down. Does the owner and the RSPCA think you were doing it for free?
  18. You 100% sure thats how they will see it? 21K is not a high earner. I pay lots of tax and atm lenders want to know the ins and outs of my arse before they will lend me any money and I have never been over drawn, have a great credit scoring and untold limits on cards I have no debt on. Honestly, listening to the people who have been in this situation its not good. I only speak from their experience and mine while I witnessed it. Making people pay for education is not good, no matter how its sugar coated. It only helps to divide, nothing more. Besides if high achievers earn more they will pay more tax! ie pay for their education so whats the problem. Just kick out the uni wasters which, from MY experience is the middle class idiots.
  19. I could do the same! Im probably not explaining it well enough.
  20. The big problem is they will be in debt. That is what future lenders will see it as. The fact that 60% wont pay it back is also a big concern! My missus who has a degree and a masters and is working on a PHD said if this was facing her today she would seriously consider not going to uni. I use her as an example as she comes from a poor background and has really worked her way up the academic ladder. She knows more about the way it works than most of us. This is not a good move for the poorer community. "You need to speculate to accumulate" Thats also what gambling addicts say. Some will win but many dont. I could invest 50K of debt in my business tomorrow but I know it will not help me in the long run atm, thats with my experience in my business, 18 year old kids dont have that info. In 5 years time there will be a lot of kids with big debt problems, that is for sure.
  21. I'm surprised it only took 3 hours to set that all up. Although it didnt say how many men it took. Excellent vid and interesting watching.
  22. It does make you think! Grass, the highest being of all!
  23. Surely that s not a good thing! Correct me if im wrong, but im under the impression that we got into this big mess because of lending/borrowing. Is it a good idea to get students into more and more debt just on the promise they can pay it back in the future when they have more money?! Some of them will be coming out of uni with 40K+ worth's of debt, how is that going to effect them in the future? Will they be able to get a business loan to start up? Will they be able to get a mortgage? It's not a good idea IMO. They are still very young adults making tough decisions on getting into MAJOR debt. Many wont make that jump, and it will probably be the most sensible ones. I know a lot will say how hard life is, and they made that decision and it worked out fine but im sure you know loads of people speak BS. But then the cons dont really care as its not their crowd with debt problems. Its a downwards spiral for public education, as expected.
  24. Im sure it was evolution that they were researching but like a lot of things they could have been wrong. Speak for yourself!! Blame mother nature she created us therefore its her fault. Its not only humans that destroy the planet. I remember another documentry() this one by Sir David attenborough, so its gotta be true! Anyway, a bit of it was about elephants, it was saying how they knock down trees so the grass can grow better which they then eat, ie they destroy a good bit of stuff and dont really care as its just for their own gain etc etc. So elephants the first farmers, giving inspiration to man. But, hold on, before you book a one way ticket to Africa and break out the elephant gun or blunderbuss if you feel more eloquent, its not all the elephants fault, apparently. He(SDA) reckons that its the grass's fault, rather than the elephant controlling its environment maybe the grass being tasty to the elephant has controlled the elephant to eradicate all competition therefore its in charge and the elephant a mere pawn. So, the common or garden grass could be responsible for a lot more environmental damage than we care to imagine. Look what we do to make way for it! So my boring ramblings only mean only this, we aren't that bad, besides an asteroid could reign supreme at any moment.
  25. Would of easily been picked up with an aerial inspection and tbh I would be surprised if you couldnt have seen the problem from the floor. Good to see no one injured which is the main thing. Second only to you getting some work out of it.
