  1. i think this sums it up nicely stevie, we've all been there and done that at some point in our careers i'm sure, i know i have:blushing:
  2. i thought colne was your yard dave? only joking mate. are you still thinking of having a get together up at your gaff sometime?
  3. thats nastily quick then. i can see why matt still shudders at the thought you could have been in it the night before and that happening. As long as nobody's injured apart from the garage that did the work.
  4. did it take hold quite quickly then ed or were you just in shock at it happening because it looks like you were in the middle of loading/unloading a ranger in the photo?
  5. thanks for putting me straight on that tom.
  6. but have you been bitten to death by horseflies etc?
  7. looks a nicer jobsite compared to your last one Ed, especially with the humidity we've had. bet it was nice and cool under those trees.
  8. have you tried civic trees stevie?
  9. i know the owner of such a dealership stevie, i'll ask him if i can pm you his details.
  10. could that be one of the reasons elm was traditionally used for coffins then, xerxses? i know it was used for ships masts as it was strong and flexed enough that it didn't snap under the tension and torsion of the sails.
  11. :scared1:in all the big hollywood disaster movies they normally play something like "This is the end of the world as we know it..."
  12. the learning centre on there is quite good for diagrams of knots by use.
  13. not really seen any this year in leeds but have seen loads of bees including the big lumbering bumbles. Saw a couple of pine wasps at the yorkshire show:scared1:.
  14. it is the messiah, i should know i've followed a few.
  15. it doesn't half dean!
  16. screwfix sell them but your best bet is just ask any builders if they've got any or go skip diving for them. you could also try hippo bags as the large ones are big enough for a bathtub so will take branches quite easily.
  17. That IS the ag spec!!!!
  18. did you not watch Captain Scarlet as a kid steve? SIG means spectrum is go, a bit like the thunderbirds fab.
  19. s.i.g, steve
  20. you could try lancaster insurance as they are specialists in land rover insurance and advertise in all the land rover mags and auto trader.
  21. wouldn't it be better with souped up mogs and landies?
  22. no but wolf wheels look the mutts and they're steel so can be hammered back into shape if need be thats why the utility lads use them.
  23. being local i go every year and help out the village cricket club as a gate steward for which i get a day ticket in return. Being in the guest area you get to see the stars quite close, saw jack black and his mate having a few beers after they'd performed the night before as tenacious D.
  24. apparently radiohead have written a tribute song to Harry Patch which nicely links the generations i think and shows that there are people who do appreciate what Harry and his generation actually did for us.
