  1. you're going to need to sharpen that chain mike.
  2. there's still a forestry section at countryside live in october, ian but it is minute compared to what it used to be.
  3. when at a trade show make sure the beer tent is close to a demo area or the main arena where welshmen with chainsaws are racing each other. eat as many greasy bacon sandwichs as you can and then get into a d reg land rover and drive to leeds from middlesex:001_tongue:
  4. northern tool and equipment sell biodiesel processors.
  5. try the defender centre on Land Rover Defenders quality used land rover 90, 110 and 130 models. they get rid of ex mod and utility landies including commercial 110 station wagons- 6 seats and a secure load area, a lot of AA ones of these coming up for sale i should think as they are replacing them with vivaro's:confused1:.
  6. it'd only be a snack size pie though wouldn't it andy?
  7. don't you mean elevenses?
  8. they'd come under puwer wouldn't they, bob?
  9. well at least Australia are out now; they got a proper slating in our press.
  10. penfold

    Ricochet

    if you think that's scary type in 1 million rounds per minute gun or look at the little thumbnails underneath that; now that is
  11. not classical in the true sense of the word but, and i'm sure any of the lads on here who are ex-forces will agree, Highland Cathedral always seems to attract that gust of wind that blows a bit of grit into your eye especially when it's played by a lone piper and military band.
  12. ask at the test centre might be your best bet. Mnay a thread has been started on this subject on here and i don't think anybody actually knows the real answer even the DSA or VOSA.
  13. as the gaffer would say " D'ya like that?"
  14. I had a hand held echo blower/vac which got nicked and was horrendous for vibes. I replaced it with a stihl BR600.
  15. i think he inspires the harness designers at weaver or whillans:001_tongue:
  16. mick how about gabriel's oboe from The Mission- cracking piece of music. I found a piece of music which sums up war even better than barber's adagio for strings- Sergeant Mackenzie which appears in When we were soldiers. i defy anybody not to have the hairs on the back of their neck standing on end.
  17. some real ales don't make brilliant shandy, seems to be only the southern ones that make a nice shandy:001_tongue: apart from Old peculier which makes an absolutely belting shandy on a really hot summers day as it is a bit on the heavy side for a hot day:thumbdown: but thats the only drawback.
  18. he did say there was camping frank but he failed to say was that for anyone north of watford gap it's the uk border agency camp in kent:001_tongue:
  19. unfortunately i will be at the leeds festival consuming obscene amounts of alcohol and listening to some great bands and some possibly great bands in the unsigned tent.
  20. this is probably one of the closest polls i've ever seen on here.
  21. just looked at the spiderlift site. that 12t arcade looks a handy piece of kit and it is rated for outdoor use as well as indoor.
  22. TCD, to go down the fictitious character route it would have to be Richard Sharpe of the 95th rifles- born the son of a whore, raised in a foundling home, became a murderer (ironically this happened not far from me in Wetherby), joined the army as a private and worked, or should that be killed,his way up to Lt-Col and probably made more enemies on his own side doing it but didn't care. But a real person from the same era would be The Peer himself, the Duke of Wellington a great leader of men by being so detached and disparaging of them by calling them the scum of the earth, they fought harder to gain his approval.
  23. it would have to be Douglas Bader, doesn't matter what problems you've got, you can overcome them to achieve your goals; he definitely lived up to the RAF's motto Per Ardua Ad Astra- through hardship to the stars. Socially though it would have to be Dick winters' fellow officer 'buck' compton who was friends with officers and men alike.
  24. nick, you could try british military fitness, basically you get streamed according to your level of fitness and the best thing is they are usually in a local park so plenty of fresh air and changing scenery instead of staring at a mirror or tv screen:thumbdown: best bet would be to google it.
  25. when i did my NC at houghall in 98/99 we had a couple of lads on the new deal who were at least 20 stone and they were like bloody monkeys round the tree:scared1: Just goes to show just cos a blokie is a touch on the large side doesn't mean he won't be able to do the work. just my tuppence worth and as a few of you know i'm no slim jim but then again i'm not the quickest climber:blushing:
