  1. how much have you had to spend on it so far alisdair?
  2. i was going to say try screwfix as their bags seem indestructible but i think they're about £12
  3. the prices for the HIE seem to be between £44 and £55 per room per night but that is for a double room with a double sofa bed and either smoking or non-smoking
  4. it aint called ROYAL for nothing
  5. they'd leave you like a three day old lettuce leaf mate just by looking at you with that stare that toffs get when a pleb speaks to them
  6. another thing, holiday inn express tend to be next door to a pub
  7. nah it is about half an hours drive, but all on A roads and motorway depending on which one you use
  8. john they're all horsey women, mere mortal arbworkers like us are just oiks to them. I read about a bunch of students from the ag college trashing a pub by doing £25,000 of damage. No charges brought if i remember rightly, lots of hons and lady's
  9. dean+beer+all blokes=nightmare

  10. can't guarantee it'll be the landy though:001_tongue:
  11. penfold has found two holiday inn express hotels within half an hours landy drive from the site at jct 12 of the m5 and at dunalley street cheltenham, both cheaper than the travel lodge at capel:001_tt1: stevie if you want why not fly down to leeds bradford, i'll pick you up there and drive down.
  12. ok dean, missing two shows in a year! where are you going to get your cctv poleclimbing kicks from? although if its a stag do you'll find one somewhere.

  13. dean, are you off to the aa this year? if so what day are you heading down and whereabouts are you staying?

  14. greentech are selling tordon at £220 + VAT. But i found that broadsword was a bit better at knocking down knotweed and its cheaper £125 for 5l:001_smile:
  15. i seem to remember a spell in chokey can be given if it ends up in front of a crown court:scared1: as well as a hefty fine which i thought went up to about £52,000
  16. you'll need your passport johnny, it's in the foreign parts down south. beyond sheffield
  17. what are these 'girl' things of which you speak, sir? only ever 'known' women.
  18. third time lucky dean, i should find it no probs this time:blushing:
  19. i'm in. need to learn how to use my shiny new hitch climber:001_tt1:
  20. TCD, i can just see the photos of you and your employees being very similar to the victorian estate workers photos you see in country pubs , the ones where you can tell how senior the bloke is by what he's wearing: the land agent in his tweed breeks and stockings and tweed jacket and a derby, the head gardener in his best suit and a bowler with watchchain across the front of his waistcoat right down to the bothy boy in his collarless shirt and waistcoat and clogs. I can also see you tugging your forelock to the customer when they come to check on the work.
  21. beer, beer, shiny things, beer, food , beer:001_tt1: and call AA for a lift home:sad:
  22. frank, i think you might need to bring a lot of batteries because you'll soon run out of juice:001_tt2:
  23. i was told at college that barbisol was good product to use. I think you get it from barbers/hairdressers suppliers.
  24. don't forget the speakers so you can say to them " would you mind returning those logs to the pile you just got them from please?" or words to that effect and watch their reaction:lol:
