  1. or even assured NUTS. sorry to derail slightly. this sounds a great idea will definitely be talking to someone about this.
  2. the second picture looks like some sort of fritillary but i have been known to be wrong. strange mutterings of taxus from the shadows:001_tongue:
  3. quite amusing watching peoples' reactions to him jumping off the bridge:001_tongue:
  4. ...so you failed to notice the large group of northerners standing round the bigshot and playing with teabags and bits of cremated burger and the peals of laughter.
  5. don't worry three dogs, our crack bigshot marksmen will repulse them at the boundaries of our fair county:wink:, failing that we'll just let them test the zipline with pete's really fast pulley:blink:
  6. and there's always plenty of oil around:001_rolleyes:
  7. you'll be able to follow the cloud of smoke as i'm going down the A1
  8. why do land rovers always break down when you're dressed up to go somewhere smart or when you're trying to impress a girl?
  9. you'll know when i arrive as i'll be the one doing al jolsen impressions after having been under the bonnet on numerous occasions. Unless of course a passing scot in his lovely shiny mog is passing leeds on the A1M so i can slipstream him or even lasso and get a free tow:001_tongue:
  10. it wouldn't really matter if it was the arse of your trouser that got ripped as neither a's or c's will protect your posterior:001_tongue: or had this escaped the notice of our resident trouser anoraks? (eh?)
  11. penfold will be setting off from home with an overnight bag and a toolkit tomorrow morning, should get to the travel lodge about six o clock sunday due to landy. No honestly i'll be there tomorrow evening ready for the invasion of the pied bull.
  12. couple of gallons of petrol liberally applied and a careless match applied:jumping38:
  13. congratulations johnny. I think a couple of jars will be raised at the pied bull tomorrow night.
  14. i thought that might have taken it to four pages:thumbdown: i have never had this problem due to using the stihl filling system:closedeyes:
  15. bump.
  16. just the antidote to the news that booze and fags are going up 2% as from 00.00 on 22 april or is it 23 april?
  17. Stevie, i like your ladder rack on the chipper, nice bit of lateral thinking.
  18. if he does deploy to afghanistan and he ends up in helmand (unlikely but you never know) i know of at least one person he can rely on to immolate the taliban as one of my mates is with the royal artillery and more specifically the grid square removal system (something we nicked off you yanks and improved:001_tongue:). I also have a friend who is a sar pilot but i think he is practically permanenetly based in this country with a few deployments to the falkland islands:thumbdown:. Sorry to hijack the thread mods.
  19. i can vouch for this fact on at least one of baz's 125's as i hired one to do a job, delivered on site at 9 o clock returned to depot by 10.30 as the customer didn't want me to chip as it made a mess on his flower beds which was where we had agreed the chip was going. He wanted me to chip into a dumpy bag and then empty the dumpy bag on the beds:ohmy:. needless to say afew choice words were uttered and i told him to get someone else to finish the job, which cost him twice as much:001_cool:
  20. Too right charlie, a mate of mine who works in london got charged by a squirrel whilst he was doing a tree at the houses of parliament, he clattered it with his 200t and it landed on the chipper feed chute just as the groundie was shoving an armful of brash in:001_tongue: they found the tail stuck to the headboard of the van:saint:
  21. SOP- Standard Operating Procedure. With a lad in the armed forces i would have thought you might have heard him talking about these. Not being nasty to you mate, I've got a few mates who are either in the sandbox, on their way there or just come back. They're always at the back of my mind esp when i'm doing tricky jobs:closedeyes:
  22. being a proud land rover owner does me:001_tt1:
  23. a client of mine who i'm doing a laurel hedge for next week:sneaky2: has used something like this on a lawn which was overshadowed by the dreaded leylandii and the lawn is looking absolutely superb, you wouldn't have thought that the lawn was full of moss for over half its width as there is no sign whatsoever of any moss unless you really dig into the lawn with a spring tine rake. I think this will be going in my armoury against moss. I just wish i had know about this last year before i lost a customer although that was mainly due to the fact that they refused to accept they had a moss problem as when i showed them the moss from in the lawn, they said that isn't moss, it's not spongy enough:scared1:. to them moss is the thick spongy stuff you get on a flat roof not the feathery stuff in your lawn and they were paying £180 pa to somebody else to apply feed weed and mosskiller but he wasn't scarifying so there was a two inch layer of thatch in the lawn, no wonder my mower wasn't cutting properly:mad1:.
  24. alright clever clogs just because you've just passed your cs30 last friday and the assessor thought you were the best candidate.
  25. Glovus glauca AGM 'Town and country'.
