  1. According to the firm that imports aspen into this country, it was developed by an engineer at volvo or saab to reduce the emissions from their cars but was prohibitively expensive in the quantities required as its made from the distillates at the top of the cracking towerat the refinery, so he left there and sold his idea to the forestry market and lo we have aspen 2 and 4 stroke. I've even heard of people buying some 4 stroke for their car to run on leading up to the mot so the emissions are lower:sneaky2:. I think the importers are anglo american oil
  2. there's a couple of hydraulic winches for sale on witham specialist vehicles website, i know one of them is a rotzler so its a damn good make of winch.
  3. Steve, just looked on their website and it says that you can now hire their trailers from portsmouth trailer hire; might be worth a punt?

    chapter 8

    As has already been said having chapter 8 could mean the difference between having a job or popping down to the local dole office every fortnight:thumbdown:. Also if you go for a position at another firm and there are two lads including yourself who have the same amount of experience but the other lad has chapter eight, who would the employer probably choose?
  5. not to mention your hands look like you've been grovelling in the coal bunker when they get hot and sweaty in the timberlands.

  11. when i did a two day course a few years back, the instructor told us that if we were going to do a lot of hedging to get a horsehide mitt as very little penetrates it but you can still use a billhook (yorkshire of course:001_tongue:) with ease and this was from somebody who has done hedging since he left school in the forties.
  12. could be repetitive stress from lifting all those heavy pint glasses:001_tongue: seriously though it could be the physical stress of the job as has been said already; just stop and think what your shoulder goes through in a day.
  13. there are a few round Billericay especially in the ingatestone area as i well know after having to walk to the local and back every night when i worked at Ingatestone hall:sneaky2:.

    6 Nations

    the only things Italy did that helped us was playing mercato at 10 and having a scrum half who was at the best of times useless. Oh well at least my other team won today at croke park by being the better team on the field. (I support Ireland on the grounds that most of my forebears came from Ireland and also they're the only other nation in with a chance of winning the Title) smile

    6 Nations

    does anyone else think that englands performance in the second half could have been better, especially from the replacements. Pitbull's comment about the pushing was quite amusing: "What's the point of this pushing and shoving? If you're going to do something do it properly!" At least the chariot is now rolling sweetly and the leeds rhino's are on the charge as well after beating some unknown welsh team at headingley.
  24. Didn't jeremy clarkson visit a firm in jo'burg that did these when he did jeremy clarkson's motorworld?
  25. In Casino Royale have a look at the car park when bond arrives at the hotel in the carribean, the place is an advert for ford and what was then premier automotive group (LR,Jag, AML and volvo) vehicles.
