  1. yve_clark, cool avatar!!!! would be better if your avatar, was an avatar:thumbup: given myself an idea......i'll see if i can find one:thumbup1:
  2. personally, cant see the difference in imax 3D and normal 3D to be honest i thought normal 3D was better..............cant go to cinema and watch 2D anymore........it would be like drinking asda cola and not the real thing
  3. its got to be 3D on the big screen...tv just wont cut it story line reminds me of Fern Gully, if anyone has seen that animated film
  4. took my 10 yr old on xmas eve to the IMAX 3D viewing, he was desperate for the toilet half way through and refused to go, he held on to the end and made it to the toilet, when i asked him what he thought of it his answer was the same as hucks.........best film i've ever seen and yes there is something strangely attractive about the alien girl:thumbup:
  5. keep his number on your phone for when he rings back....and he will, usually the following year when he thinks you have forgotten. this is the one single reason that would push me into taking card payments before delivery, just so i could charge for cancellations
  6. yes it can.......................but my sarcasm made me feel soo much better:thumbup: and she didnt get logs for xmas. her politeness would cost nothing!!!!!!!

    Coal

    follow this link, will give you my experince i had with trying it its a very ring fenced affair...... but if you could by the other guys business, it could be different http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/firewood-forum/11040-coal-bags-anyone-got-contacts-prices.html
  8. customer... you sell logs dont you (very abrubt) me... yes, how can i help? c....i want a m3 and have been quoted £55, when can you deliver (very abrubt) me... quoted by whom? c......does'nt matter who...i was quoted £55 me... sorry LUV thats not my price c.....yes it is, my father quoted me the price me... oh sorry LUV, does your dad work for me??? c... No!!! me .... well then Luv, the price is £70 off me, if you want them for £55 then go by them off your dad!!! c.... well, i've never been spoken to so rudely!!! me..... well stay on the line and you can hear some more!!! some people push the limits:sneaky2:
  9. i've seen it work with nice straight oak, quite easily and did'nt jamb up.......if that helps
  10. my answer would have been.......... it may be a difficult concept to grasp, but i SELL quality logs to the public, i will though come and remove those logs you had delivered for £35:sneaky2: some people have some cheek!!!
  11. seems to be jagerbombs all the rage at the mo down here boyos
  12. had this one today customer... hi mate can i come pick up some logs in my trailer? my old supplier has stopped doing them, he charged me £20 for a trailer load. me... not today mate and it will cost alot more than £20 c... its only a small trailer mate...about 1/2 a cubic meter me... for £20 you can have 4 netted bags or half a cube would cost £35 c.... well my old supplier was happy with £20 me... probably why he's not doing it anymore then! customer hung up swearing.....i walked off laughing
  13. dont butterflys only live for a few days???
  14. no, very fresh, must have killed with loader when scooping up from the pile. even his toungue was hanging out
  15. today i did a delivery to a male customer where i had to pull the load off by hand and throw in to a garage, told customer if he wanted it in the garage then he had to help or i'll charge for handling. anyway got half way through load and i pulled out a dead rat, customer saw it and neally threwup everywhere, he turned a little green and walked of to do what he needed to do, all i could do was laugh.... highlight of my week:001_tongue: and yes he did pay me:lol:
  16. ok its december and in 3 days i have seen 3 wasps flying around and today i saw a red admiral flutterby. anyone else seen anything bizare
  17. i think it should've read.... a minimum of 3 months 4 seasons to a year 3 months to a season 3 months in a good summer = dry wood, especially ash sycamore, hawthorn, lime, alder, beech, larch..................but not oak, or poplar. and yes i have dried it in 3 months and yes it was moisture tested to see if it works and they were cut in half you need a lot or space, air flow and sun/heat to work, but will not work if all in one big pile
  18. noooooo, becarefull with that one, it only stacks up to 0.7-0.8 of a M3, they will have you on that. just say its loose tipped volume would fill an area of your above quote:thumbup1:
  19. not many on oil in the city
  20. by the rate wood is NOT going out, i think we aready have killed the market, sales this year are pretty dire, with little repeat custom (mainly new fire installs i'm suppling) alredy looking into ending an era:thumbdown:
  21. good man, but see if you can hire a machine, speedy hire do them quite cheap for the weekend i think, be much easier:thumbup1:
  22. best source a splitter then mate, at £30per ton for rings, (the most time consuming and labour intensive way) i cant see anyone taking them...........except for some sucker on fleabay:lol: good luck:thumbup1:
  23. i'd like to say its a goshawk or lanner falcon, but i think it may be a sparow hawk, i have seen them take pidgeons in our yard
  24. old st'mellons mate. you name it, i've tried it when it comes to firewood production
  25. one of the things you cant buy is time, and you cant change the past. who cares what you do is right or wrong, as long as you 2 enjoy it. teach reading, writting and maths (spelling helps too) the rest is all fun. my boys mum died when he was 5, she was 28, so i have to do it all, i spent more time at work and neglected my son, until one day i realised he was growing up too fast. he is now 10, i make sure i am home most nights to put him to bed, once a week we go to canoe club, where the most coments i get are "does your son ever stop smiling" i wish i could go back in time, but i cant. i just make sure i do what i can in the time i have. my 2 yr old gets spoilt something terrible. i do recommend swimming lessons though, water can be fun when you are confident in it, even just jumping waves at the beach, or the rope swing in a tree over the river good luck stevie, just bear in mind that some kids out there dont even know who thier dads are, let alone spend any time with them if the boys are smiling, then your doing it right
