  1. A dog is as good as it`s owner! It takes many years to train any dog to obey all comands all the time. I have 2 dogs one is a german shepherd and the other a springer spaniel , both are obedient and i have never had any trouble woth the kids jumping on them or pulling thier tails, but again the kids also have to learn that a dog feels pain and should never be encouraged to hurt them or pester them for ages as with all animals or humans they will snap if pushed had enough it i natural. I used to take my sringer with me to work all the time and it made training alot easyer as i could do bits now and then . Easyest way to decide is think could you take Rover for a 30+ minute walk after a long wet, cold day up a tree and your totally knackered theres a good programe on TV you want to watch but Rover needs his walkies!!? I have lived with dogs all my life and i think i would miss not having one around but sometimes life would be easyer

  11. I know Tim i saw a bloke today doing the same thing!!! Dam shame i forgot my camera otherwise you would have some else to pick holes in!!!!
  12. Well well Well It done its first job earned the fella a few £££ and worked ok, i picked it up and it felt ok to the hand , nice angle on the front handle, liked that. Not the power of a 200T but it was powerfull enough for what he did today.

  17. My work mate tried using his saw as a chock for the chipper!!! I made it up the back handle but no damage thank god.
  18. Should that not say My mates EX accountant?
  19. Caution on Nissan Terranos or Ford Mavericks Especially the older ones The oldman had a Ford Maverick and was a nice vehicle to drive and ride in but then he had a problem with the power steering, He was quoted £375 for a power steering pump and was told that if the pump has failed it was likely to bugger up the rest of the system!! He sold it . Now is running a Mitsubishi! I think if you want a happy medium between work horse and a nice drive a disco would be fine, i have owned 2 discos a 200TDi and a 300 TDI I found the 200 slightly better on fuel but less power and noisyer and the 300 more power but about 5-10 MPG less on fuel. I am currently running a Shogun, 2.8 Auto diesel about 15-20 mpg but much more comfy than a disco and Quicker much quicker.
  20. I think he is some work mates was there back in september and Tony took them for a course, it was quiet today as John T was out doing some propper work!!!!

I did ask what the footlocking world record was and i was surprised she told me it was 15.8 seconds!LOL Some of the other lads on the course didn`t know Jo`s achievements. Good laugh and looking forward to the rest of the week.
