Depends on the angle of the fracture/break I'd say. It's effectively a scarf joint so anything < 45 ° maybe?

Not quite, there'll be more lawn to mow.

I thought you could earn 20k a month post Brexit, that's why it's such a good thing for you?

Uh oh, have your vehicle's technical specs. to the ready lads and lasses! To be able to comment on this discussion we now have a new qualifying question. Opinions on the Potus will NOT BE TOLERATED unless adequate off-road and towing capability can be proven.

Does anyone use loppers or secateurs for Laurel cutting? I think that's an urban myth, or maybe a homeowner only activity. Loppers and saws are only for reductions of hedges that have "got away".

I do believe you're right, on closer inspection.

What is it, Slasher/Brushhook? I did similar with a fork years ago, and it's still going strong. Bound with thick Sisal Twine, bonded with PVA glue instead though. Not as smooth as a babies bottom!

If you caught them in the dip on the value graph, before they became collectors cars you could get them for a very reasonable price. An awful lot of car for not much money. Bullet proof too, especially the earlier W123 diesels. You could probably run them on lard if you wanted! There's a reason they're still plentiful in the Middle East and Africa.

Old Merc estates give the Volvo's a run for their money. My beat up old W124 was just grand until I got a van. Probably more load space than the bloated modern pickups and far more than all the crappy SUVs.

Nah, Privet beats Laurel hands down every time for me. Much easier to get a decent finish with the smaller leaves and higher density.

That cave rescue bellendery was the first time that he started to show his true colours, (or lack of), I think. The poor guy is probably still suffering from the legacy of that ridiculous, unfounded, defamatory remark by Musk. Made when he threw his toys out of the pram because he wasn't allowed show off with his new toy. I know who I'd want to be rescued by; I'd choose actual real people with years worth of cave rescue experience, any day of the week, and twice on a Sunday!

If it were me I'd keep the Beech portion of hedge. It's a completely different sort of animal to the conifer hedge, much better suited to the job from almost all respects. You can keep it well under control at the desired size far more easily. The conifer will always be a battle; so I'd concur to removing that and replacing with Beech or any other non-conifer type hedging plant, or a fence.

I had a mini copper pans fetish a while back. I was quite tempted to invest in a couple, but got put off by some stuff I read about them being really rather delicate. As in the silver coating wears off easily unless you're very careful. What's your experience of them so far? How are they holding up? What's the cost of getting a pan silvered roughly? You see them fairly often at car boot sales, antique/vintage shops and the like, for not much money.

It could be that The Donald doesn't actually realise that there have been hurricanes ripping through. It's become standard practice for him to stick fingers in his ears/cancel/ban/deport in response to people saying things he doesn't like, or god forgive, criticising him.

Only you can answer the question of how deep do the screws go?! If we're to start another sweepstake, in true AT style, I'd guess that they're 125mm long.

Ash, defo. Though Beech would be better if you're looking at it from a pure calories per volume perspective. Watch out for that big timber screw when you're logging it up! Can you show us a picture of your hoard please? You must have enough for a decent firewood supply business now

Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an OFFENSE under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows: IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH #1. To make an appointment to see me #2. To query a missing payment. #3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there. #4 To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping. #5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature. #6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home. #7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier. #8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 10 #9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. #10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year? Your Humble Client And remember: Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to pee us off.

Brick Lane innit.
