  1. Swimming is good for obvious reasons but as for the rest, as long as he/she is clean, polite and healthy you are doing a cracking job. When my yougest son was 6, he is 22 now, he got 10p to fill the stick bucket (morning sticks) and 40p for filling the log bucket. He kept a time sheet and had his wages at the weekend. Dont get me wrong, he also had everything I could give him and his brother and sister but it taught him working has rewards. He is still working for me but he earns a bit more now.
  2. I have been in this situation many times over the last 25 years and been to small claims court 4 times and won judgment each time but only been paid once. The first thing you need to asceratin is, if you took them to court and won, do they own anything?. Your quote is your main legal back up if you do decide to go for CCJ. Some times people will back down, some times they are bare faced liars who will drag things out hoping you will give up, only you can make the judgement but certainly try to be polite but forcefull in the begginning. Personally I would consider taking the money offerred then pursue the balance but of course this depends on your own financial situation.
  3. You need to clear your in-box.
  4. Could be a flat battery, pump it up manually and put the jump leads on.
  5. I have 150mts long x 10mts tall of Leylandii to fell and chip in the Exmouth area, anyone know a tip local?. Would anyone local be willing to help.
  6. One put a curse on me around 15 years ago, fortunately its not kicked in yet. I hate them with a vengance.
  7. I have been trying to find a college that does the RFS for three of my lads. I did mine at Reasheath on block release many years ago but they no longer do it. The nearest one I have found is Myerscough which is a two hour drive on a good day.
  8. I see you have had the problem with the electric clutch as well. What a cr*p idea. I think they have finally made up their minds how to burnish the bloody things. Where in the world are you?.
  9. bifenthrin (Scotts Bug Clear, Doff All-In-One Garden Pest Killer). Note, if you mix yourself for knapsack sprayer make sure you get the dosage correct.
  10. Looks very familiar. You need a winch.
  11. I have a Land Rover fetish. No 48?
  12. Carrying a copy of BS 3998 and wearing an Oak leaf in your button hole, or an Acorn in your belly button if you have'nt got a button hole
  13. We had a Villager in the last house which run 3 radiators. The only issue we had was the asbestos rope used to be replaced now and again. We also had little Wenlock which is a small fire but that one did two raiators as well. Both fires would stay in all night, just open up the air vents next morning, stoke em up and away they go again. Rads warm in ten minutes.
  14. Yes, but not very often. Probably once or twice a year.
  15. Ben, how ya doin. Bert still has your hat, he has been wearing it all through the recent cold spell. How long has he had that?. Bet you forgot all about it. Your set up looks good. The mog looks a bit dirtier now the shine has gone off the new paint.
  16. Yes I think it is but Mark would tell you better than me, he services it and actualy knows what all the levers and knobs are for. The crane is demountable and quite easy to get off. The front winch is quite handy to. What course was you on then, the RFS or the Tech Cert.
  17. I spoke to James last week, I had broke down on the M5 and called him by mistake:bored:. He said he was really busy. I think we are down to around 100 tonne now, sold quite a lot to the log guys.
  18. Well now you got me thinking, that would be around 1992/93?.
  19. I pop in now and again, some good stuff just wished I had time to read it all.
  20. Thats a very tempting offer, just wondering what I could do all night with three nuts. I will see what the mrs says and get back to you. Would you include your right nut for the trailer as well:001_smile:
  21. The first two pics are mine just after I had it resprayed, the third pic is Marks, the guy in the thread above with the video. We had been moving stone for two days in mid Wales and were washing the back off ready to go home.
  22. Must include the driver at that price
  23. One for work One for the Mrs One to play with We have a Bob Tail Range Rover for green laning The lads have a tray back for competitions Mine for competitions Dans for everyday use
  24. Do you know the guy?.
  25. Soul - Mowtown, if you like one you must like the other. Did anyone see the documentary on the Funk brothers last night. True genius. Never went to Wigan but we do go to the local events.
