  1. Can’t tag Tom Bowen for some reason.
  2. @Joe Newton before he gets on the red wine.
  3. What would you go for if you were only allowed one attachment mate? That’s the problem I can see with these machines - too many bloody useful options!
  4. This is simple user error. You are meant to trash other peoples lawns, not your own!
  5. It’s Newton. Probably some kind of cocktail of red wine, meth and spice.
  6. I’m guessing there were lines involved.
  7. Peasgood that was a tough read mate. You and your brother should hold your heads up high. Your Mam would be very proud of you both, and I hope she’s at peace now. Look after yourselves mate. John, this is a very difficult, informative and thought-provoking thread. Thanks for taking the time.
  8. I’m always amazed at the low value placed on planting. When you think about it, it’s the most important part of our lives, in many different ways.
  9. It’s replacing the newly planted trees which have died mate.
  10. Anyway, I’m off to the coast to stand near the edge of a pier to film some massive waves to put on my social media. Essential journey.
  11. They seem to overegg it a bit since ‘87. I think folks would rather be told their roof will blow off and it not happen than the other way round. The fact that it might get a bit windy in London seems to be the thing that’s driving the media frenzy.
  12. Where’s the fun in that Pete?!!!
  13. Why’s that Matty? Battery drain?
  14. Fit both Mick, you’re worth it. I suppose having a hydraulic winch to the hopper doesn’t float your boat as much because you’ve got that covered with the Avant?
  15. Aye, the dids would love that.
  16. Bloody right!
  17. They bloody want to be for £70k!
  18. They’re not all black! https://www.outdoorgb.com/p/Sealskinz_Waterproof_All_Weather_Ultra_Grip_Knitted_Gloves/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR&currency=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=192019&SelectedItem=776008&gclid=Cj0KCQiAu62QBhC7ARIsALXijXQMNMXVUPq90g4d5RpKQShRd0GA5rt7u9E7VWs7rNTazOzIqX7GHKMaAo1JEALw_wcB
  19. Those sound pretty good, similar to the ‘Winter Touch’ I have used, and similar price for a single pair. Depends how much sensitivity you need for the controls I suppose Mike. I’ve found neoprene too cold on really brutal days, but I’ve got really poor circulation in my hands. I have Sealskinz as well, they’re great, but I keep them for best!
  20. I try not to ‘work’ work on Sundays, but I kind of like a bit of yard work, servicing, log/chip deliveries or such like in the morning, stuff I can usually involve the kids with. Big dog walk with the family, then after a shower feel justified in having the boozy dream that Mick described. Some pretty good arguments either side, just do what’s best for you and try and be considerate of others.
  21. 1 day ROLO course then assessment monkey test, about £200. Why do the Jobcentre want him to do two weeks training with anyone, in any discipline? They’re deluded.
  22. The perfect Sunday! Pretty much today, but did service the chipper and take the twins swimming first. Rugby instead of film, and big dinner and a bit too much wine still to come!
  23. I know. Ebay sell them.
  24. Good idea, but ‘the thieves best friend’ ebay sell these for £43. Why would any honest person need a tracker detector?
  25. Well ebay wouldn’t pull it would they? They are as bad as the thieves.
