    I think they filmed the cum shot a couple of episodes before the end and it was always going to be an anti-climax after that, so to speak.
  2. Mark Bolam
    I'm worth it.
  3. Mark Bolam
    No, but very easy when you get to grips with the fairlead bit.

    I've got one and really rate it. It's a bit of a pig to set up at first, but when you get the straps dialled in it blows everything else I've used away. Tends right from the ground, very little drag and less rope wear.

    I am going to ask my twins to have a crack at writing a better ending. They are 4.

    Where did you get it Eddy? I can’t find one anywhere.

    Mmmmmmm. Maybe six different kinds of fence then....
  8. Mark Bolam
    To me, retaining the tree and removing the section of wall from the drop to the curve on the corner and replacing with a decent fence would be the best and probably cheapest solution. All depends if the client can live with the look of it.

    You is well racist Marcus.

    Nice scenery mate. Where was that?
  11. Mark Bolam
    Aye, that went well, didn't it?

    You twat Mick, I’m watching it tonight! I actually guessed that would happen, tbh.

    Thanks fellas. I'll check the exact hitch type and give them a bell. I'm pretty much resigned to keeping the crappy hitch, but if I can source a decent lock I'd be a lot happier.
  14. Mark Bolam
    Thanks mate. Looks very similar to my Bulldog, which won't fit.
  15. Mark Bolam
    I totally agree Ian. It's more of an issue now than it's ever been.

    I've looked at that mate. Certainly doable, but a right fanny-on, and would increase the length of the shaft more than I'd want to. Ratman, I need something that locks the machine onto the truck. Locking the coupling on it's own is pointless, one ratchet strap and it's away. The response from @Timberwolf Official on this has been about as good as the response from Husqvarna as to the availability of the 550 mk2 XPG.

    Unfortunately not mate. I have a clash with a mates 50th. Thames riverboat trip. It’s been nice knowing you....
  18. Mark Bolam
    Nicely squeezed in there mate. How’s the back?

    This is a bloody nightmare. No one can offer a single lock that will lock this p.o.s. coupling onto a 50mm ball. Basically I’ve got a £13k+ investment protected by a titchy little brass barrel lock that costs under a fiver. Any self respecting pikey could have it away in about 5 seconds with a claw hammer. It’s safe in the workshop, but it’s out and about I’m worried about. The wheel clamps tend to impede things a bit. No one seems to offer a Bradley double block style coupling that will fit a beefy 67.5mm dia shaft with fixing holes at 92.5mm centres. @Timberwolf Official what can you suggest? I fully appreciate the Alko coupling is fitted with cost/weight in mind rather than performance. Chains are a pita out and about, although I have them in the workshop, amongst other things.

    The Yanks loved it as well.
  21. Mark Bolam
    Aye, fair play to both clubs. Gritty stuff.
  22. Mark Bolam
    Also that would have been before Josh was born!

    Brexit.

    It does look good fun.

    Trees just aren’t growing due to ‘uncertainty over Brexit’.
