  2. Haha, and you thought the Picus comment was funny!
  3. Easily done! Top people to deal with as well.
  4. Good job you’re a newbie on there Eggs....
  5. Dilz I was in exactly the same boat. My beloved 2-way snap is still in the shed, permanently married to my retired wirecore. The transition to the 3-way snap is easier than you think. Even if you go down the maillon route that 2-way won’t last forever.
  6. ‘Friendly and relaxed crew’ - We smoke a lot of weed.
  7. The second generation Stein cube was definitely a stronger version. My Falteimer is still faultless after 10 years. Although I do only use it ‘for best’. Matty I bet you £8 that these are utter shite!
  8. Result mate, really chuffed for you, and fair play for not caving in.
  9. Sounds too simple, but check the bolts on the exhaust manifold. All of them, with the cover off.
  10. We know how to party in here Mull. Merry Christmas mate.
  11. It is exactly that. Those fuckers are biodegradable. In, like, 200 years. You’re killing the planet J.
  12. Sounds like a great party, mind.
  13. Hope you get it sorted mate. A cundy keeker mate told me the holiday season is gold to him. Strangers in unfamiliar situations. Nappies, used johnnies, tampons, rubber gloves etc.
  14. This it what happens when the turds hear that you are a fan of ‘remain’ I’m afraid J.
  15. It’s a bastard isn’t it? Glad it’s not just me.
  16. Are you mental? None of us would have any work!
  17. Apart from the wheelchair thing we’re all guilty mate! The toddler thing was an accident though, I swear.
  18. Erik, can you do me a favour? I’ve got a few of Jerry’s books, so I think I know what a 10,000 board ft tree looks like (big!), but can you explain in simple terms what the system is? I’m guessing board ft is the same or similar to our hoppus ft over here, which is basically calculating the usable (square) timber from a round log. I’m good at maths, and understand taper, but any input would be great.
  19. That’s a harsh story Spuddog, and horribly familiar with what a sheep farmer mate went through down here. 2 big German Shepherds. After repeated attacks, warnings and deaths he had no choice but to kill both dogs cleanly with a 22-250. He loaded the corpses into his pickup and delivered them back to the owners. The woman, who I had the displeasure of quoting a job for once (cockney harridan, used to know the Krays, know what I mean?) asked if he could carry the dogs in and ‘put them on the fackin table’. She didn’t bat an eyelid. He left the place nearly sobbing. He’s a dog man like me. A week later she’s got two semi-mature Shepherds who she has called the same names as the dogs he had to shoot, walked up beside his fields on leads this time. Luckily they left the vicinity soon after. I often wonder about those dogs, and feel sorry for them. I could never shoot a dog unless the circumstances were extreme. I like them more than most people.
  20. Good luck with the job Badger. Baby-piss for Erik, but that’s a big ‘un over here. Pics and vids would be great. Erik, there’s some phenomenal character and colour in the timber in your latest pictures. Love this thread.
  21. ‘Shoot’ is spelled incorrectly mate.
  22. Burn it now J. Right now. Go out and burn it. Think of the polar bears you will save.
