  2. I reckon a Zetor would happily run on whale blubber.

  5. Your best bet would be to find a local tree surgeon with a yard and process their timber into logs for a 50/50 split (pardon the pun). Budget Β£1.5k for a decent hydraulic splitter. Do it by hand if you’re mental.
  6. F you Blocker, I’m unique. Who cares if I still dye my grey ponytail?
  7. Primroses and Anenomes out in local woods here. Bluebells to follow. I’ll get some pics this weekend. It just makes you feel better about life. F the government, taxes, Gaza, Ukraine etc. Get up the woods, it’s magical.
  8. Sounds like a great night!
  9. No apology necessary here mate. Tough hand you were dealt there. At least you haven’t given up and bought some massive elastic waisted trousers! Many would have. Mick’s Clint Eastwood analogy is a good one. Don’t let the old man in. Don’t start wearing leather trousers to the pub, like.
  10. The thing that will age you more than anything is thinking you are 25 forever. Use your brain, experience and machinery, and keep training. Nearly every active arb I know who is past 40 does some form of training. It sounds counter intuitive, but work itself isn’t enough. Dempsey is a classic example of the exception proving the rule, but he keeps his wrists and forearms in tip-top shape with an extra large wine glass.
  11. I would say for people I know with double cabs the split is probably pretty even between people like Dave who really need one and vanity tosser trucks. Sign written plumber? FFS, what a shite vehicle choice. The farm and forestry boys properly use them, so do a lot in the construction game. They NEED 4x4, decent towing and safe tool storage. Crew/family space is a must as well sometimes. Yes, a single cab would probably work for some of them. A king cab would work for a lot more. For the other half they are just cock extenders. IT guys wanting to prove they are real men. It’s THEIR choice though, and as has been pointed out, they are already taxed to buggery on 33mpg. This government policy is mental. There must be a better way of deciding who is using it as a dodge and who isn’t. Spot checks by inspectors. If you can’t jump in it wearing muddy boots and it hasn’t got a towbar, crack on. Otherwise leave people be, and address the real issues like the thousands of boat people streaming over here from war torn Albania.
  12. DOMINOES! Lovely stuff Jake. Weather looks mint.
  13. I can’t buy a 3 this week. Wordle 1,378 4/6 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  14. I think what happened Andy is that demand outstripped supply, certainly on preorder. Rivian realised they could sell all they could build in the States, so cancelled all Euro/UK preorders. No idea how they’re doing in the US. I don’t really care either, electric bollocks.
  15. If tossers like you would just f off out of it the industry would be in a much better position. ’Tree surgery from as low as Β£30 per visit’. Bark.com are constantly telling me β€˜Mrs. A in Eastbourne needs her bush trimming’. I’m 3 hours away from Eastbourne ffs. We’re not selling carpets at a Turkish market here. Take your blue sky thinking and run it up your flagpole you prick.
