  1. Plays for me ok on PC and iphone. Bill you need to upgrade from that Nokia 3210 I reckon.
  2. Beast. Needed a guitar based rock tune, like.
  3. Can't wait to watch that. I bet you were working out how you would drop it as well. I do the same mentally, to some magnificent trees. It's a disease!
  4. I also think to a degree your type of advertising reflects in the business it draws. The parish mag is unlikely to draw the same type of work as an ad in Construction News. Certain papers/pamphlets round here only attract the 20 quotes for a £150 job brigade, cheapest quote wins. The days of the old fogeys with loads of money but no computer are coming to an end, as Mick said. Word of mouth is best, but you need to work for some mouths first! You need a web presence these days, however small. Mine is incredibly dated, I’ll be getting Steve to rework it this year (it’s not one of his).
  5. I've got more chip in my foreskin after a days graft.
  6. Look on the bright side, the lesson you should have learnt here is worth a lot more than the cash. [Insert The Who 'Won't get fooled again' YouTube clip]
  7. You get more with a carrot than you do with a stick. I’d use them on kids, mind.
  8. There’s no need to take their side just because you look like one.
  9. Predictions for tonight? I’ll go with a comfortable 3-0 England.
  10. Rigids are better obviously, you can’t compare the two. That cheapo Intex is a doddle to inflate and pack away. The bag it comes in is pretty flimsy, I’ll probably drop £30 on the Seyvlor rucksack carry bag when it busts, which will be handier anyway.
  11. I just got an Intex Explorer K2 and I’m more than happy with it. Under £90.
  12. Aye, that needs a massive fly.
  13. Argentina have some talented players. With the little man pulling the strings they could give anyone a fright right enough.
  14. Amazing stuff. I reckon anyone who isn’t Spanish was willing him to score that goal shot from outside the penalty kill zone. Great game for a neutral like me. Some of Spain’s passing and control was breathtaking.
  15. I might get one for my wife’s legs.
  16. In my early teens airguns were pretty much my life. I experimented with just about every pellet going. Remember Prometheus and Sussex Sabots? The truth was my Wembley Vulcan Mk.2 always performed best with Eley Wasps. I still get nostalgic when you get that whiff of a freshly opened tin of them. I pulled off some outrageous shots but when I think about it I was doing a thousand slugs a week sometimes. The Northumbrian countryside could probably produce a lucrative lead mine from my misses!
  17. I find that work just gets in the way of my life.
  18. @josharb87 How are you getting on with yours?
  19. Same for me Mick. Nessum Dorma still sends a tingle up my spine. I did the Panini sticker book for Espana 82 but the first one I really got into was Mexico 86.
  20. Chance would be a fine thing mate! Luckily I operate a fairly vigorous self-checking regime.
