To own a Mog? Loads of cash and a small penis.
-
Aye it's some place. This butt might give the 660 a few problems, mind.
-
The Bolam girls surrounded by a bit of colour at Wallington.
-
I thought you were taking the proverbial John, I was getting mixed up with the TW 13/75!
-
It appears not mate. Even with loads of Brylcreem.
-
Why can't we say that? That's how any of us with any sense see it.
-
They did before. Do you think they'd not be keen, like?

We need what I would call positive immigration ie skilled grafters. I would also like to see positive emigration of workshy parasites of any ilk. They can go and smoke their Mayfairs and watch their full Sky packages in Somalia.

My splitter head is set at 12", so all my logs are 12" or below. Some might be 4" long, you know how it is. Requests for a load of 6" logs result in the doubling of a load cost, which to me is simple maths and economics, but I haven't had much success with that. Well, none actually. I couldn't be less bothered.

My KM56 has been faultless (hedgecutting and occasional polesaw use only), which is more than I can say for my 4-shitz KM130. Can't comment on the 94.
-
Aye, all change in 4 years I reckon. Good for the game. That said, the big guns never seem to struggle for young talent. I seem to have lost that knack, but I blame the wife.

I was a bit surprised that the main treehouse restaurant at Alnwick gardens is fitted to the trees fairly basically. I was expecting some cunning eco system. Ty how far are you from Mont St. Michel? Pretty unique place.
-
An exciting, close game would do me Richie. I admit I'm pretty obsessed with SBW's offload game for the All Blacks, so I'd like to see him shine to stick it up some of his critics, and I like Dan Carter. What a way to bow out a win would be for him.

Kiwis for me, but if the Aussies end up playing better rugby I'll happily cheer them on.
-
As above. It's been a great World Cup for me, some cracking tries and great attacking rugby.
-
That is a totally simplistic view. I pretty much agree with it, like. Just work hard, play hard, look after your family and friends and be nice to people. You can't do much else anyway, so there's no point worrying about it too much.

I won't take the grinder out for less than £100 these days, but I doubt it would be much more than that.
-
Some people have them, some don't. I've seen them, they've got green bits on, I think.
-
In a nutshell mate. You don't bring a gun to a knife fight.
-
Female blackbird turds are the best colour to rub onto tear cuts I find.
-
Take it off Stubby. You can get a groundy to send some up if required.
-
In praise of natural crotch lowering/rigging.
Mark Bolam replied to Mick Dempsey's topic in Rigging and roping
I'm a bit wary of rigging. I don't like those pieces swinging around near my ladders. -
It's not a requirement by law to have them in the first place.

Because if the sides can't be faced the 'hedge' has been lost, and I've spent too many years of my life up 40' wide multi-topped shitbags with no central anchors that will invariably be felled anyway. Usually owned by idiots and skinflints who don't maintain them. I'll price to fell, or leave them to those more desperate.
