Strange fact about that tune Eggs. I bought it on cassette single when it came out, and the lyrics went - ‘There’s a funeral in the town, Some guy from the top estate. Seems they found him under a train, And yet he had it all on a plate.’ It was quickly withdrawn, and the lyrics changed to - ‘Black car drives through the town, Some guy from the top estate. Left a note for a local girl, And yet he had it all on a plate.’ The release coincided with the tragic murder of Jamie Bulger, so the lyrics were quickly changed out of respect to his family.

So this is how it feels to be lonely?

I was just going to plug mine in. Do they come with a plug or croc clips? If it’s clips what would be a good battery choice?

GX160 too small for stump grinder
Mark Bolam replied to woodywoodpecker1888's topic in Maintenance help
This all day long. You could even go genuine Honda, a GX390 is about £700. -
Spam lasagna Pete? Interested.

Well I thought it was too good to be true. Just had all my properties repossessed, been declared bankrupt, but my wife and kids have actually taken everything. Bastard Community Chest.

That can’t apply to humans, surely!

It’s 2023.

To be fair, the traffic yesterday was as good as I’ve ever had it, apart from that shithole of a mess Dartford that cost us over an hour. Just cracked a can, quick bit of wrapping, then start making a Jalfezi with the kids while Mam relaxes with a large G&T. Cheers!

Already arrived at Mam’s in Northumberland mate, with a bit of help from Chris yesterday! 370 from Kent in 7.5 hours fully loaded with dogs and kids. Outlaws arriving tomorrow so it’s all coming together!
-
Fair play for jumping into action for them mate. Merry Christmas!
-
They have been ripped off because they were told it was 7 tonnes
-
Fair point John. If that was cut, split and put into nets it would start to look like bargain of the century compared to garage prices. ’A snail is a diamond to the eye of a duck’.
-
I do loads on my own my, but ‘proper’ climbing like that just doesn’t make any sense solo for a variety of reasons. The price is irrelevant as to how many men and toys you bring to a job, it’s worth what it’s worth.
-
I think 2 loads in a 3.5t truck doesn’t make 7t! Probably more like 2t there. Looks like quite nice stuff, but if I could make £150 for a Tranny load of unprocessed green cord I’d be a happy man.

South London climber early Oct

Still dragging the brash. -
Tom’s was pretty high spec. Lovely work. Thread in here is ‘Tipper body manufacturer Shropshire’ in arb trucks.
-
I don’t think that price is too far off in todays money, but a lot would depend on how you want it specced out. @Treetom15 has just had his done by Kirklands in Stoke and might be able to help.

Full report please!
-
If someone headbutted your house and damaged their face would that be your fault as well?
-
Posh pants? Exoboxers - would you want these for Christmas?
Mark Bolam replied to Arbmam's topic in General chat
I’ve got Just Wears, which are pretty similar. Can’t be doing with cheapo scratchy pants where the elastic goes within a few months. -
So I married her.
-
I had similar Mick, I just couldn’t go out with her any more.

It’s not the tree. It’s the fuckwits who built the garage near a 100 year old tree.

Apparently, this never actually happened, but it’s still a great story!
