  1. Thats alot. I hope he never comes back as you might do something you regret. On the other hand I'd like to see you catch him and give him the pasting of his life. Thieving bastard:thumbdown:
  2. Yup!!!I'm hacked off by early Feb with the work that goes into running a small stove............ But on the other hand it does look nice.
  3. I have one coat and one fleece by Columbia, never had anything warmer in my life.Columbia Sportswear Company | Select Site
  4. Excellent. They sing lovely John, I'd have done the windows up and sold him at the Gypsy fair:lol: You'd get a good price for that this time of year:laugh1:
  5. You can have my Stein when I've bought a ropeguide Dave. If I'd known at the time I'd have bought the ropeguide instead of the saver. Fancy a little rec climb over the break? Perhaps we could get a few more to come along, bacon butties, bit of climbing then a couple of jars.
  6. Get them new girly boots off the table......its bad luck.

  9. I just use a sweeps brush cos my mate gave it to me with a set of rods. The proper brush for stainless flues is made of copper I think. Anyhow we do ours about every 8 weeks. Huck, yeah the bird would'nt have come down if the stove was alight but I doubt very much he would have survived for long after breathing all the fumes. Stevie, it was a starling. He flew out and perched on a picture hanging on the wall, the wife just wanted it out cos she reckons their droppings stain the paintwork and I just wanted a pic of it. So I'm chasing it with the camera and she reckons I was like Cpl Jones........"Dont panic":laugh1:
  10. Well I'm gonna put my prices up. I thought £150 was too cheap.........So what that it's arisings from another job. The fact is it belongs to you and you've sat on it for a year or so and then you split it to size and deliver it to the door.....Best part of half a day!! Its gotta be worth more. £180 in future. Possibly £200.

  12. Charles ol boy, I'll have you know my logs are 2yr seasoned minimum:001_tt2:
  13. I'm assuming that you mean the slower I burn the fire the bigger the build up of crud. If thats the case then yeah you're right. Only fire it up four a half dozen hours a day, the rest of the time its just ticking over. Or more like smouldering.
  14. Yup sireee, saved me a job. Look at the crud it knocked down.
  15. Just had a starling fluttering about in the flue. That is one lucky bird, my stove usually stays alight for ten days at a time. We let it go out last night because we were gonna clean the flue today but the bird has done it for us on his way down. I left the doors open and he's just flown out into the living room then out the window, nice one the flue is clean........Reminded me of the big manors where they used to chuck a live goose down to clean the chimney's hahaha.
  16. I do an L200 load for £90, the less you buy the dearer it is.
  17. A couple of years after the 87 hurricane we was in and out of the woods three times a day splitting fallen Beech and getting stuck six times a day. Always got out under our own steam though.
  18. Try this.http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/11975-s-east-xmas-shindig.html

  20. Sorry bruv, things like that I buy new only
