  1. excellent mate, i have done the 400ft abseil down those caves. amazing
  2. i remember when you had to do your own homework:sneaky2:
  3. thats very handy dean, every penny is counted up here as well mate:sad:
  4. current toast, result dean. that up there with hot crossed buns, i dont likr them but i can never refuse them. we had home made lentil soup the other day with fresh pancakes for sfters with our cuppa:001_smile:
  5. its been painted and is getting a full service and new blades this week. so hopefully sort out delivery this week.
  6. if you are starting out mate, contact your local authority and start off on the right foot. thats what i did, just give them their place. you can look up tpo.s and conservation areas on their website, if it is unclear ask for a copy of their maps.
  7. I've got a feeling it will probably happen, although I'm looking to buy a landrover so il probably end up cycling when it breaks down LOL penfold has a cracker he could sell you
  8. ouch, hope he is ok mate. that is one of my nightmare scenarios, its up there with the spikey fence
  9. Once I've got my lisence I'm still gonna cycle to work with my harness and helmet around each side of my handle bars just as I do now i said that too mate, then the i just took the car
  10. oooooooooooooo your new avatar is soooooooo moooooooooody, and it looks like its been done professionally, with gel and everything. now that will make us think you arent a hairdresser.ha ha
  11. it sure will mate, bring huge joe as well. we were looking out for you guys at the weekend:sad:
  12. Make one that will take in whole pallets & then you have a mass source of material that will sell to every skip company in the uk i sold my ducker shredder to the local skip guy, he loves it. he used to smash them up with a digger, the haulage was killing him, now he can fit 4 times the amount into his big bins. and he can put doors and most waste wood in it too.
  13. i would say the friday will be a must, the first night of the weekend is always the best(i am old, i know wednesday is the first for the teenyboppers)if capel was anything to go by. name tags are a must.
  14. that is very kind mate, it was getting from the airport to the show that was the hassle, we did 450 miles in 50 minutes in the plane then took an hour and a half for the last 20miles. and coming back the trains were off, but luckily we got a lift.:cool1:the more everyone helps out the more affordable it will make for everyone. i would soon chip in for diesel.and i think group bookings are cheaper.
  15. defo mate, the more the merrier. it was great going to a show and having loads of folk to chat too, compared to just wondering about.
  16. jonesie paid 19 quid a night for the travel lodge rooms because he booked them early for capel. it would be well worth doing this early. i think i will do it soon. more money for gadgets and cider.
  17. i am a woodshow hussy mate, if its to help good guys like justin set up i am up for it mate, least i could do.
  18. camping or lodge mate. how far is it from stanstead, or is there a closer airport?
  19. havent seen this thread before, i have already downsized my chipper, and plan on re aranging kit so i can make more use out of the branches. i even talked about some kind of gizmo like this would be great on the back of the mog and the chipper on the front
  20. i have just got a stitch reading that mate:biggrin:
  21. i will keep the rest of the good stuff between the 2 of us mate:wink:
  22. hi guys i had such a great weekend at capel meeting some fellow arbtalkers, i thought i would bump this nice and early. who is all going?
  23. yes, but i had about 10 pints of cider on friday night mate:tongue_smilie:
