  1. I've never paid to sharpen any blades in 10 years. Use a bench grinder and jig. Never had any problems.
  2. Used to have a few shares years ago, but sold them when I got a mortgage. Have just finished paying off the mortgage and started buying a few shares again earlier this year. Not made a fortune yet, but not lost one either. Anyone else like a flutter on the markets?
  3. is there anything you don't need a licence for nowadays????????
  4. 15l 425 model. I had a few of them, but they all developed leaks on the piston, albeit after a lot of use. still a great sprayer and given the choice between solo and cp, I'd go for the solo every day. But berthoud is my preferred choice. Let down only by a crappy filler cap and a filter that wants to jump out of the sprayer every time you fill it with water.
  5. I've now converted to berthoud sprayers. Well worth the money. Still like solo, but had a few leakage problems in the past. Been running the berthouds for a couple of years now, with no problems.
  6. Golf. funny enough, we played east Renfrewshire this year while on a golf trip with the lads. Also used to do a bit of metal detecting and military history research. But golf is my main hobby
  7. I did them years ago, and remember the old blue book well. but because there was no ariel rescue then, I was told that if I did what was cs38, then a cs39 refresher, then I'd be up to date. So that's what I did.
  8. Why the hell doesn't he play for Ireland then? If I was in charge, he'd never play for England again.
  9. Not singing the national anthem is an absolute disgrace to those who gave their lives in the Battle of Britain. His non singing and shambolic appearance should have been a source of embarrassment for the party he now represents. Even, newly elected members of the shadow cabinet admit he was in the wrong.
  10. Just taken a look at the newly announced shadow cabinet. Thank God he'll never get elected.
  11. Probably a journalist. Travelling the country interviewing ww2 veterans, selling my work and getting lots of free time to play golf.
  12. Sit on your a**e and you'll do well out of labour. Want to live off benefits, vote labour. Like high inflation, then labours the party for you. Want national debt to skyrocket, due to overspending, yep it's labour like Union domination and constant strikes, then it's labour all the way. Like to get rid of our nuclear weapons, leaving us open to attack, then corbyn's your man.
  13. The muppets didn't get elected with the left oriented milliband, so the go further to the left. Total disaster for that party, but a blessing for the UK, as he's totally unelectable.
  14. Totally agree with you. Best thing that could have happened. Hopefully no more labour for quite a while.
  15. Always tastes ok to me!!!!
  16. Seems to me NZ has it sorted. No subsidies and cheaper lamb. Well done to them. Perhaps we could learn something of them?
  17. I could be wrong, but I always thought it was 100 to 1 mix before 2012, for spot spraying.
  18. I got one about a month ago. Used it once for a few stumps. Did the job well. Light to move about. Still early, but can't fault it yet.
  19. I think if you are 50 or over you can be tested annually. I'm 45, but getting test was no problem
  20. I've had prostate type symptoms for years now. I've had 2 PSA tests over the last 6 years. One only last week. Both were normal so was THE examination, and blood tests. Feel relieved now. If anyone out there has symptoms, go and see your doctor. its not just an old man's illness.
  21. Sheep love asulox. I spend most of August spraying bracken on the moor's. I've done it for the past 15 years or so. I always use a blue dye to see where I've been. The sheep lick the salt in the asulox, and end up with blue nose's. God knows what it does to them, but never seen one dead yet.
  22. Asulox. It's the only really effective one. Will need repeat application next year and perhaps for a few more years.
  23. The only border I mention is the Syrian border. So, naturally, im talking about that. Especially the Golan heights. An area seized by Israel after the 6 day war. Naturally, the Syrians want it back. Israel would have reluctantly offered it back in return for a peace agreement. Something which the Syrians would not agree to. The heights were used by Syria to shell Israel from the 1940's to the 1960's due to its strategic position.
  24. I don't know where you find your information? Syria still disputes the border. Would you feel safe with them nutters on your doorstep. Unless, of course you read tommer9's original post. The peace treaty with Egypt has worked. But, That part of the world is so unstable, all of its neighbours would combine if they think they could beat Israel. Don't forget, hitler and Stalin once had a non aggression pact
  25. I've taken the time to do a bit of research on the centre for research on globalisation. I've also read some of the articles quoted by Tommer. The professor who established the organisation was at one time described as 'one of the nuttiest professors in Canada' The 'propaganda reigns in the west" article was written by Dr paul Craig Roberts. Someone who thinks Putin is a credit to the human race. Someone who thinks 9/11 was a conspiracy, and someone who thinks the Charlie hebdo attack in France was set up by the US Most of the other quoted articles are from conspiracy theorists etc. people who believe everything is a set-up. Reading the articles yourselves and Googling the authors will allow you to draw your own conclusions.
