  1. It's each to their own. I'd always be worried about sickness, lack of work etc., if I borrowed money. Furthermore, your usually paying more than if you bought something outright. I like the fact that if my chipper sits for a month, it doesn't cost me anything. just my own thoughts
  2. Don't take out a loan. Save up a while and buy a good quality second hand one. That's my advice
  3. Sabbath, with the late Ronnie James Dio on vocals. My ultimate band to see live, but never will.
  4. well said
  5. Re-spacing: a word I've hardly heard since the 1980's. Back then (to us) it meant the thinning of Sitka spruce. Trees were cut at the base and left, regardless of whether or not they fell to ground level. Stumps were treated with urea. Felling was basically the removal of weak trees, double stemmed trees etc.
  6. I'm glad she got re-elected. The consequences of a Michael Foot government in the 1983 election or a Neil Kinnock government in the next would have been horrifying. Why do you think the 1983 election was such a landslide victory
  7. A strong British leader, who always fought for this country's best interests. RIP Maggie
  8. Iv'e been thinking about getting one for years now to help unloading chip. Use loadhandler at the moment and it's pretty good. They do come up for sale a bit. There's one on Orbitkey vans website at the moment, but it's white and I hate white
  9. First thing I'd do is get a better book, such as a field guide to trees of Britain and Northern Europe, by Alan Mitchell. A bit outdated ( I presume) but great book
  10. You really should se a doctor. Anxiety can be a symptom of other diseases. They will probably do some blood tests. If they come back clean, then its definitely anxiety. I have suffered from it at times. Its under control at the moment, but I do get flare ups. I personally believe a lot of its to with your gene makeup. I'm very lucky to have a brilliant and understanding GP. I find keeping busy and keeping the mind occupied help a lot. I was at my worse when I had too much time to think. Yes, as someone else said, take a look at the stress thread on here.
  11. Thought I'd just introduce those of you who are interested to my 'non-tree' related web site. It's about the hunt class destroyer HMS Wensleydale. I've been researching the ship on and off for about 13 years now. I know it's a long shot, but if you know anyone who served on the ship, please let me know. HMS Wensleydale home page
  12. mine's an 04 L200. See previous post
  13. Well, I agree with the L200 turning circle being rubbish. But I've had mine 6 years and it's being just as reliable as my previous 2 hilux pickups. Apart from the usual things like rear springs, brakes etc, the only thing mine has had in all that time is a couple of sets of heater plugs. I'd buy another.
  14. 2nd battalion KOYLI was in Malaya in 1947. If that helps
  15. Try looking up KOYLI museum in Doncaster. They should be able to redirect you to their research branch. If you have his army serial number, name and regiment. His service record will only be available to next of kin.
  16. My opinion too.
  17. Have mentioned bad day at black rock before. One of my favourate films, also starring that great actor Walter Brennan, usually seen in westerns
  18. Do you mean 'The Searchers' ?
  19. A good job. Hate it when the client watches. Always worth putting a rope on if in any doubt. Or better still, get the tirfor out.
  20. Done, but survey could have been a little better worded. Good luck
  21. Until I visited Crete, I didn't realise just how much the Greeks hate the Turks. Is it just because of Cyprus, or are they other issues?
  22. In 1960, Britain allowed Cyprus to become an independent state, with the stipulation that Britain is allowed to keep military forces on two parts of the island. This maintained a British presence in the eastern Med. This could prove to be of strategic importance, just as Malta was in the med, during ww2. Think thats roughly right, but stand to be corrected
  23. £8.7 billion bailout for a small island in the Med. How has it come to this. Iv'e been harping on for ages, on this site that we should be out of EU asap. Forget what the Americans say about wanting us in the EU, their just looking after themselves, and won't even back us up on the Falklands, for fear of loosing trade with the Argies. Just imagine you have worked hard in a difficult climate, only for part of your savings to be taken from you; bordering on robbery in my opinion. If it can happen (not quite happened yet) in Cyprus, it can happen here and every other EU country.
  24. Mine has the same problem. Have changed rectifier/regulater, still doing it. Battery/leads ok. I just live with it and charge the battery about once a fortnight. Not really that much of a problem for me.
  25. Not at those prices, all appear way overpriced to me
