No your right Rich. My mate has an i-phone and it does seem very reliable, more so than nokia smart phones. Apple pinched the idea for the i-phone from nokia, (and improved it in alot of ways) in much the same way as they got a load of linux baseed software and built an operating system that they then claimed full credit for. Im not putting them down for it, i think its inspired.lol My ONLY gripes with the i-phone compared to a nokia smart phone are the camera quality of the nokia is amazing, and i would find it infuriating to not be able to forward messages. I see they have sorted out the picture messaging thing now.

Is grandad ok....hes wearing ear defenders in those pics!!!!!!!!:laugh1: Great stuff as usual mate.

I have just got to EXACTLY the same point as you mate. I have an n96 which compared to the n95 8gb is awful, but still has the very best camera available on a phone. My question is n97, n97 mini, or n900. If you want a good camera fone then there is no alterbative. Other fones have more megapixels, but they still arent as good. n86 would be woth looking at, but not so much for movies as the screen isnt huge. As fior the i-phone....well apple (as per normal) pinched all their ideas off someone else, in this case nokia......

Buy a jap motor then.

Throughstones....essential to tie tha wall together. In some ares of the country they put a course of them in....i didnt notice any on the original pics on this thread tho....

I have to disagree with mozza a bit. It is possible to find mechanically sound-ish defenders for the money, but they invariably look pretty tired.....I have to say that you may well be throwing money away on a 2k disco for work....you can get discos for sub 1k at the mo with t&t too.

That is well nice....you have achieved all the necessaries for a good pointed wall...every stone level and the right way up, and even sized joints all round each stone...That is a really nice wall David. I love the way that you have a few stones proud of the rest, like the one at the end of the twiggy branch, and above the bush....or are my eyes deceiving me. Lovely mix of colour in the stone too. Is that what the local stone is like, and where are you based in Yorkshire?

Which website- pencalenick me and my mate did all of it, Mesmear we did loads but not all. The huge fireplace in Pencalenick is all my own work....

Touche. They are alright i think, but this is a (sort of) landy thread.....what did you expect me to say:laugh1:

It is very very nice, a la boutique hotel style. If you are into blowing serious money on accomodation in cornwall, here is another very special place that i worked on back in '95... index It is a catered place.......where we won the award for the stonework:blushing:
-
Get a defender, i know loads of blokes your size that drive them. Mozza, theres no such thing as a good shogun:lol:
-
Tghere is nothing on a landy that isnt easily removed......I think the rear bulkhead is only held to the rest of the vehicle by about 10 bolts!!
-
Whatever you do, the best advice for buying your first landy would be have someone there who knows them well, and who can establish which bits are problems, and which bits are landy traits....

No offence to Rob, but that would be criminal to mill with a chain mill. Get it to a bandsaw mill mate, too much waste otherwise.

Nice one. The guy who owns that property bought it as a dilapidated farm that hadnt been worked for 4 years, and spent about 3 million converting the barns and renovating the house. He was a retired 43 y.o ex banker.....he had just had a 10mil retirement handshake!!! Mesmear Check it out.

If its on a M plate it could be a 200 tdi, just. Did they have chains?
-
A belt. The worst that can happen in a 300tdi if the belt snaps is 4 pushrods will be bent. Great eh!
-
Mill it. Beautiful.

:blushing:Hehe.

It was a pretty good number for a couple of years- i could earn almost what i earn on arb work, but with just a hammer and chisel. It was my body and a basic boredom with the job that stopped me. I never intended to do anymore than help out a mate from time to time, and it ballooned for a couple of years. Tennis elbow eventually stopped everything, and was the excuse i needed to get back into arb stuff, which had taken somewhat of a back seat at the time.

No, the wall is almost solid stone at the left hand end, or the second pic, with about 12" of soiul in the top to plant into. Further doen the slope the wall thickens to about 9' wide at its widest point just to the left of the tree, and is esentially two 3-4' wide dry walls (with stones intelocking and laid in, not just tipped in the void) with shellit (stony slaty subsoil stuff) and 803 rattled in there and the void in the middle between the two faces filled with whatever we could get our hands on on site- rubble etc etc.

When using random stones which dont lend themselves to being 'worked' the best way to get it looking tidy is by 'pitching' the stones......

Hahahahahahahahaha nearly choked on me dentures....
