    Jokes???

    Hot and cold sex After his examination, the doctor said to the elderly man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?" "In fact, I do." said the old man. "After I have sex, I am usually cold and chilly; and then, after I have sex with her the second time, I am usually hot and sweaty." After examining his elderly wife, the doctor said: "Everything appears to be fine. Do you have any medical concerns that you would like to discuss with me?" The lady replied that she had no questions or concerns The doctor then said to her: "Your husband had an unusual concern. He claims that he is usually cold and chilly after having sex with you the first time and then hot and sweaty after the second time. Do you know why?" *"Oh, that stupid old fart''* she replied. "That's because the first time is usually in January, and the second time is in August

    Jokes???

    The Reverend The Reverend John Fluff was the pastor in a small town in Ireland. One day he was walking down the high street when he noticed a young lady of his congregation sitting in a pub drinking beer. The Reverend wasn't happy! He walked through the open door of the pub and sat down next to the woman. "Miss Fitzgerald," he said sternly - "This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don't you let me take you home?" "Sure!" she said with a slur, obviously very drunk. When Miss Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. The Reverend realized that she'd had far too much to drink and grabbed her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor. After a few moments, the Reverend wound up on top of Miss Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist. The pub barkeep looked over and said, "Oy mate, we won't have any of that carrying on in this pub." The Reverend looked up at the landlord and said, "But you don't understand. I'm Pastor Fluff." The barkeep said, "Ah well, if you're that far , ye might as well finish."

  12. I used to many moons ago when I lived in Dartmoor,used to get in the river Dart in the morning,as I was only a few yards from it,lovely. Wouldnt want to round here in essex,probable end up with a genetic defect or suffer a sex mutation like the fish!!!
  13. Same as Taupo,its the combustable gasses building up,then catching with a bit of a whumph,often on a fresh lit or damped down fire that catches, Sycamore is good at doing it. May have something to do with the relatively high sugar content.
  14. :thumbup1:Nice pics,more please!

  19. Its all to do with altitude...............if your up the top of the tree adjust your H screw,once you get lower down its the L screw, I thought everyone knew that:001_tongue: actualy they affect the mixture at different throttle positions.L at small throttle/tickover,and H at wider /open ,which is obviously related to engine revs,as they are a response of what ya finger does.

    Small Echo's

    I use the little topper,its a very nice saw,no probs in a couple of years regular use,for sub 4inch stuff & conny topping you wont get better,I run 2 of them,they get abused,they keep going,and they dont mind aspen once you have tweeked the high jet,(which is restricted by a hook it out with a screwdriver plastic grommet). I rate it as a 'pro' saw.
  21. What kit are you using, compact or dslr? I used aperture priority for this set,with the highest aperture setting (f8) to give the best depth of field,with a flash to keep the shutter speed up. I often go for manual settings,max aperture value,fast shutter speed to eliminate any camera shake(I work hand held on this sort of thing)and adjust the flash with a test shot or two,you will lose any backdrop this way,as it will be underexposed,I like to stick at low iso settings in case you need to crop the image later. The trick here is to use an achromatic close up filter with maximum camera zoom(not digital zoom),then you are not right up close to the subject with the camera,these were taken from about a foot away. The achromatic close ups are made of two bits of glass,giving much better resolution,& eliminating aberation,they come in different dioptre strengths,and you can stack them,strongest on first. If you are using a compact camera with no chance of banging a macro lens on then google 'Raynox',the DCR250 is very strong,the Dcr150 less so,they will clip on to a lot of compacts,and are very reasonably priced with superb quality. Rant over! pm me what camera you are using & I will see if I can be more specific.
  22. Its not complex really,when it happens you get little chance to set plans in motion,it was no big problem other than the fact that you have been noticed as a potential target,which is the big pain in the arse, time will tell... It's the anticlimax of not getting contact that I found most poignant initialy,all the same,i'm here & they arn't. Best off being a 'cameleon'!
