  1. got a new tat yesterday, i was a bit unsure about it but my mates told me it looked great
  2. i guess it pulls slack through with a bit of rope beneath it.
  3. here's the direct link for y'all... FORD COUNTY TRANSIT 4X4 WITH WINCH FOR SPARES OR REPAIR | eBay UK

    festivals!

    the trouble is they want to crack down on illegal raves, but as soon as you try to do something above board they make it too difficult! back to thetford forest then!

    festivals!

    My friends and I were organising our 4th annual (except 2010's break) underground music festival 'The Philosopher's Fair' ( Philosophers Fair | Facebook ) until this wednesday just gone, when we had a meeting with the police and environmental health. They have pretty much made it impossible for us to put it on this year with mountains of paperwork and £20k+ policing and security costs. They said they were scared it would lead to an illegal rave. hmm. Might go to Boomtown and have a chance to see snoop dogg at Lovebox which would be funny oh yeh, strawberry fair in cambridge as always!
  6. there you go!
  7. i will always be a country lad after living in a backward village for 20 years! i'm enjoying being young & living in the centre of a big town at the moment (it's great stumbling home after a night out, rather than £20+ for a taxi! - oh and the pub 20 yards from my doorstep has a cider festival at the moment, bye bye )
  8. kinky!

    they only sell them in australia it seems. it's kind of like oz and yank engines - heavy and not much horsepower (compared to say 441 or 460) worth getting if it's really cheap but spares might be a problem in the uk
  11. my work mate has an escort van, it does what its supposed to, just not very fast!
  12. peter pracownik does great green man/ mythical/ celtic/ faerie/ tolkien-esque designs (paintings, not tattoo's, although you could just copy them) The Enchanted World of Peter Pracownik and Another Green World i have this design on a hoody which i wouldn't mind getting as a tattoo...
  13. i don't like the name. not being mean, just an opinion. it is pretty much 'Tree Tree Surgeons' translated. perhaps a word containing 'arbor', without 'tree' just after it. for instance our company is Danarbor LTD.
  14. first port of call is to get sheets of 25mm celotex insulation. also, a bit of leccy wiring, then ply lining ontop. i'll be going round scrappy's looking for old caravans to get a few bit n bobs. a wood burner made from an old gas bottle will go in the corner to keep it toasty in winter. lots to keep me busy!
  15. i can finally put up a picture of the inside after much scrubbing and ripping out the gun bus seats!! it's now a blank canvas!
  16. here's one of mine painted upon a freckly canvas!
  17. how far are you willing to travel? when i finished college, i travelled 1.5 hrs each way to get work (about 50 miles on crap roads) have you thought of relocating, for say 6 months or a year, just to get experience in?

    this one caught his good side

  20. 2 phone lines, 2 domestic powerlines and the main powerline through the village below this lime. pollarded to 20ft ish. finished by lunch, we got a tenner each tip and a massive slice of home made cake! woohoo!
  21. got some hammerite on the bumpers, wheels and wing mirrors - looks good as new! going to get a woodburner made for it soon and put insulation, ply line it and electrics. oh, and i forgot to mention, it has a plaque in it saying " This ambulance was used in London's Burning, The Bill and Eastenders" - what a star!
  22. ha! i'm a sucker for old hippy buses. check out http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/lounge/25402-my-project.html, it'll have a few pics of the converted horse boxes and 70ft long boat at the yard i use.
  23. that truck is very cool! can't see a chimney though! has it got a woodburner?
  24. could it constitute as fraud? (the insurance bit)
