  1. If the guy has few family members around him you can always call the local authorities and just let them know he may need some help. Just a quick call to your local authority safeguarding team and they will help the old boy out with things
  2. Got the mrs not long back after watching paranormal activity. I hid in the wardrobe which has a see though mesh. After returning from the toilet I watched her panicing because I wasn't there and she then decided to sit on the bed right in the middle (In case I was under the bed) screaming I know where you are and armed herself with a plastic coat hanger to bash those pesky poltergeists ha ha
  3. The only boxer I can afford is in my avatar pic Likes to carry the odd stick but has no NPTC tickets!
  4. Copper cable you say??? Well the obvious course of action is to dig the entire lot out of the ground. Then take said cable to a suitable area (Usually just outside your caravan) and burn off those nasty plastic sheaths. Then forward on said cable to a local scrap metal dealer in exchange for many £££'s! After this return to door knocking for arb related work with a pocket full of cash, Safe in the knowledge no-one can ring the police as you have relieved them of their phone lines for a week !!!
  5. Great reply! Good to see folks doing their homework before paying a door knocker or a con artist to cause havoc in their garden.
  6. And probably a lot of the experienced guys too!
  7. Immingham motorcycle project. Find the number on google and give Adam a call. Will take as much woodchip as you can give him. Used to put on the mx track in muddy times . Conifer actually preferred! Obviously any thorn is no good for the bikes tyres

    Tinnitus

    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mV-Z54fiBo]British Tinnitus Association - Sounds of Tinnitus - YouTube[/ame] Youtube explanation and the actual different sounds of tinnitus. Varying degrees of severity and all very very annoying for the sufferer. Also a cause of suicide in some cases . Protect those ears folks
  11. If your SIL wants a part of the profit the company makes i can understand this. As she is an accountant i think it only fair that she can run the books for the business, keeping the financial turnover totally transparent for her and you. Obviously her cut of the profits must be minus the cost of hiring a sub contract climber and she must accept that maintaining equipment, quoting etc... is also part of working for the compamy and as such you are entitled to a larger share as this will be wholly your responsibility and your time out in the rain doing so. She sounds an intelligent woman and she should be able to see reason in your methods. Failing that its onto what huck said. I hope you can both find a common ground on this one as you have both had a big enough loss without the (In some cases i have known) Anomosity that who is due what from the deceased estate that sometimes arises in these situations. Good luck

  13. Personally i prefer to smash down a litre of 2 stroke mix with a whisky chaser! Thats how we used to do it, and how spontaneous combustion was born!
  14. You know youv'e done a good job when your kids are sick of the sight of you :lol:
  15. When we are all old and in our last days of life will we think "I'm glad i worked my ass off for those long long hours chasing the cash". Or will we think "I'm glad my children will remember all the times i spent with them". A parents love and attention is worth more than any gifts that are given as a replacement for daddies abscence. I had a very absent father from an early age and i'll be dammed if i'm going to do the same to my 2 kiddie winks
  16. So each panel cost the owner over £1k when it was first built Someones trying to remove your trousers somewhere i think! Worth a dig deeper into the price of that glass i think, or offer up plenty more bottles of malt and a certain someone may be tempted to travel
  17. Had one a few years back. Rated it as a good chipper£2.5k soon paid for itself. Is it a ruggerini engine, diesel by any chance? They are italian engines and i found spares quite easy to source through google, some london company but cant remember the name of it. Ruggerini also make outboard motors for boats.
  18. I think its so its the opposite direction to which the nut tightens to hold on the blade. Otherwise carnage would ensue!
  19. If its not stihl or husky he should serve 20 years minimum!!
  20. Logs? Don't mention logs to me! Those logs eventually turn into coal you know! And then people were paid to mine that stuff out of the ground until errrrr.........oops! :lol::lol:
  21. A very wise man once told me, Work to live not live to work
  22. And thats exactly why Meggie had to break them! Big bully boys doing disgusting things to people just because they din't agree with them. Unfortunatly for them they came up against the Iron lady, and got bullied back. They don't like it up em, but bullies never do!
  23. Tonight I shall go and have a drink for Margaret Thatcher's death. I shall raise my glass to the night sky, and THANK HER, and celebrate her life. People on this seem to have a very strange view of history. So here are a few little nuggets with how and more specifically WHY a lot of industries were destroyed by her, and what's more, ...destroyed with the MANDATE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE. The seventies were blighted by the trade unions waiting for winter and then coming out on strike at it's heart. Holding the country to ransom for ANNUAL pay rises of up to 36% ABOVE inflation. This was the likes of Scargill and co. And they bled us dry. We were bankrupted by them. And then the Winter of Discontent happened. And they ALL came out. Miners, power workers, transport workers; even funeral directors, everything tied into the TGWU came out. My own grandparents lay on a slab for 2 months waiting to be buried. The entire country was a ruin. Rubbish not collected for months, rats everywhere. And the unions laughed, and brought down Callaghan's Labour Government. And Thatcher stood up at the General Election and made ONE SIMPLE PROMISE. Elect me. And THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. ELECT ME AND I WILL DESTROY THEM. She won a landslide. On that promise.And she became the last elected Prime Minister to actually hold true to her election promise. She did exactly what she said. She utterly destroyed the unions. Obliterated them. The cost was those industries. We knew that would be the price. But we would not allow them to hold us to ransom again. What she did, she did with our BLESSING. The socialists and people who backed those strikes have only themselves to blame for what happened. Baroness Thatcher didn't destroy those industries and communities for fun or as part of a class war. She did it to stop them holding the country to ransom again. And then she held the purse strings tight and re-built the economy and the country and Britain again stood tall and thrived. And we won back the global respect we had lost while the left wing ruled. In the Falklands we were thankful for her being in office. Those of us who went 'south' in '82 did so knowing we had a leader who would not - and did not- interfere. She sent the military and allowed us to do our job. Gave us the money, the equipment and most of all THE FREEDOM to get the job done. Our lands had been invaded. We had a gun up our nose. SHE led us. Frankly Thatcher took a very broken Britain by the hand like a strict old fashioned Matron and LED THE COUNTRY BACK TO WHERE IT HAD ONCE BEEN. We were the worlds 3rd major power in ALL respects. And as for the world, it has NEVER been safer than when Thatcher was in Downing Street, Reagan was in the White House and Gorbachev was in the Kremlin as the three spoke DAILY. They laid the ground for the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Russians were TERRIFIED of her. And the world again feared Britain. And lets not forget that she gave people the full right to buy their own council property. Her vision was that the TENNANT and the tennant alone could buy that property.As soon as her party stabbed her in the back the feeding frenzy began as under her the famous Tory grandee greed was held in check. So they stabbed her, led by the europro traitor ponce Heseltine - who didn't have the guts to face her openly and alone - they arranged her removal. And we have been a broken patsy for europe ever since. So yes, tonight I will celebrate the death of Baroness Thatcher, with thanks, with respect, and with sadness, because she allowed me to know what we could be, what we could achieve, what it meant to be BRITISH Not written by me but says a lot i think!
  24. I don't think the country would be in the mess it is now if we had someone like maggie in charge throughout the craziness of the last few years. The country needs a leader with balls! Oh the irony
