  1. Comes under vermin, Steve.
  2. And Manchester is up North, which I have been told has an area called Canal Street, the street sign of which frequently gets altered to anal treet by the chaps who frequent it. Funny enough, it was Dean that told me about it. Just saying, that's all.
  3. I guessed it was a typo . I'm hoping to pick Mark's (Gollum's) brain if he is at Jonesie's this month. Are you going?
  4. At least it was the first
  5. Unfortunately, it wooden go.
  6. Hope he remembered to do the driver's door handle as well.
  7. Some very interesting leads there. I'm afraid you have assumed a better technical knowledge than I have with the form question . How about I take some pics when I get in on Monday, along with pacing out the gapping and I will post the results? I'd just like to say that I really do appreciate your taking the time to guide me.
  8. Good man!
  9. Definitely. All information gratefully received.
  10. Thanks, I guess I have my moments.
  11. I deal American and French Roulette, Blackjack, Dice, a couple of different types of Poker or Punto Banco. Before I did my current job, I worked for nearly 20 years in the UK gaming industry, mainly in Kensington and the West End. I make the same money that I used to make for a day's work as a groundie in 3 hours.
  12. I like your style.
  13. Croupier for fun casino companies.
  14. Hi Alec, The estate in question is 110 acres near Ingatestone and has 2 separate orchards, one consisting of 2 lines of espaliers in a formal walled garden which are in good condition and the other one further from the house consisting of trees in a grid pattern. I have counted up over 30 empty pits or dead trees in this part and it is this I want to revive. Any fruit produced is used by the house (and estate team ) with any surplus taken into work by the owner where it is given to the staff at his company. I am fortunate in that, having managed to get the grounds in good order quite successfully, I am given a free hand with regards to projects. The family who own the estate enjoy the fruit and veg that we produce for them, as well as being very much into the heritage and ecological aspects of the estate so I would prefer to concentrate on fruit with good flavour rather than uniformity of appearance. I would like to go for a mix of culinary and dessert apples, ideally with a reasonable spread of harvesting season. We have been lucky this year as one of two vacant hives in the second orchard has been occupied by a swarm of bees so pollination should be no problem.
  15. Puts me off as well.
  16. Alec, what would be considered commercial qualities? I'm looking at reinstating part of an orchard on the estate and would love to achieve that with heritage varieties appropriate to the period of the house (c1850).
  17. I've got one of these. Does that count? Unfortunately, it's a de-ac so I have to make do with my nice old skool Zephyr 77K for taking out myxy rabbits on the estate and my Quicks Recurve bow for archery practice.
  18. Lipton Iced Tea.
  19. All of them? I have a bad Penicillin allergy but on the rare occasions I have needed antibiotics, the doc has come up with something else.
  20. I cannot believe you are using a bank as an example of moral business practice.
  21. I had to read that twice.
  22. Makes you sound like a chancer if you do it any other way.
  23. Very true. The builders have been using a ready-mix concrete firm called 'Jim'll Mix it'. The driver wasn't amused when I said ' I bet you don't get a lot of calls from schools anymore'.
