  1. Stihl MS 029 which I picked up for pennies. Currently starts then either stalls immediately or runs for a short time then splutters to a halt. Giving it all a good clean up, new plug, fuel filter + hose and vent tube which currently has rust stains inside it. Got a carb kit too if it still refuses to comply.
  2. I think you would need to establish a code of conduct. Being photographed in an otherwise unseen area of your property would likely be construed as an invasion of privacy, if not harassment. Again, it would also come under the relevant article of the HRA. Would the Police take or action or would it be viewed as a matter for the civil courts? Depends on the take of the Police/CPS, I suppose.
  3. My take on it is that if somebody is on their own property but clearly and easily visible from public land then it would be legal for them to be photgraphed eg being 'door-stepped'. If taking the photos involved scaling a fence or trespass then the photographer would (and should) be in the brown and smelly. As I said, just my take and I couldn't cite case law to support it. My guess is that it would fall under the HRA article concerning right to privacy etc.
  4. In so, so many ways.
  5. The business I was in at the time was in Bryanston Street and had a clientele that was roughly 85% Arab based, higher in the summer when we had the seasonal influx from Kuwait etc. If I did a day shift, when I left to collect my car or head for the Tube all you could smell was shishas and the local grill restaurants.I have never seen empty streets in London like I did on 9/11(please excuse my using American dating system). Having not been back there in many years, I suspect my take would still be the same as yours.
  6. Not true, I'm afraid. In a public place, anybody can take pictures or film. On private property, it's not quite so straightforward. AFAIK, then it comes down to how visible somebody is from outside the property.
  7. Nope, you would be talking to dealers who carry different brands. Different types of trousers and boots suit different people but if you want to take a punt and spend several hundred pounds without trying them on first, there is a search button where you can get threads up in the bar at the top of the page to do some research then the dealers are down the right hand side.
  8. Are you 100% sure the smell of weed was from him smoking it and not because he is growing it?
  9. I started up a chainsaw today and I was wearing shorts. Will I go to hell?
  10. Go to the APF and try boots and trousers on.
  11. Marble Arch/Edgeware Rd was known as Little Beirut when I worked there in the 90s. Nice and easy to get Khoubz or Baklava after work though.
  12. Windows 8 and Firefox here, no issues or message.

  14. Friend I worked with at The Sportsman Casino in the late 90s. [ame] [/ame]
  15. When I get up on a work day, I always make sure I neck a pint of squash before I put the kettle on for my flask.
  16. Bet you were gutted.
  17. My mum swears blind I used to do pink pees as a kid because I ate so much beetroot.
  18. He hadn't shaved his legs.
  19. As a swear word or a sexual preference?
  20. Treebay would be a start.
  21. Like the Conservative election 'irregularities' that have been reported by Channel 4 News to the extent that they uncovered evidence which aided the Police in court to challenge the Government's attempts to block any investigation, said story so far ignored by the BBC? Tory election expenses: police announce investigation - Channel 4 News New expenses scandal emerges as Tories fight police in court - Channel 4 News
  22. True. It's more in the emphasis and bias of the reporting.
  23. Odd how often stuff like that happens though, with the help of the media focussing attention elsewhere. Classic example is the Labour party attempted coup, created by the disciples of Bliar and over-reported by Kuenssberg et al at the BBC, which has done a lovely job of taking most people's minds off Chilcot which at 2.6 million words is rather unattractive reading to most.
  24. I would always wear a mask when chipping London Plane at this time. Poplar trees and Ivy are my pet hates. Just my luck that I was doing an Ivy clad Poplar with plenty of fluff on Monday.
