  1. You dont mention what the factory does and I am sure your solicitor would deal with this but just ensure that there is no contamination of any sort on the land... it does sound a little to good to be true.
  2. I know of a two and a half acre wood in Notts which sold for 45K a couple of months ago with zero chance of change of use or taking the timber .. if you dont buy it I would be interested.
  3. I am sure he has no obligation to refund your deposit and if you take it to the extreme he may even have a case to insist that you complete the purchase. I would explain your situation to him and put the ball in his court about how he feels about you pulling out of the deal. Take into account that he may well have turned down other potential buyers on the basis that you had bought the vehicle.
  4. A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, ' I clocked you at 80 miles per hour, sir.' The driver says, officer I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.' Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: 'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.' As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, 'Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?' The wife smiles demurely and says, ! 'You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did.' As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?' The officer frowns and says, 'And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic 75 pound fine.' The driver says, 'Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.' The wife says, 'Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving.' And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, 'WHY DON'T You shut up??' The officer looks over at the woman and asks, 'Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?' I love this part.... : 'Only when he's drunk
  5. When I was a lad we had ta sleep on streets and as a treet us father would take studs of his belt when he whipped us and we ate coal every Friday tea time .. ee them were the days
  6. Tell me about skint... it is now 20 MONTHS since I have earnt a penny and as for cabin fever I feel like Jack Nicholson in the shining.
  7. Yes but I can tell my horse to sit
  8. I need one. I have to get UP this to get out.... in a BMW with big fat tyres or a transit
  9. You will be able to draw dividends as opposed to salary which will not be subject to NI and the company will pay Corporation tax on its profits. Also you will find it easier to lease vehicles and equipment as most finance companies prefer or solely do business with Limited companies.
  10. Now had you done a graph with membership for each year and amount donated per head along with projected memership for 2010 taking into account the economic climate along with the possible change of government
  11. Proof of the pudding we will see next year
  12. Not got a calculator handy but by my mental arithmatic calculations it should be over 7k next year
  13. Bl**dy hell .... that IS bad.
  14. Thank you 76AR …. Whilst I have never met you I think of you all the time now when I am using my Hakki Pilke Eagle following your Christmas Eve accident in which you lost the tip of your finger. So when you look at your shortened digit be assured your loss has not been in vain for it has made others more cautious. And (and I am aware that a sentence should not start with and but hey ho its Arbtalk:biggrin:) if there is a Mrs. 76AR tell her that her own sacrifice was not without benefit to others as my own female friend (don’t want her getting above her station) constantly says to me `please Dave don’t lose your fingers not the fingers`. It really has made me more cautious.
  15. I think you have just called several members monkeys?????
  16. I had M3 and now got BMW335 turbo sport .. only been out in it twice in two weeks and then had to be pulled up to the road by tractor
  17. My thoughts exactly... after a day of doing all of the above people just dont realise the work involved .. transporting the logs to site .. processing .. moving them to store.. store for a year... bring them out of store and deliver .. £80 waaayyyyy to cheap for all that work.
  18. .. and how long would it take to `season` get it eh season salt chips eh
  19. I have been everywhere to try and get some today but no joy. My son has to tow my car or van up the lane to the main road for me to get out. You may have to sit on it for a while but if you advertise that you stock it so everyone knows where to go when the time comes you cant fail.
  20. Size 7`s .... That`ll be the young ones learning the trade
  21. Sorry mate but that granny shoppin bag kills the lunge Top marks on the plunge though.
