  1. some fair thought has gone into the design of that beast, useless at night (lights pointing at front wheels), useless in rain/wet roads (turn wheels slightly to get a face full of wheel wash), useless upsidedown (would remove top half of head), nice heated garage though?:thumbup:

  2. i would have told them on the first day.....thanks but i dont do peppermint tea.........csn i have a coffe please. Easy.:001_smile:

     

    it took us 3days to work out what it was, day two i forgot my lunch and was the only guy to drink it as i needed energy..:thumbup:

    maybe its a local brew? we were down in sheffield..

  3. Cut a small peg and bounce it of the groundies hat!!!!

     

    Works for me!!:001_tt2:

     

    dropped my silky:blushing: while pruning lastweek, had nothing to throw at the groundy and couldn't shout loud enough.. he was wearing new chippermuffs with radio on underneath while feeding chipper, usually he glances up every minute or so but not that time.. wish i'd had a cuppa for the wait..:thumbup: guess i could have nipped down but with last few cuts left then end of the job it was easier to wait:biggrin: maybe i need a loud whistle?

  4. even the backbody doesn't leak on the 110, it had 4inch of rainwater in it after last weekend.. i once put a tarp liner in my vauxhall brava and filled it with water (had to put an axlestand under the towbar) left it all day in the sun on a very hot day and by 4pm was nice and warm, mmm cheap pool, nice till the dog joined in then there were dog hairs everywhere..:thumbup: flooded the garden when i opened the tailgate too:blushing: its a picture thread so i should post a pic..

  5. always thought grafting could be a way to let the mischievous inner beast have its fun, for example whilst pruning a tree you could pop a graft somewhere in the crown to have a branch flowering/fruiting differently to the rest.. maybe a weeping ash graft onto a tall skinny ash? i have no idea exactly how its done but one day i will. :flute::creep: :aetsch:muahaha.. did hear ages ago the most different grafts on one tree is over 100.!:thumbup1:

  6. they all get stomped by me, dont care if i have bare feet, they arent going to get away to scare me ever again.. or if they are on the wall i use the womans trainers (haix are too awkward) and leave them stuck to the wall to ward off evil comer-in spiders..:2gunsfiring_v1::001_tt2:

  7. Would you defender drivers do this??

    :

     

    of course we would.. but only with a full load on board, them hi-caps float for fun if they aren't weighted down:thumbup:

    chris that's the seesaw at robinhoods bay isnt it? thats a fun site, saw a S3 roll down the quarry followed by two new discos on road tyres dragging their sidesteps over the rocks..:thumbup1:
