  3. a couple from my travels..
  4. i hear good things but cant see them..
  5. didnt get up for this one, woman went to door to get pic for me..
  6. wanted another quote for covering chipper etc, tried among others NFU, they said they would call back weeks ago and didnt help at all, today nipped into local office and wasted loads of time waiting to be told they dont actually cover chippers etc unless i have other insurance policies with them, guy said he had turned away 3 other arbs in last month too, dont think i'll ever call them again for anything..
  7. what were you doing on the floor covered in birdseed?
  8. wasn't my idea sadly, my father in law designs and model tests pumpingstations and reservoirs and every time a drought is on he gives the same line, as well as a few forgotton reasons explaining the facts n stuff. theres a lot of peat getting washed off our hills, a couple of years ago i helped national trust dig bales of heather into watercourses on marsden moor to try to trap peat from washing off, hopefully it will build up in these areas and plants hold it together..
  9. soft southern grass needs water eh? our tough yorkshire grass makes ya legs bleed when ya wearing short pants and is lucky if it gets peed on in summer..
  10. how about digging all the peat out of the reservoirs so lots of water would fit in instead? should get criminals to do it cos prisons are overcrowded.. drought pah! had to wring me tshirt out today from rain.
  11. cool haha (both of you)
  12. does (scrape) it go (scrape) any higher (ssccrraaaape)?
  13. how did you finish them off? shovel? kingpin radial? or chucking them on the fire like bald ed's boss?
  14. cool idea, dont think they will stick to landies though..
  15. Allan is putting me a pricelist together for all items so will pm prices in a couple of days, these are all individually handcrafted and a lot of skill and time (usually weeks for each item) goes into the creation of each piece. everything is finished to perfection even the backs and underneaths and will last for future generations to enjoy. some items were commissioned by clients and are not available but similar items can be crafted, all items in my original post are currently available.
  16. right here we go finally["]http://www.allan-lake.com/index.php
  17. he's not wrong, big ones are ok, small one looks ruined..

  23. sharm is ace, must have gone same time of year as liam, it went dark early really fast.. my sister teaches english in taipei and sent me these pics of the local tree team, check out what the truck is called..
  24. bummer missed topgear 2nd wk in a row..
  25. i usually pay someone to sharpen and clean my machines, it makes them some money and saves me having to have a dedicated workbench / compressor set up all the time, they are all ready fuelled and sharp for me. and i'd rather be doing other things with my time..
