  1. yeah eat them, mmm salad'y. scots is nice, kinda bluey colour needles and good firewood, damn sticky though..
  2. makes them louder too, we put ours back in as the noise was doing our heads in..
  3. is exhaust restricted rob? all gummed up inside, not sure what that model is like but had trouble with other trimmers fouling up mesh in exhaust.. heat up with torch and wirebrush to clean..
  4. flammulina velutipes, birch polypore and friends (meaning i still cant find my fungbook)..
  5. daldinia concentrica and a king alfreds cakestand..
  6. cant help you except to snigger at your pain, i havnt had a wetshave for about 9yrs, i just get the nice lady at the hairshop to give me a crownlift with the electric shears every so often.
  7. a few years ago a mate of mine built me a website using a couple of my pics and the rest from flikr, even all the writing bit is his own doing, needless to say i wince everytime i see them and read the writing, i have never advertised my website and won't do until i find someone to do the necessary adjustments but recently a few people have said they got me to do the work because they liked my website haha, wierd eh? i think i wouldnt have a good case to argue if someone used my pics but if they are on the web they can easily be used by anybody.
  8. bit of ethically sourced string? or maybe two bits, one round each end with a bit between them as a handle? can't help you with any knots though sorry..
  9. i'd tie laces together and throw them up a tree to mark my territory:001_tt2: glad you didnt cut through them.
  10. scroll down to bottom of this page, do it now haha, click on user cp, should be in there somewhere..
  11. i hear good things but cant see them..
  12. didnt get up for this one, woman went to door to get pic for me..
  13. 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..
  14. what were you doing on the floor covered in birdseed?
  15. 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..
  16. 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..
  17. 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.
  18. does (scrape) it go (scrape) any higher (ssccrraaaape)?
  19. how did you finish them off? shovel? kingpin radial? or chucking them on the fire like bald ed's boss?
  20. cool idea, dont think they will stick to landies though..
  21. 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.
  22. right here we go finally["]http://www.allan-lake.com/index.php
  23. he's not wrong, big ones are ok, small one looks ruined..
