Cheers but I've picked up a little 2 day job indoors, plastering.

iPhone all day long.

On it now typing this post.

Had mine 16 months, get the new 3gs very soon.

It's the dogs danglies, wouldn't be without it.

I've been a builder most of my working life and started out as a hod carrier so I know what graft is when I see it.

Mick sorted me a load of logs again today () but I didnt split em till I got home.

I spent about 2 hours humping bloody great 'discs' up steps into my garden and then splitting how Mick showed me to do it. ie, properly!!

I am well and truly...........erm...........shall we say.....tired!!!!

Feel like I've been beaten up.

So,credit where credit is due and top respect to all you blokes that do it day in, day out.

Looks like I got to this one a bit late.

I'm a builder but I fit log burners now and then as a contractor.

Basically, all the above info is spot on.

Follow the above advice and you wont go wrong.

that was so funny!

 

they have some balls you've got to admit....

"According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960’s era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting “you’re murderers” to passers by."

 

this bit made me laugh the most....

 

"Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”"

The Burger eating and farting on heads was my fave bit too, it conjours up some great images dont it.

Still laughing now thinking about it again.

Absolutely nothing to do with trees what so ever, copied from another (bike) forum but I'm sure theres blokes on here that will laugh as much as I did.

what do you think to the chestnut then? i have tons and tons of the stuff.

Its total crap really and no good what so ever so you best just give it all to me.

Seriously though,

It takes quite a bit of air to keep it going and its best to split even the smallest bore of logs to give the fire a sharp edge to grab on to, if you know what I mean.

Apart from that its fine.

I get conifer from Mick, I'll agree that it does burn a bit quick but I simply lower the air intake to the stove and it smoulders away lovely.

When I cant hook up with Mick I get hold of some Chestnut, and IMO the conifer is better.

I have no probs burning conifer at all, but then I do get it for a bargain price,

absolutely FA so cant grumble at that!!

I've burnt pallets and decking before, now that does burn fast!!!!!!

if its in a log burner (as opposed to an open fire) shut all the air intakes off.

David Blunkett was lent a cheese grater......

Said it was the most blood thirstiest book he'd ever read:lol:

It was bucketing down with sleet here at 4am (Sittingbourne, Kent)

and now its 2.5c now (10:10)

Everything is dripping at the moment so fingers crossed and hopefully back to work tomorrow.

My Missus reckons we aint out of the woods yet though.

Dunno what she means though as we live on a main road in a town??!!

I'll get my coat.

Cool, nice find.

I would suggest you've lost the deposit but no harm in asking.

out of curiosity, why you got a pic of my missus as your avatar?

A 70-year-old man goes to the doctor's for a physical.

The doctor runs some tests and says to the man, "well, everything seems to be in top condition physically, but what about mentally? How is your connection with God?"

And the man says, "oh, me and God? We're tight. We have a real bond, he's good to me. Every night when I have to get up to go to the bathroom, he turns on the light for me, and then, when I leave, he turns it back off."

Well, upon hearing this the doctor was astonished.

He called the man's wife and said, "I'd like to speak to you about your husband's connection with God. He claims that every night when he needs to use the restroom, God turns on the light for him and turns it off for him again when he leaves. Is this true?"

And she says, "that idiot, he's been pissing in the fridge!"

Do people with Alzheimers get Deja Vu?

A middle aged woman decides to spice up her and her husbands sex life so promptly goes out and buys a pair of crutchless knickers.

That evening after doing dinner, washing up and putting the kids to bed she comes down to the front room and dims the lights where hubby is watching TV.

She sits on the sofa opposite..................opens her dressing gown slowly................... and parts her legs revealing her new crutchless knickers.

The old man peers across while straining his neck forwards............after a moment of straining his eyes he says

"Are they crutchless drawers you got on?"

"Yes" she replies all seductively.

"Thank Christ for that, I thought the sofa had split"

a friend of mine worked on this case & all is not as it seems in the press

 

after dragging the intruder to the ground in the street both the man & his brother hit him in the head with the bat.

 

The defence was poor & the defendent made every mistake going when he made his poliece statement/interview & then in court, if he had ran a better defence he may have stood a chance. "as my client ran down the street after the intruder my client continued to fear for his & his families life perceiving the intruder to be collecting a weapon, as he dragged him to the ground the intruder reached repeadedly into his trousers which my client perceived etc. etc."

 

intruders have been shot dead or injured by home owners in the uk, whilst (arguably) fleeing the property un-armed & no charges have been brought upon the home owner! but taht doesn't sellnewspapers!

 

know the law, knowlege is power

SPOT ON.

While you all keep going on about the Police, remember the Police only enforce the law. Many PC's (foot soldiers at the sharp end) are VERY frustrated at how their hands are tied.

A lot of old bill join young after doing a year at McDonalds and then become trapped in the job that they end up hating because there is very little else they can do for the same money and by this time they have mortgages like the rest of us.

Some who join later in life after getting a trade are able to say "Bollox to this, I resign"

I know loads that would leave................. if they could.

Probably due to the increased popularity of log burners recently.

These yuppie types who dont like getting their manicured hands dirty have money to burn, literally!

Once id cut the fat off a joint of beef they had today!

Always feed the birds, like to watch em.

Bread with english mustard on is good to watch.

BIG thanks to my BIG brother Mick for donating a good 50-60 squids worth of his hard earned quality logs that he has pugged away at his yard.

Even though I went with him and done the splitting (Mick aint very good at it, its an age thing:001_tt2:) its still very appreciated.

Nice one Bruv.

My burner is currently roaring a good'un, Ummm!

Jellystock.

I had to post this 'Big me up post' as a condition of having the logs! Dont tell him I told you though.

ON DRAGONS DEN even, Doh!

Thats my Fave country singer of all time and thats one of his (well, Jimmy Webbs) best songs.

Great Vid to go with it too.

WOW, how clever is that?

Take 30 perfectly good bags and spend 6 hours turning em into ONE perfectly good bag!

You should get Dragons on Den!

Jellystock.

Tell em where to go mate, dont have experience of this particular firm but we (midkent builders) get that type of thing from time to time.

Just office divs acting as an agency trying to claw money out of your pocket!

I certainly wouldnt entertain anything like that.

Give me £200 and I'll pass on all the tree work that I get in my local area!

I've just offered you the same deal, what dya think?

Jellystock.

Glad I didnt go, wheres the scaffold?

Level 12? there are 9 games per stage so do you mean stage 12 or games 3 stage 2?

Stage 12, level 7.

Can't suss it for the life of me!!!

Don't worry, still all six on both hands, and nicely webbed too!

Shouldnt you be on the other side of the estuary on the IOS?

Smashed a finger with my trowel once, wouldnt want an axe anywhere near my fingers!
