    Check out Classic hand tools and their King Arthur range of Holey Galahads. i got one of the first ones a few years ago at the Festival of the tree at westonbirt. they didnt know how much to charge for the only two in the country so i got them both for £60. however Mike asked me to do a couple of demos with them in return. good bit of kit.

    Hi all expats in Brittany. I hope to be going to Brittany at the end of the month for a week to do some work on my mates house. any of you guys want me to bring any stuff out, i.e. tea bags, marmalade etc. his house is between Josselin and Pleugriffet, you will have to come to me and collect. Space is fairly limited so no big items or a weekly shop.

    Get some 25mm chip board then put some 18mm or thicker plywood on top. the ply will absorb any oils and the chip board will help absorb any impact.

    I find that as you get towards the end of the cut you do the following: bring the far end of the mill round so its cut half way through the end, bring it back then take the head end round to meet the cut, bring that back and place wedges behind the bar and then take mill out.

    L200 advice

    Bob Slade replied to jose's topic in Arb-Trucks

    You shouldn't need manual/automatic hubs because you can drive them using just the rear wheels. has it got a cover for the back because the wind drag on the tail gate will drop your mpg. I did a run up to a place near Lockerbie (600 mile round trip)last year with the equivalent weight of three adults, kept it at around 2000 revs and got there and back on a full tank, did a further 25 miles before the fuel warning light came on.(this gives me a further 70 miles at around 35mpg) the computer said i was getting about 48mpg on the motorway.

    L200 advice

    Bob Slade replied to jose's topic in Arb-Trucks

    i've got an L200 double cab on an 06 plate and love it. went to insure it at a new insurer and they said it was worth £9k. only paid £6K two and a half years ago with a full service history and 82k on clock. so go for it.

    Jokes???

    Bob Slade replied to brownie1964's topic in The Lounge

    A guy thought his wife was cheating on him. So he waited for her to leave that night and jumped in a cab to follow her. By following her he found out she was working in a whorehouse. The guy says to the cabbie, "Wanna make a £100?" The cabbie says, "Sure, what do I have to do?". The guy replied that all the cabbie has to do was go inside the whorehouse and grab his wife and put her in the back of the cab and take them home. So the cabbie goes in. A couple of minutes later the whore house door gets kicked open, and the cabbie is dragging this woman out who is kicking, biting, punching, and fighting all the way to the cab. The cabbie opens the door to the cab, throws the girl inside, and tells the man, "Here hold her!!" The man looks down at the girl and says to the cabbie, "THIS AIN'T MY WIFE". The cabbie replied, "I KNOW, IT'S MINE; I'M GOING BACK IN FOR YOURS!!"

    This is a true story: Dear Agony Aunt, Last night i received a text which initially pleased me. It read as follows. Hi sexy. How are you, what have you been up to, doing anything good. Steve x To which i replied: Hi Steve, your first sentence pleased me no end but then you had to spoil it by calling yourself Steve x. however since you asked i am sitting in front of the fire in my underpants roasting my nuts (chestnuts) Bob. The thing is the rotten sod hasn't texted me back and i was wondering why. could it be. (a) the vision of me in my underpants roasting my nuts in front of the fire. or (b) because i didn't put a X after my name.
