Man City for me too, since about 1993 and including the dark days of league 1 at Maine Road. Lived on Claremont Road in Moss Side for a short while you don't get much closer to the ground than that.

Land registry and the commons registers are two different things. Common land does not have to be registered at the land registry as belonging to someone. There is a guidance note from Defra somewhere on this.

Not normally a fan of practical jokes but I did hear of someone watering the carpet in a university bedroom when the occupant was away for the week, then spreading it liberally with cress seeds. Cue wavy green carpet... I guess it would work well in cars too.

How many Arborists does it take to change a light bulb?
djbobbins replied to coleman's topic in The Lounge
Or how much to quote for the job?! -
Depends how desperate your customers are / how much you are worried about your reputation?! Actually, I have a theory that wood that's been seasoned but then exposed to rain burns much better than green wood of the same moisture content, but I've got no scientific proof.

Not really an arb truck but I've pretty much been told my work car arrangements need to change. We are limited to only vehicles that emit less than 130g of CO2 per km, ie. for a diesel this means something that does about 56mpg or above (published, not real figures). For about the same money as a mid-range diesel Golf or Focus, I can get the dogs danglies Skoda Yeti Greenline, but only in 2wd form. I know Skoda build quality is meant to be much improved but have read some critical reviews on the yeti; whilst it won't be "my" car I could do without a whole load of visits to he garage to get niggling problems fixed. Anyone got, had or driven one and care to share your thoughts?

I'm in the 'burn it out' camp. But if you are not wanting to fill your house with smoke, how about going up on the roof with a piece of oily rag, light that and drop it down the chimney. Mind you, if your liner is knackered and this starts a fire in the chimney, that could end up being not at all pretty... But then I guess the same goes for any of the burning options.

Just got home from a walk in the sleet and breeze with wife and kids, front room very welcoming indeed!

My mother is 70 in may and is taking all her grandchildren and their parents to center parcs in France, then on to eurodisney. Might try and get back over to Germany in October too.

I'll hold fire then!

So before I spend three quid on the taps talk app, what difference will it make?

If you're of a nervous disposition and or a biker, you might want to give this one a miss. Nothing gory, just scary (IMO). [ame=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IxjhbtYwcpo]Moscow motorcyclist's crazy - YouTube[/ame]

Went there about six months ago when the National Trust had an open day. Made a nice change to some stately home.

How good is your German? It is a nice place to live and of course no work permit issues but the bureaucracy takes some getting used to. Try having a look on Toytown Germany - English language news and chat for stories and advice on life as an ex-pat.

Who has lowest gas bill of the year ours £250 nice
djbobbins replied to mendiplogs's topic in General chat
We do about £600 a year in oil. 4 bed detached with cavity wall, insulation, loft insulation and double glazing. And a dinky DRU44 which is providing evening and weekend heat. -
You can't order a stihl saw online from the us though. And if the us retail price is lower than wholesale here, then no amount of bartering will work. Are the saws made in the same factory to the same standards?
