    Norfolk?

    I think there is a top job going spare for a company that produces boooooooootiful turkeys.
  2. Easy, shiney sharp things that are good for cutting stuff. I'm with him.

    Hand cream

    Gloves. How can you all be to manly too wear gloves, and then bleat on about hand cream. Kids......
  4. hillstarts not too bad as 1st is quite low, but reverse is geared too high for towing. honestly, get a disco.
  5. eeeerm, you could have a look through this.... http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/22725-landrover-freelander-td4.html most of it was posted yesterday
  6. On their own, even in deep sticky clay, I have too admit that they are surprisingly good off road. The one I am using only has silly road tyres on it, because that is all that fit the rims . However, the traction control trickery really does the trick. Of course, the ground clearance is pants...
  7. Got one. Don't do it. No low box. If you want to do any reversing a trailer up an incline, get used to the smell of burning clutch.
  8. Devon Winch based in (or near) Taunton. Whats the world coming to . I wonder where Somerset Winch would be based.
  9. This looks like the lyric to a song. Anyone got any song-writing experiance around here
  10. Nasty. I guess part of RM's office duties will be informing the HSE under the RIDDOR regulations due to more than 3 days away from normal duties. What a drag. Hope it all grows back nicely for you.
  11. Weeing on them is why they freeze in the first place. Put some antifreeze on your key.
  12. About 250 quid?
  13. On the tree end, I prefer a knot you can get to and untie quickly before someone sneds your rope. I think the tradition is a running bowline one end, and a normal bowline the other
  14. What on earth are you doing in Kent (other than Burr poaching). Jen says is it that you are still on the quest to find the perfect caramel shortbread?
  15. Lets just say that this was MY IDEA. I can't believe you ripped if off and posted it as your own. Then again, maybe it was a joint effort when we were sat in a Hilux overlooking Newgale whilst getting on Dan and Darrens nerves. Oh, and nice burrrrr by the way, sorry for the derail.
  16. Hi Stampy, Have you ever been to Pembs?
  17. You know, This years family holiday just has to be Huddersfield. I never really thought much about the place untill I started looking at arbtalk. From what I have seen (or read) it must just be th BEST place :-)
  18. Soooooooooooo, lets see if I have got this right. Having spent years thinking about it whilst my mind is left free to wander, I come up with a fantastic name (probably after one too many glasses of Pimms) and then I give it away to you free of charge hear and now. Yeeees, but it seems a little over generous on my part. I know, we could discuss a percentage of your pre-tax! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha
  19. :001_tt2:get outatown!, You arn't really shopping with the missu's, you are messing about on your phone with her while she shops. To go shopping properly, you have to give 100% attention and answer the trick questions properly. Strewth, you will be sloping off to the pub next......
  20. mmmmm. Gamey! I just cut the breast meat off them, nice and quick, and you can then get on with your evening. Just like little tiny cutlets, very dark - so nice in a rich stew (don't know recipies though, that bit isn't in my job description).
  21. Brilliant! A question thou... If it was a refresher, I guess you are experianced, and even already have a ticket. How did you find the training over two days?, was the length of the course ok, or did it drag on a bit? (I guess the wasps would have slowed things up a bit). Did your instuctor run out of stuff to talk about at about 11am on day 2? or was it 2 short days? Awaiting your views with interest
  22. I am glad you guys are taking the carbon thing seriously. So far we have had... Souping up an L200 Taking a Mog out for chips Thrashing the 4x4 to get it through the boggy bit at the bottom No time to think about carbon footprint. Still busy worrying about the Y2K bug and the hole in the ozone layer. Oh yeah, and acid rain, atomic war, running out of whales etc,etc,etc.
  23. If its used hard and constantly and lasts 3 years, its dosen't owe you much. How is your storage? after all, your harness doesn't have to go through any more than you do when you are wearing it. It it stored wet on a kit bag, or chucked amonst the tools in the back of a pickup, or crushed underneath other stuff in a foolwell? Do they ever go for a spin in the washing machine. Great harness though, had mine for (too many) years.
  24. You can't argue that helicopters get through the fuel. A combican, and a futher bowser in the back of the pickup.
  25. but don't overestimate them either!
