  1. snowflake alert!, saying someone (in jest) using a silky is a mincer is now homophobic. I thought we are, on the whole, grown ups who can take and understand a bit of banter at times and still get along just fine?
  2. Couldn't be much closer @agg221
  3. There's a bloke about this parish that seems to have a good reputation for building arborist websites.
  4. UK police or American? I did read someone on one of the local faceache pages raving about it yesterday, I lost interest very quickly.
  5. Is this something on one of those TV things you speak of?
  6. “There is an old story of a boilermaker who was hired to fix a huge steamship boiler system that was not working well. After listening to the engineer’s description of the problems and asking a few questions, he went to the boiler room. He looked at the maze of twisting pipes, listened to the thump of the boiler and the hiss of the escaping steam for a few minutes, and felt some pipes with his hands. Then he hummed softly to himself, reached into his overalls and took out a small hammer, and tapped a bright red valve one time. Immediately, the entire system began working perfectly, and the boilermaker went home. When the steamship owner received a bill for one thousand dollars, he became outraged and complained that the boilermaker had only been in the engine room for fifteen minutes and requested an itemized bill. So the boilermaker sent him a bill that reads as follows: For tapping the valve: $.50 For knowing where to tap: $999.50 TOTAL: $1,000.00” At the end of the day, education will most likely help you to find-a-job, while education combined with {insight x creativity} will enable you to define your future. Point-to-remember: Lots of folks can & do “tap the valve” – very few know precisely where to tap & why. Be that tapper.
  7. It's not you, we can have a row amongst ourselves. In fact @kevinjohnsonmbe can have a row in an empty room
  8. Why didn't you give that advice in the first place rather than try to hoodwink someone who wouldn't know what could happen if a TO was contacted.
  9. Not my style Les, oh, I forgot the demanding money with menaces, that along with the assault would pretty much guarantee a custodial sentence.
  10. I think M has got three options: 1, do nothing. 2, report it to the police... if B thinks the old bill would do anything about M working while he's claiming benefits he is kidding himself- they would only be interested in the assault. 3, M gets his mates together and goes round to give B the hiding of his life.
  11. You couldn't make it up, yet the Tories are more popular than ever, in the poles... I think the vaccine gives short term memory loss.
  12. I'd take the cash but I understand why some companies won't, after all you never know who you are dealing with... If I was a tax inspector I'd try it on witn every tradesman who darkened my doorstep.
  13. Or they could get in two separate companies that know what they are doing.
  14. Sir, you're pushing the boat out there!, Thanks all the same.
  15. This went right over my head, I'm not "in the club", club.
  16. It was a tongue in cheek comment, strangely I feel no different than I did yesterday.
  17. I don't know if to celebrate or cry, either way I'm officially a member of the club.
  18. I guess that's what's called tradition?, just carry the fecking coffin like normal, and yes I do mean normal people would. It's a celebration of life, not death. Get the box in the ground/fire, that's when the wake starts and people start to reminisce.
  19. Fancy another night of rioting and looting?
  20. You're not having much luck first link server not found, second link try's to load but times out.
  21. Shit job but someone's got to do it...
  22. Narrowboats have one tank for red diesel which is used for propulsion and heating etc, you pay full duty on 60% of diesel for propulsion, the other 40% for heating etc is duty free.
  23. No it shouldn't be white for propulsion of a narrowboat, if it was how would people people get white to the boat?
  24. As @Canal Navvy says the normal split 40/60% the 60% paid for propulsion is full rate.
  25. Fuel for propulsion of a power boat is not duty free.
