  1. I've been a freelancer for ten years, there is no need for insurance. I also do some subby work which I do need insurance for. I know the detail.
  2. How often does that happen?, I work in many places/environments where having a phone is a total no no. We seem to get by ok.
  3. Rich's advice is sound as usual, he did miss a bit mind. LEAVE THAT POXY PHONE IN THE VAN until brew, lunchtime.
  4. If Chris Rea promised to drive home without singing that rubbish song I'd get my mate Slippery Jim to stick a MOT on his motor.
  5. Bent councillors, whatever next.
  6. I don't mind gutting my own fowl but I draw a line at gutting my own foul.
  7. Lockdown15 for a discount code just isn't on!
  8. Bottom link in Steve's signature.
  9. Good job either way, like the frame, like the top.
  10. Ta Les, never heard it called domino joint. That said I ain't a woodworker.
  11. If we are going down the Yorkshireman route I'll post this one again. A Yorkshireman's Whippet died. He decided to have a gold statue of it made as a tribute. So he says to the jeweller "eh up lad, can tha mek us a gold statue o' me Whippet?" "Certainly sir" says the jeweller, "would you like it eighteen carrat"? "Nay lad" says the Yorkshireman, "Gnawing on a bone will be fine".
  12. Like that, what's domino jointed?
  13. Tactics are to be too fast for the rabbit down the hole and start eating it creating you the job of digging the little bleeder out. Hobs tend to eat then sleep (lay up). Similar when a terrier won't/can't get out, you have more digging but this is usually because the dogs got stuck.
  14. Must be sickening, I'm told by the local lads who work on the local sugar beet factory that it's the same with beet, Silver Spoon know what they want/expect from all the farmers they deal with. If the farm has a bumper crop, tuff, the excess is going for feed. I've been told beet gets ploughed back in if there is no market for it.πŸ™„
  15. Yes, very badly worded. What I meant was the waste is criminal. I know nothing of dairy farming but I suggested keeping less cows, he pointed out to me that he had to take into account cows that were ill, or on medication don't produce, or is not fit for market.
  16. Small scale dairy farming is, or should be criminal in this country. We do some work at Hollesly Bay Colony, the 'main' pumping station there takes the local farm. The effluent in there is always white and causes odours when it's pumped off site. I went to see the farmer one day to ask him why he was putting milk down the drains, he replied, "I'm not big enough to get two tankers in, so if the cows produce more than one tanker full the rest goes down the drain".
  17. Wasn't Mark with Trust when his chipper got nicked a while back, or have I made that up? He maybe able to shed some light on how long it took to get paid out. @Mark Bolam
  18. Summed up nicely in just over two minutes.
  19. Sam it doesn't matter if you've got one of these, or one of them. I'm proof that some of us are w*nk at getting up trees on a rope. Ask @Mark Bolam Tosser.
  20. Cracker Bill, your skills know no end.
  21. Give me a minute or two, Les. Remember @difflock did say I wasn't the sharpest tool in the first aid box.
  22. Yep, got 4G which seems to be quick.
  23. I've got both, although the TV is in a draw. I don't see how I could view live boxing using an iPad mind.
