  1. @silky fox, that wasn't the first time we met,the first time we met was at Colchester North Station, its a romantic memory that will stay in my mind forever, and ever.
  2. Someone once said, remember the golden rule when subbing... He who's got the gold makes the rules. That doesn't mean you can't bin them and go elsewhere.
  3. Yes it is unreasonable, but as Dempsey says it's part of being a subbie. Last November I was approached by a company asking me to block three days a week out of my diary until Christmas, I got the three days and most of those 8-9 weeks I got five days a week, I'd dare bet if work had dropped off for them my guaranteed 3 days a week would have been soon forgotten.
  4. What's that saying (think it was @Big J), selling logs is selling the unprofitable to the ungrateful.
  5. Any MOT testers, or someone that knows for sure. Are marker lights part of the MOT?, I had it in my head that they weren't, or is a case of if they are fitted they must work?
  6. I don't get why she topped herself unless this was the straw that broke the camels back, I'd doubt she'd go to jail for common assault unless she's got previous form. Total waste of a young life.
  7. Keeping themselves in work, now that's initiative.
  8. Me too, a night on top of that would do me the power of good.
  9. I bought a new jacket yesterday, it was reduced from £240 to £50 due to it having a slight fault, apart from one arm being slightly longer than the other two I can't see anything wrong with it.
  10. My last place had the Stour behind it, fortunately there are flood/water meadows around the area. If the Stour goes into flood the flood gates open and flood the surrounding fields to save such things happening.
  11. Did the Teme burst it's banks or is that all storm water?
  12. Kin'ell Gary, where's that at?
  13. @AHPP, there's ya sale fella, get some pictures up.
  14. We had our fair share of those Paul, don't be a stranger if you're down this way.
  15. That's right, turned right at a no right turn junction, the coppers got me in the back of their car to show me the video, nothing dangerous, or due Care, I would have fought it if I had buckets full of money, due to the CPS evidence being rubbish.
  16. What year was it when me and you were coming up the A303 when that bus had a blow out in front of us? i believe plenty of cizzer had been consumed over the weekend.
  17. Sorry me old mate, was that 2013?
  18. You were there, cocker. That must be 7-8 years ago
  19. I'll tell you the story, plogs was selling a near new saw, Ian bought it, deal done, money changed hands after which I told Ian the saw was nicked (it wasn't), Ian went white and wanted his money back from plogs.
  20. Ask Ian if he's still got that wafty 660, he'll know what I mean.
  21. 13 years ago Persimmon's built 300 houses on a site like that in the next village over from where I used to live, they brought in thousands of ton of stone/gravel/top soil to raise the ground, they've never flooded... guess what happened upstream of the river Stour...
  22. It was a bit tongue in cheek.
  23. Recommendations please, I need about 20' of 6' high conifers taken down, chipped and stumps ground, all chip off site, near Sudbury, Suffolk. No pictures until Tuesday. Access is right next to the hedge. I can sort a tip site about 2 miles away. Anyone interested?
  24. It's an oldie, yet a goldie.
