  1. falling behind with lots of jobs, but we need the rain but could do with some sun to warm the groud back up!!
  2. but it wouldn't be road registered by doing that, or am I missing something??
  3. doesn't that change require an SVA test these days? Might be very wrong though, bit out of touch with it all now I don't play with landrovers anymore.
  4. ha ha ha ha marketing at it's best!
  5. You may find you need an SVA test for it? Best thing to do is to get the Mrs to make you a brew and sit down and have a chat to dvla and see what they say!
  6. You should also be looking at cycle times as well, as the last thing you want is to be waiting ages for the ram to split and then return to its home position. It'll do your head in more than having a splitter with perhaps a bit less pressure and having to slice the odd log with the saw if it won't split first time! Just my pennies worth!
  7. Your right they don't, but probably won't be long!! Looks good, wonder how much 'twist' you'd get in a boom like that lifting unbalanced loads?
  8. merlo are the others, and if my memory from reading a recent farmers guardian they are both the same machine, merlo in landini colours. I could be wrong mind!
  9. think the words below his name came in just about time!!!
  10. We use the small bottles of sterile eye wash, like above about 25 for a tenner. I wouldn't use anything else in my eye, if you've just got something in your eye, chances are you've scratched the surface, so you want something sterile, and water ain't that!
  11. now thats what I call a post banger!! Wouldn't mind one of them in my shed, to play around with!
  12. An ocean liner on speed!!
  13. wonder what it handles like at top speed on a rough uk road??????
  14. probably cuz there on benefits and don't tell the tax man........or am I just a sinick?
  15. Who needs an expensive stump grinder when you can have this for just $350:lol: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqnvKRfc8bM&feature=related]stump burner demo1.wmv - YouTube[/ame]
  16. I've been to Russia on a couple of agriulture related jobs, and I have to say if they pulled their fingers out which some now are, they are going to be a serious force to be reckoned on.
  17. Spot on, couldn't agree more!!! Think i've learnt JV is only bad for my blood pressure!
  18. You were lucky enough to have a decent brick chimney, when i put our wood burner in four or five years ago now, I had to line the chinmey as it was pourous in a couple of places, so without taking down the whole stack through the middle of the house, I had no choice. So I think your theory sucks!
  19. So I seem to have learnt!!! Not usually in a tractor that time of day so i'm sure it won't be a problem in the near future!!! Andy, I have no problem and encourage people like yourself who are genuinely ill and cannot work to have a system to support you. But am surprised that seeing as you can't seem to get out the system now your fit too work seems daft and is what annoys me. I appreciate there are people and circumstances that prevent them being in employment. But there are too many people who claim they can't work or are just too lazy to work, and to suggest sending someone round to wake them up and get them going is just plain old tosh!! Its too easy for some to do nothing in this country, life is not easy, never will be no matter how much money you have or what lifestyle you lead. The more you have the more you have to lose!! I'm sure Sir Alan Sugar or Richard Branson would soon agree that even their wealth doesn't bring an easy life!
  20. Just been listening to Mr Vine in my tractor spreading slurry, he was taking a debate about how it has been suggested that having people to go around and wake people up and get them going in the morning would help them get them off benefits and help them adjust to working life. Is this country that barking mad and soft, or am I just an egotistical sadist thinking that this is a load of tosh and perhaps a little tough love may help more?????
  21. good luck with no hot tea for 24hrs!!!!! Cold tea sound appetising?
  22. Age 15, dentist found my lower wisdom teeth were growing on their side into my lower teeth. So had to have a general anesthetic to cut them out the jaw, the surgeon doing it said 'do you want me to take the top two out while I'm at it?' ......... Yeah why not, all done in one go me thinks! He sorted the pain with some little red pills, but the swelling meant I could only drink soup through a straw for 10days......... I'm not very keen on soup now for some reason! I hate the dentist, with a passion, hate it. But I go every six months on the dot, no way do i ever want to have to have serious teeth problems!!!! Hope its not too sore for the weekend!!! :thumbup:
  23. That sounds remarkably like what my wife tells me when shes cooking and i start stirring a pot for an excuse to stick my finger in and taste!!!:thumbup: I've been reading this thread, reframed from commenting, but am pleased to see your common sense prevailing over it!!!!
  24. nice tree, bet you don't find many treehouses at the top of one of them little fighters!!!!!
  25. hilarious!
