  1. I don't understand, her leggings don't seem to have any pockets, but there's defiantly something stashed in there
  2. Don't forget quarries and sawmills have had to change to white diesel. Even the forklifts in builders merchants will be on white now. A local place does crushed stone for circa £20/ton 🤐
  3. Ask driver for details (cos the passenger aint got a clue!)
  4. Are the reds shaggable too then? Asking for a friend.
  5. As a change from people discussing their tax returns, have this........
  6. Talking to a local honey producer, he puts a few hives in an area with mature limes, and he said you can actually notice a lime green tint in the honey! They also put hives up in the hills to make heather honey, which sells for a higher price....

  8. I don't know either splitter sorry, but you'd need a hell of a genny to run one! Even on the mains, for 3kw working away for hours, you need to have a decent electric connection. The less powerful splitter has a slightly smaller motor and slightly higher speed. And 110kg vs 171kg. That means a load more metal in the bigger splitter, but a lot more effort if you want to drag it about by hand!
  9. Was talking about this type of hinge with someone recently. Would the bottom socket have been a bit of tube/pipe, or a stone with a dimple carved for it to sit in? In a rural setting, with wooden posts, ie not a paved driveway?
  10. A few years ago- I lost a rake. Just one of those cheap leaf ones with a large plastic head and a wooden handle, but it was a nice rake, so I was gutted. As with most of my hands tools it had a bit of bright paint and my initials. Searched high and low for it. Was even starting to wonder if someone had taken it from outside my (previous) house!! Never trusted that guy who lived up the track. Couldn't remember when I last had it. About 6 months after losing it, I was back working in someone's large garden. Low and behold there was my rake, lying in the leaves/long grass, right next to where I would always park my van! Made my day! the householder didn't even know it was there. ......and both man and rake lived happily ever after

    Jokes???

    A friend of mine recently passed away suddenly next to a blocked urinal. At least it was piss-full.
  12. Here's hoping! And second hand vans too!!
  13. With the prices some second hand trailers have been going for, they don't seem that good value compared with new. Especially if it ends up needing tyres, brakes etc. And you don't know if it's legit... Disadvantage with new is there might be a bit of a wait.

    Nah, it wasn't the arrival of the engineer that causes the pot holes, it was the arrival of the motor car......
  15. I've had the fruit trees from poundstretcher for a similar price (probably come from same nursery as tesco etc!), all but one have survived. They've not got them in yet this year, I'm keeping an eye out Plums are fine but the rest probably aren't the most suitable varieties and rootstocks for the north of Scotland, particularly out of town!
  16. Waiting for one of these to appear on withams, should be handy for tree felling
  17. Free firewood, just needs collecting. Ideally in the dark 'Europe's oldest' wych elm tree falls down in Beauly Priory WWW.BBC.CO.UK The 800-year-old tree at Beauly Priory had succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease. Google Maps WWW.GOOGLE.CO.UK Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.
  18. .....master of none If you have nearly an hour spare: (can't tell if it's real or a spoof) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ckVGEffs7U&t=0s
  19. 15k is nothing, some folks would spend that on a boob job and a holiday I've always liked the look of the eastonmade splitters, they look like they're well built. My only gripes with them would be at 4ft wide I wouldn't want to tow it behind the van, I think a conveyor attached to it that folds out would be handy, and a diesel engine. Post up pics and vids when you get it!

    Jokes???

    I went to the sperm bank today and the nurse asked me if I wanted to masturbate in the cup. I thought about it for a moment and replied, "I'm good, but not quite ready for a competition yet."

    Jokes???

    I went to the dentist today for my usual check-up and she said "First things first lift your tongue up, that's great now move it to the left, great and now to the right, lovely." After 20 minutes of this she pulled up her knickers and said "Now get in the chair and we'll have a look at those teeth".
  22. I was looking at that, they call it a "mid torque", obviously not as powerful at the bigger half inch drive, but more compact for awkward spots? Is it powerful enough for van wheelnuts and the like?
  23. It's probably another thread in itself, but if you were chipping for biomass, especially not in the woodland where the trees grew, it would be hard to call it forestry, and should be white diesel?
  24. Seems a funny idea to me
