So, anybody else feeling rough through no fault of their own (or the bottle...)? I was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever today, now on a 10 day course of antibiotics. Worst thing is that swollen tongue and throat means I can't eat much as it hurts too badly to do so, the itchy rash on my hands and face is following a very close second. Apparently there is a hell of a lot of bacterial conditions about at the moment, backed up by the fact the first chemist I went to was run right out of my prescription!

this was on jeremy vine yesterday aft, i only caught part of it was gonna listen on the iplayer, but not got that far yet. i think it's a case of "a man with a little knowledge is a dangerous thing", but you never know, could do the firewood trade no end of good! i mean if people are convinced that it's wet wood that causes the problem then with any luck that'll knock out the guys selling cheap unseasoned timber. waste of time trying to teach the masses which species spit and which are open fire safe (as a general rule)

International 684 restored (pics)
Chris Gagen replied to the crafty weasel's topic in Large equipment
she looks fantastic! great to see a proper tractor restored so nicely. looks from the original condition like you had a hell of a job on your hands, at least cosmetically! was she sound mechanically? I've got a 684 that came from your part of the country, well, was north wales. she arrived in a terrible state and for the most part still is, although she does stirling work on the saw bench and splitter! Good job weasel! -
haha, i've been asked that so many times now, I must get a video up... yeah i use a loader. trouble is you can bet your bottom dollar that when i do get round to filming it it'll all go bosoms up and i'll have to video it a 2nd time at least! would be interesting to find out if other loadhandler users have a different mechanical method of tipping the bags out, there is a trick to it to make sure you don't ruck up the drag sheet.
-
use the cubic meter bulk bags then tip loose into brava pickup with loadhandler fitted. works well for me!
-
great effort! i can see it was a close run thing not being firewood, see your processor champing at the bit in the background...

Mr Cadbury met Miss Rowntree on a Double Decker. It was After Eight. They got off at Quality Street. He asked her name. "Polo, I'm the one with the hole" she said with a Wispa. "I'm Marathon, the one with the nuts" he replied. He touched her Creme Eggs and slipped his hand into her Snickers. He fondled her Flap Jacks and she rubbed his Tic Tacs. It was a Fab moment as she screamed in Turkish Delight and he shot his chewy centre. But 3 days later his sherbert dib-dab started to itch.Turns out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Bassett and he's got Allsorts.......

i think so, but it really doesn't take long, will take longer uploading depending on the quality of the vid.

i looked into fuel express, they reckon they'd pay me £1 per bag (they supply the bags) but, i strongly suspect they'd want to be on 90 day credit terms... however, they will buy all year round but at around 80p out of season.

Discussion will always give rise to disquiet at some point, that's what makes it interesting. Lincoln's famous quote comes to mind here; "You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time..." There is seldom a day that I don't spend hours on here as my wife will attest to! I can honestly say I would feel lost without my daily dose of arbtalk, and to evoke threads like this without looking to is testament to the time, effort and commitment you and your mods inject into the forum. Keep it up! Chris

-
the thing i don't understand is why was the title changed from "idiot" to "muppet"??
-
I didn't like to say it.
-
love the way the title of this thread has now changed twice...

Congratulations Lancstree, you're a better driver on the day than I was. I failed mine 3 times over 3 years ago and haven't tried again since. Obviously I'm a crappy driver:blushing: still, having spent the last 14 years towing agricultural trailers I guess it's no surprise that I had problems on the tests...

steve what size skips are they? you not getting hold of full lengths of reject grade stuff any more?
-
sorry, meant to say i term it "lump-wood" not firewood...

I take waste timber from a staircase manufacturer for kindling production. I sell tight cubic meter bags of these offcuts for £60, I tell people that it's a firewood and rough kindling mix... works for me! But then I only have around 10 bags a year to shift. I have also sold to camp sites in net bags for use as camp firewood at £2.20 a bag. P.S. this is all I ever burn in my own stove too.

A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. He says, 'I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?' She says, 'Yes. My husband and I use it all the time.' 'And if you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for?' 'We use it for sex.' The researcher was a little taken back. 'Usually people lie to me and say that they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex. I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been frank so far, can you tell me exactly how you use it for sex?' The woman says, 'I don't mind telling you at all... My husband and I put it on the door knob and it keeps the kids out.' And you thought it was gonna be a dirty joke...! shame on you!!

exactly, is a bit weird relisting an item for more though...
