Le Sanglier

Thanks, one day I'll learn.

Good point.

Can someone provide the link to the article in today's Mail online by James Lovelock please? Thanks, I think it might be relevant, and I don't know how.

I saw it, and found it useful, even though most of the things I knew or did not know I knew! couple of good pointers there.

Yes something funny about this, been knocking around for a long long time.

Ah, I was wondering how you were getting on with it, I think the complexity and cost of repair is something that scares a lot of people out of buying one. Me included!

You were misinformed.

Sort of what I was thinking.

Good pics, really capture a days work. Gave me a laugh.

Well done, despite what some others may say owning your own house is briiliant.

Has the base been damaged at all by someone strimming around it?

Strimmer damage?

Thank you for your permission:001_smile: This thread has in various forms appeared countless times before, so I make no apology for derailing it. (it's all been said before) So I ask you, if you can, to put to one side global warming, true or false, whatever. Whenever this comes up the same sort of language comes to the surface. Angry Mother Earth will wipe us out. We Have been bad/greedy/immoral. We Must lead a more simple life. lots of links to men in suits in rooms full of people predicting our doom if we do not change our ways. and written documents spouting pseudo science twisted to suit. People professing virtue by boasting about their self sufficiency/carbon offsetting. Ring any bells? yep, you got yourself a full blown religion. Now very few young people nowadays, and in our culture would want to be seen as religious but it seems a need exists to have fear of an armageddon of some sort meted out by an angry god to punish our sinful ways. The climate change debate brings them in their droves. Right I'm off to throw a maiden into a volcano. Or buy English apples I can't decide which is more effective. Mick

We've always got to be worrying ourselves sick and blaming ourselves for something. I have always thought that those who spend their time proselytizing about World's End etc, would be the same people who, in another time (or culture) would be religious zealots exhorting us to feel terrible about ourselves and wear a hair shirt all day.

He will certainly help keep a bit of possession.

Great result! Well done, rode our luck a bit but deserved a point.

I would certainly take a draw now.

Ok all you football haters please don't bother yourselves, just look away:001_tt2: As an expat and a massive footy fan please boys give us a result against the French, then I can go down the bar with my head held high. Glad to see The Ox start. Mick

Beautifully put!

I quite like the smell, never cleaned a helmet yet (insert double entendres here)

wrapping rope around their waste? smelly and unhygenic!

The thread's picking up speed nicely, informative and accessible. Thanks.

Too drunk to get it, class diagram though!

Not frustrated, just a bit bewildered, no offence but can you get on with it please! pulleys...check, ropes....check. let's go! smiley face.

I admit not unamusing, and as someone who used to do prank calls when drunk perhaps a bit of karma.
