Just wondering if anybody has used the Clipex fencing system Clipex Fence Solution | McVeigh Parker Got about 150m of fence to replace with no machinery access and the slope is very steep so got to hump the gear in and do the job manually. Clipex seems to tick the boxes as far as ease of installation and also seems relatively easy to move it at a later date which is a definite posibility in 3 or 4 years time. Grateful for thoughts on Clipex or suggestions for an alternative approach to the job.

yup, they still have about 25% market share apparently, but are used to a bigger share of the pie. Modern economics is a strange beast which defies logic and common sense - it leads everybody to expect continual growth and yet we live in a finite world. Something has to give somewhere as growing populations cannot keep the numbers going up to a sufficient degree, so the squeeze goes on producers and suppliers. Beyond that, modern accounting practices are twisted and turned to fiddle the figures to best effect. All governments need to crack down on this ............... um, silly me, of course they wont as the governments are some of the worst offenders at cooking the books All we can do is vote with our feet on this one and support the small local producers and shops. Unfortunately, for the most part people are either too lazy, too ignorant, too short term thinking, just too short of cash to pay the bit extra or in too much of a rush to make a significant difference.

once you have given it a go there doesnt seem to be much pain - quite the opposite - everything works better and if you lapse a bit as most of us do from time to time you start feeling crap again going back on the old foods. I was open to the psycological arguements where it might just be that someone is motivated and therefore feels better, but have been doing it for a good few months now and think I can discount that- in my case at least. Dont really miss a lot of things I thought I would. Terry

:lol: yes I am sure they would be - having ordered fire wood love these innocent little typo's

haha, the children would love that..... but they would have to be quick to beat me up the ladder

Also been doing this for a while - but not very strict. Mainly cut out the carbs and snacking on processed rubbish by 90-95%. Didnt have much weight to lose, but what had accumulated disappeared very quickly and I am back to the same weight I was through my twenties & thirties. The most notable difference is significant improvement in energy levels. An analogy I would use is a cork popping out a a bottle of bubbly! Also no longer feel bloated unless I have a few naughties like bread, spuds, pasta etc, but the discomfort it causes if I have any more than a small portion keeps me on the straight and narrow and really shows you that your body does not want this stuff. Sugar is just a drug - the more you have the more you want. Conversely, the more you cut it out the less you miss it. Our bodies absolutely do not need refined processed sugar. Sell your Tate & Lyles shares quick!! Been doing a lot more exercise and cant believe the energy and rapid recovery. Biggest problem I have found is the cider - do love the stuff, so have compromised with a few pints twice a week and an occasional blowout - as a few seem to have done at the APF As others have said, this is not a diet, but a way of life. Once you have adjusted shopping, daily routines etc etc it just replaces what you did before. @IC TREES - the basic premise of the paleo diet is going back to the sorts of foods we survived on as hunter gathers. Our bodies evolved for a long long time on such foods so the theory is that our bodies will function better by eating in this way.

love this sort of thing. Imagine the hours of painstaking attention to detail working out the mechanism and then actually making it to function smoothly.

the mill in the OP looks similar to the new woodmiser offering called a 'Timbery' I think and think I saw it in a mag for a similar price. Think it is imported from the states as well and some of the pictures look very similar from memory - just a different colour - will have to see if I can find the mag.

nice job PS if all the hooks were identical I would suspect they were made in a factory rather than hand made

cheers Steve/Alec will have to get on to Rob for the gear and get cracking although it will be October before I can get to it. Got to get the 076 fettled as well. Hopefully get some pictures up once I am done. Got a half decent stick of ash to do as well to get me into the swing.

out with the boy on the mountain bikes yesterday and not really watching what I was doing and came a cropper on a jump - over the handle bars and got a few good roasties on my hip back and hands and big bruises down the leg on some pretty rough gravel Wouldn't be so bad if we wernt off to France tomorrow camping

cheers Alec, was looking at doing it in the autumn and stacking in the wood till next year when I will be able to extract it. It is near the bottom of a steep hill so well out of drafts etc. Hadnt thought about thin stickers - any danger of restricting airflow too much?

was wondering about the drying. How do I dry it slowly? Was thinking of just air drying it.

I believe turners like it, but the stick seems a good size and will give it a go - going to be a while before I get to it - got to get the alaskan first

Anybody had a go with some hawthorn? Got biggish stem that came down during line clearance and thinking of giving it a go when I get an Alaskan. Makes good firewood, but the timber does seem like it might make some good boards.

He only has to match your contribution up to a certain percentage - in my case the company will match up to a maximum of 5% - ie, they will match the first 5% of my wages should I choose to put it in. Dont really know much about the pension market, but I believe this is supposed to be a decent contribution?

doubt it - direct competition - albeit small - for the companies paying full wack for a stand and hoping to sell their new machinery. Any second hand item sold is potentially one less new machine sold.

MATTMOSS - guerrilla tree planter where's the like button

Renault......Reliable The only reason these two words are anywhere near each other is alphabetic chance rather than mechanical performance - in my experience

mmmmm takes me back to childhood - grew up with a lot of mulberries and other fruit trees all over the place

:lol: Funnily enough, my boy and his mate wont cut their hair because they think the girls prefer it long. Mind you, they wont admit this as they are only 8 & 9, but they were overheard discussing the vexing issue :lol:

Had a few orders off them and tried a number of others and it is good quality biltong

As Steve said - nothing to replace. Humans seem to have got into the habit of stuffing their guts with loads of food for some reason, when what the body needs is the right nutrients. All the pasta, bread, rice and spuds etc are just fillers to make us think we are full, whereas they contribute very little nutritionally and just go in one end and out the other and potentially with a few side effects as well. Eat the right foods for your body and you wont be hungry and you would be surprised how much less volume you need to eat to be satisfied. Hunger in this country is actually just nutrient deficiency from eating highly processed food with no nutrients in it. The body is calling for nutrients and we just keep shovelling the same dead shite in our gobs so the cycle continues.

also thought hazel, but not 100% convinced
