  1. Sommat recently, a food related story, caused me to comment to the wife; "Bread and Circus" will continue to keep the masses happy, i.e. mass-produced, heavily advertised, read-to-eat, proper-shite food and celebrity related news. Nowt has changed from the time of the Romans, incl that unfortunately emphirically true statement attributed to JC(no, the other one, the origional JC) "The poor will always be with us". or The more things change, the more they stay the same.
  2. Ye proper nailed it Sur!
  3. Why, was DA actually shaggable when younger?, on tother hand perhaps her boss was blind, drunk and just desperate, enough?
  4. Erm, I had and have considered this very logical re-cycling solution, but ah baint got no more scrap to sell, well 'cept the 1998 Galaxy, but her be a parked-up lifetime sentimental keeper. Having just last week cashed in my stash of non ferrous, for the princely sum of £320.00. Most of it hand picked from lorry loads of hardcore. cheers marcus
  5. Blonde? Big knockers? Drives an Audi? Hard to credit otherwise.
  6. I continue to be appalled by the apparent hypocrisy of most other people, i.e. the fallacy that blue bin waste is recycled, when in fact it was most probably was shipped to China via Germany, merely exporting our pollution. The best example was displayed on top of the Cam mountain, signs nailed to the telephone poles stating " No dump here",(because there was a planning application to turn a nearby quarry into a landfill site) said sign directly above a collection of black bins. And there would have been absolute uproar if these black bins were to remain unemptied, i.e. these concerned citizens emphatically wished to export their waste "somewhere else". How the fornication do people not see or understand this inherent hypocrisy. So, yes, burn the plastic/cardboard/paper waste, it is simply the least worst option, and burn it near centres of population, because; 1. they produced it! and 2. It is the best way of monitering adherence to flue emissions. and 3. The waste heat can be used for district heating or glasshouses. Simples. Or it should be.
  7. Our bins only goes out the lane about every 6 months, one filled with misc unburnable stuff, the other purely full of empty steel/tin cans. All else goes up the flue, the cardboard and paper help light the fire and minimal quantity of plastics, mostly bottles, being added after the fire is well established. marcus
  8. Gosh darn it , ah near typed untermensch in error?
  9. Cough, cough; Except of course JRM, and in fairness, Frank Fields also. P.S. How are Labour, the party of the working class, as I always understood, going to dissassociate themselves from our present burgeoning scrounging benefits abusing underclass, that are now a greater threat to the prosperity of the working man, and the UK as a functioning country, than the upper classes ever were. marcus
  10. Sniff, tis a wile pity my 40 acres is nowt but Conifer, and mostly windthrown Lodgepole at that, cos otherwise I ud be a squillionaire! Sigh.
  11. I discussed this subject with a very experienced old Forester about 25 years ago, but I was asking why Germany and France could grow arrow straight Oak and Beech, unlike in N Ireland. Never mind the Scandanavian Conifers. Despite his knowledge and experience he could offer no answer. And this subject still perplexed and vexes me. Is it the ground, or the climate or indeed the culture? Or what? Marcus
  12. Now that Blacksplitter kit concept makes sense KJ, I like it. Marcus
  13. Formulating autosomal/incorrect on this Kindle. That masterpiece should have been and was typed as "larger piece", And the first word of the above paragraph was certainly not formulating, nor was the 2nd autosomal! Schemes! Scheesh
  14. And, like! Ever the pragmatist me! Wot will it cost to replace a masterpiece of glass, especially if curved. Marcus
  15. No idea, but having googled "Slanetrac" is the brand, and various UK based dealers came up for Slanetrac. Cheers Marcus
  16. Thanks HK
  17. Yes an area where water ponds, the area paved being "dead" flat, hence pavers used, and yes a good stiff brushing is the answer, and I was pondering how to rig a hydraulic driven wire bristle rotary brush, the same as road sweepers use. Probably Kioto loader mounted, since the wee 50HP Kioti has good oil flow, though not wile handy or manouverable, but still workable with the creeper gearbox. I sourced one for the Avant , brand name "Slanetrac" I seem to recall, that I bought for the Council, for scouring the brick paver caravan bays at a Council caravan site, bloody brilliant after 20 odd years of doing it by hand.
  18. I.e. not so much grouting as treating with whatever product that will mostly prevent moss and grass and weeds growing in the joints. After re grouting with silica sand. So what product is best? Cheers Marcus
  19. http://www.spam-uk.com/competitions/ https://iremit.com.au/what-is-spam-and-why-are-filipinos-obsessed-with-it/
  20. Rings must have been badly worn, therefore each ring able to move and so run sideways. P.S. Even more fun trying to reverse a set of rolls?
  21. Cambridge rolls ackerchuy.
  22. Which is why I understood nightwatchmen types favoured them, or so I seem to recall, the big Maglights that is.
  23. Ah that explains the incoherent rantings from Diane Abbot, Corbyn, and all on the loonier-lefter side of the Labour party. The poor dears.
  24. A brain locker, for all staff to put their brains in, before entering the site, in case they should indulge in any potentially hazardous "thinking", instead of blindly following the "rules". Said rules generally written by a learned senior management type that has never actually been "hands on". This concept was explained to me 40 odd year ago, by a bloke that had spent some time with a NI Government agency. I found it to be true during my Local Government Supervisor duties too. Though the FC may well be different. Anyway, best wishs for your new venture, regards marcus
