Hmmm:001_huh: but how does one slacken the wire, or just knock a billet or two out lenghtwise first perhaps?

Here in the blessed beautiful North Co Antrim, there is going,sooner or later, be carnage on the roads, when a group of inflated ego Motorcycle riders mangle a group of equally inflated egotist Lycra Clad cyclists. Judging by my observations of the behavouir of both groups when met or overtaken by a courteous car driver. It does not bode well.

bah humbug!

But I, me, mesel, personally, by name, in our local Community, know various persons who, whilst qualifying for the higher rate DLA (and the "free" car) are perfectly capable of working, (2 cases of injury damaged feet), leaves them 90+% mobile and 100% capable of a desk job. So why should they not be allowed or expected to work?

Plus the real irony was some of the new home owners doubled down (or is it up) and remortgaged the homes they never made a payment on subsequently, and blew it on fast living and consumer goods. And then expect our sympthay.

As above.

bit like Labour "back in the day" promising low rents, to buy a few votes, or is there a difference I missed?

(i) The trueley frightening inefficiencies and costs of La or Govt managed and maintained houses were unsustainable. (ii) The apparent "lack" of housing has more to do with every wee knocked up girl getting her own rent paid home, whilst the father(s) of her children are paid to live elsewhere. (iii) Plus divorced couples living in seperate homes, often getting their rents paid, while sons and knocked up daughters occupy other discrete residences. I not unreasonable believe that if those who find it hardest to afford a home or rent, lived a bit more communally, i.e. more persons under the one roof, it would be better for all. Has anyone figures to hand? PS Do charitable Housing Associations be liable for rates? I know the Commercial property rented to a charity is rates free for sure. So is this behind the move? Somebody gott pay! PS We never took mortgages, therefore never subsidized bankers.

^^^^^^^ Wor "E" said!

Curiously ambivalent Sean, and curious as to why this has been suggested. (i) The presumably untertrodden HA tenants will now get a freebie, if they so wish(Power to the People n all that Right on Brother stuff) So does HMG think that the various Housing associations have grown too powerful?, or indeed could be abusing their position, taking unfair? advantage of their Charitable status? Regards, M

Above is quite correct, from recall. PS I currently own 3 no, "G" Wagens, not Argy ones mind. I really really really need to put the 290GD van back on the road, sigh. M

Used to be the situation, however absurb, and while I understand still applicable to non-Commercial users, I also understand VOSA are now insisting commercial users stick to the plated weights:confused1: From local NI hearsay. m

I drooled over Benderup a few years ago, they appeared to be really well thought out, designed, constructed and finished. Re the Unsinn featured, I cannot warm to the pressed steel hitchs, though obviously significently lighter than a cast hitch. I do however like the aluminium plank sides. m

Thanks Cod, I had forgot about the dust! Right about the "bad" idea mind! cheers m

guessing a "TB" retrofit conversion then Jim?

If, as it classically is, dumped over the boundary, particularly if remote from any other persons access, I cannot see how they can reasonably deny it. This is one of the few issues that genuinely causes me to "red mist", generally caused by persons not belonging in the countryside, who keep their gardens exquisitely tidy, but seem to imagine that any ground outside their ownership is "common" ground and good to dump thereon. A tractor and hydraulic link-box is "wile" handy bytimes. m

:001_tt2: Not in the slightest, I understood any of the comments above were simply to attempt to prevent a continuance of a less than ideal approach:lol: PS Re the chipping dry wood. Simply that I always thought/figgered fresh wet wood with sap therein was much kinder on the chipper blades, and that semi-seasoned or seasoned wood would be "chougher" and probably grittier forby cheers M

Bingo! I even mulled over the chipping option, but since I was fixated on also selling firewood, I went down the billiting route. The only downside from my perspective (10 years or more ago) was that whilst it would be desireable to store the roundwood unchipped (to prevent the fresh chip heating in a heap) it was not a good idea to regularly chip dryish wood. And nor did I want to start drying the chip. Perhaps I was wrong. m

yep, seriously, The fact that I work for a LA and am constantly badgered/harassased by selfish silly home owners or renters who apparently want to live in the middle of a cotton padded desert without any dangerous (=all) trees, dropping twigs or leaves in their gardens or gutters, or harbouring man-killing rats, is entirely beside the point. despite living on junk food, smoking and driving like idiots. i.e. activities much more likely to be injurious to they or their children health. m

Presume we can expect an update April 1st 2016?

My reason for even considering spending the considerable amount of money on the professional grade machine was simply that it was plumbed into the mains water, so always fresh water esp. if an in-line "Brita" type filter installed.. The Rancillio uses a tupperware type lift out resovoir, that when I occassionally remove to clean, is proper disgusting, visually leastwise (we live in a soft water/peaty water area, and despite the filteration and treatment a residue comes through) Also run a Rancillio grinder, neither machine has given any trouble in about 10 years, prior to this we went through a number of cheapo espresso machines. And yes, the flushing of the machine with the fresh hot water helps to heat it up. PS Ran a batch of Marks and Spencer coffee through just recently, only this morning back to Sainsburys, might have to consider sticking with M& S brand, despite the considerable extra cost. There was a clear difference. Bugger!

It does take a few minutes for the light to go out, and then I tend to run the hot water through the "doofer" one puts the grounds it, and wash and rinse it out a couple of times. Anyway since the 2 mugs of milk take 7 minutes to heat, while I feed the dogs etc. Is no odds. I attempted to buy the very last of a better French brand, who had discontinued their very good domestic model to focus production on their professional/commercial range from the NZ based worldwide distributor (and scratchs head there) But just failed and thereby saved myself £1,000.00 odd Which for 2 mugs of coffee a day ud ave bin a trifle extreme, I admit.

No 5 beans ex sainsburys, ground fresh and through a Rancillio espresso machine. A triple "hit" into a large mug of Microwaved milk = breakfast. I now loathe instant. Though when growing up "Camp" coffee in the square bottle, made with hot milk was all we ever got, and only as a treat.
