"Come 'ere young'un, get some vittles from yonder pot before I tan yer hide!" Well seeing as redneck-hillbillies bes decended fea Co. Antrim stock, cos that bes a perfectly clear instruction to mesel. cept we ud say "yon pot" M At work this morning there was a complaint from some of the younger main office staff, that it was too cold in their office, I called in on the way past, noted they were correct and commented; "Aliastair will be along to turn the wick up" that did not bloody unnerstan me. Dreagh or what! PS Dreagh means slow on the uptake, perhaps even obtuse.

Scrummy is a term I can only associate with Yummy Mummies discussing physically actractive well-bred Rugby players.

A poor creater (creature pronounced creater) o a tourist wandered into a bar in Belfast and before he got a chance to decide what he wanted to drink was greeted by the barman guldering (=shouting) "Bout-ye" in his face. Which caused him to wonder how he had offended said barman, but a spat out "bout-ye" merely bes the standard Belfast greeting, being short for "How about you". cheers m

Means buying an unknown item/quantity. A poke is a bag or paper container ( a poke of chips or a poke of sweets) Hence it might or might not be a pig wriggling about in there:lol:

Christ yeez is a picky lot, cold pasta salad is excellent. & Raw fish & shellfish is OK too, but I do prefer my red meat cooked, though not overcooked. A cold "bleu" Welsh Black fillet steak is also a wonderful hangover cure btw. All grist for the mill.

Back in 1995 when we were at a land auction (& where we actually bought the site we are living on) a "Hobo" shuffled in part way through, stood about for a while, spoke to nobody, and left again. Said "Hobo" was a well-doing/self made farming gentleman who could have bought and sold most anybody else in the room. I liked his touch. m Ere! Now I come to think of it The MontyPython crew was all over the lumberjack/lumbersexual Before it were fashionable.

Was the Galvanised chassis a factory spec item? Highly unlikely I would have thought, since the galvanising anneals the steel thereby lowering the tensile strength, therefore chassis requires to be thicker and heavier to attain the necc spec. Which is self defeating.

very impressive!

difflock replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
Correct since November is still the Autumn. So Dec, Jan and Feb bes the months to watch. Anyway I still remember 1947! Marcus -
We can easily get the living room to 30 plus with the nominal 8kw Morso. It is 5m by 5m plus a window bay, and that 30 deg is with the door to the stairwell open. These stoves are really intended for Skandanivan style open plan houses, with the stove centrally located. PS Despite the 30 deg heat I have yet failed to get the wife to announce "Gosh, it is so hot in here I am going to have to take all my cloths off" Still working on "Plan B" btw. Marcus

Calculating Kilowatt-hour output of firewood, anyone?
difflock replied to luke_mclachlan's topic in Firewood forum
The moisture is driven off either before compressing or during the compression/extrusion of the pellets, not after. Work on 4Kw per Kg for "dry" firewood, i.e. at 15 to 20% -
1.9 N/A diesel BX estate, bought with a declared 91,000 miles, it needed various:lol: work/attention, but it never failed me or broke down during a journey.:thumbup: Did the Continent, ex NI, down the length of the Dordogne etc too, a few times as well One tough old motor. marcus

With oversight (to prevent theft) they will however last indefinately:lol:

I beg to differ, in respect of burning wood on the Morso. We have a multifuel Morso, which indeed has the under grate draught facility. But it does not be used to burn wood. Simply leave it closed and open the vents at the rear, or the 2 threaded ventilation knobs on the doors. I actually understood it was more to allow one to "riddle" the grate? Which is all I use it for, and about every fortnight, but then we burn nearly all the waste paper, bank statements, circulars, bumph as well, so these prob cause most of the ash.

indeed!

I was seriously wondering why the Hell you/anyone was working there? In the business of un-naturing nature I can only presume. Or more accurately preserving a snap-shot in time of the Bogs natural evolution. i.e. Preventing its quite natural progression. Has Natural England not heered-tell of Evolution and the natural geological cycle (lakes filling in and mountains eroding etc) yet? Cheers M
