  1. Borrow?, cos sounds like you dinny really want her back?
  2. The above sums it up, particularily the weather aspect, cos imho, an somewhat limited experience, a stone burrier only works in dry soils. An dry concrete/dry tarmac, after a brief blink o the Sun, after it has pished doon for weeks, bes a bit/whole lot different to dry soil!
  3. "Stolen from the few", so that will be all right then, just to complete their unfinished sentence. Death duties were introduced in 1894, and for the next century were effective in breaking up large estates. And Labour need to(effectively) re-confiscate these same lands again, from their new owners who bought and paid for them. But a sure Labour vote winner, robbing Peter to pay Paul
  4. I never quite got my head round the seemingly straightforward Horsepower to kilowatts (kW) conversion calculator WWW.RAPIDTABLES.COM Horsepower (hp) to kilowatts (kW) power conversion: calculator and how to convert. HP/Kw equivalances, where an electric motor of lower power will apparently do the same work as a higher powered diesel. Max torque at zero revolutions for the electric is part of this equation, and per the fuel burned comment, no wasted fuel "ticking over" between work cycles helps. Still perplexing to me.
  5. Tis no my hearing I ud be worried about! Also admiring the footware! Ouch!
  6. Couch , cough, I spied a man with what I surmise to be a wee walk-behind seeder, so guessing . . . but I suppose it could be fertilizer going on, prior to turf? Bugger iffen I ud want to keep that expanse of fresh turf watered in July mind.
  7. From someone who proposed like a gentleman, i.e. while taking the weight on both knees!
  8. Took me a surprisingly long time tay figger oot that that she didnay like it gentlemanlike!
  9. As a 60 year old gentleman, wit a slightly younger wife, cough cough, a guid job the weans are still no under the same roof, cos, nudge nudge, wink wink! 2 stoats-in-a-sack . . . widnay 'ave a luke in.
  10. Al the more reason to hate the other fuckers, being easier to really hate ones own relations. Just saying like.
  11. Those Victorian Lunatic Asylum's had some lovely grounds for the inmates. And they were proper secure too.
  12. I proper got the hots for your Daisy Etta there Billhook.
  13. Paul, based on shafting tools with riven or carefully selected lengths of round Ash saplings this 40 years, such knowledge being handed down from my father, also as an adolescent making reasonably successful longbows from Ash saplings. I believe my father also recounted Ash being used, and of preference for cart shafts, due to its resilence. Hence my puzzlement at dead Ash trees being "bruckle", which fact I also readily acknowledge. Cheers Marcus
  14. But seasoned felled Ash is tough and strong. What mechanism is responsible for the difference? regards marcus
  15. Eggs, Quite seriously, I do, and I have stopped and offered/provided help to stranded motorists, etc. etc. But the behavouir we have observed is not easily misunderstood. Like one neighbour, that had got several quantities of jam, turned up at our back door one afternoon, clutching a 6-pack of eggs(they sell eggs, or did then ), spoke to me about sommat, did not return any pots, and left still clutching the 6-pack of eggs? Was I meant to offer him money for the eggs? That particular incident has perplexed me ever since. Another neighbour did bring round eggs, but only by way of an apology for near shooting me with a .243!
  16. Most probably.
  17. On the other hand since the wife started growing fruit, then buying sugar at retail prices, buying jampots(40p each, at the pallet rate or £600/£700.00 for the pallet, which we paid), tending the garden, picking the fruit, and lovingly making superb "organic" jam. And only asked for the pots back, in return. Over about 10 years experience. (i) Most people cant even be arsed to return the pots, at all. (ii)Most of those that return the pots are too lazy to remove the labels and wash them out properly. We have got some quite disgusting boxes/bags of stinking pots, from some surprisingly "well bred/middle class" people too. Literally only 1 or 2 people return the pots clean, and one of them is an Aunt, the other is a farmers wife. It does make us wonder. mth
  18. bugger me! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/06/30/bojo-can-give-economy-back-mojo-ditching-left-wing-toryism/ Bojo's Mojo first mentioned in die Telegraph! Whoda thunkit!
  19. site was playing up when I tried to "quote"
  20. dual citerzenship cisternship? down-the-shitter-ship or wot!
  21. Because, from many years of experience, it makes some individuals "feel important".
  22. So why did they not take the vehicle to a more suitable location? Since per their lack of protective gear or specialist personell, no hazards were/are present. NOPE Simply fuck the driving public about quite needlessly. IMHO!
  23. I thought they were all migrating to Portrush for the Open?
  24. Ho Hum/shit happens.
