  1. 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
  2. Blonde? Big knockers? Drives an Audi? Hard to credit otherwise.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. Gosh darn it , ah near typed untermensch in error?
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. Now that Blacksplitter kit concept makes sense KJ, I like it. Marcus
  9. 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
  10. And, like! Ever the pragmatist me! Wot will it cost to replace a masterpiece of glass, especially if curved. Marcus
  11. No idea, but having googled "Slanetrac" is the brand, and various UK based dealers came up for Slanetrac. Cheers Marcus
  12. Thanks HK
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. http://www.spam-uk.com/competitions/ https://iremit.com.au/what-is-spam-and-why-are-filipinos-obsessed-with-it/
  16. 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?
  17. Cambridge rolls ackerchuy.
  18. Which is why I understood nightwatchmen types favoured them, or so I seem to recall, the big Maglights that is.
  19. Ah that explains the incoherent rantings from Diane Abbot, Corbyn, and all on the loonier-lefter side of the Labour party. The poor dears.
  20. I have carried an Elora strongbar this past 40 years, seriously because I once got caught by overtightened wheels nuts on a deflated tyre. It did occur to me that it could potentially have other uses, c/w a finger-moulded non slip grip and a lovely handy "heft" about it. different brand name, but the same product see link https://www.howdentools.com/products/king-tony-strong-bar-flexible-handle.html?page=19
  21. Der 461 Steyr Puch has been working for her keep this past 2 weeks, hauling kerbs and premix concrete for me to set aforementioned kerbs, not bad for a relatively neglected 20 year old. But as soon as I get the building works finished I will lavish some tender loving on her over the winter months. Unfortunately it looks like she will need a new offside front wing, though the chassis is still shiney and sound. Cheers marcus oops a 605C Fiat crawler, nominal 60 HP, unfortunately missing the High/Low gearbox, but very very easy started and fuelled.
  22. Well, see, from an N Irish perspective, if SF/IRA support Hamas, and they undoubtedly do, we got to support Israel, and I do. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. But sometimes a friend is just a friend, regardless of common enemies. But I do support the need for a safe space for those of the Jewish faith, whilst still having sympathy for the origional displaced Palastinians. However Israel has made a better fist of running a country, in the most difficult of circumstances, than most/all of their fractious Arab neighbours. And having grown up during the often miss-reported NI Troubles, and all too often our own BBC were the most, mostly subtly, Nationalist biased. I learned not to trust media reports. since SF/IRA definately took an early lead and won their relentless drip, drip, drip propaganda War with the British Establishment. Marcus
  23. Was that VW engine perhaps prone to overheating, for whatever design/location reason?
  24. But I understood the Caravelle and indeed the Combi Van were both derivitives of the Transporter Van, and if the Vivario had seats fitted in the rear, essentially it is designed to do the same job as the Combi Transporter. P.S. The Transporter has also surely got a high seating position, c/w transverse engine and transmission being FWD. Ditto the red-herring of fuel tank, exhaust and suspension gobbdly-gook, since Van designers all use the same CAD packages surely? Now if they had simply used some criteria like some minimum "x" m3 and "x" kg of cargo carrying capacity, after the seats were fitted, it might have been simpler/clearer/fairer. marcus
