It is. They can only die once. No care costs etc. Try paralysing a 37-year-old hedge fund manager with six dependents or bilaterally blinding a wildlife photographer at National Geographic. That's the expensive stuff.

Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres
AHPP replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
You beauty. I was about to spend appreciably more on a set of Michelin Crossclimates for the car. Always wanted some Nokians but ended up with other stuff by quirks of fate. -
Maybe for a fourteenth offence while on a bender for forty other things. Otherwise no chance. Someone pulled a baton on me the other week (not at work). Witnesses. Police couldn't have cared less. One control room bint told me it was a civil matter because it was connected to a civil matter. "Smashing. I'll go back and kill him then."

I took me half an hour to open the van and two sheds earlier. It was like a Tomb Raider puzzle. Had to use the kitchen gas to defrost my way into the shed where the blowtorch is kept before I could use that to open everything else.

The bassist in my band was expecting his first child a week ago. Having seen the forecast, I nearly remarked to him that he should shoe his car in winter tyres, just in case the child should present itself at an inopportune moment. Then I remembered he's young so wouldn't take my advice anyway so I didn't bother. One day later, snow. One day after that, the child. He made it to the hospital, peering through a pane of ice but he hadn't stacked the odds in his favour. Firm winter tyre fan here.

So be it. What price do you put on your integrity? Let the pragmatists at it. They'll eat each other eventually.

Stop doing dolescum work.

Where are you roughly? I've had recent exposure to the postcode lottery of healthcare in this shithole. Interested to see whether your experiences fit in my model.

Scenic Caves on the Niagara Escarpment

What the arse has this got to do with anything? -
Doug and dug Auld pals Sniffing baws and slaying hoors

Same applies to Doug.

Is it that the cold neutralises a lot of smells and they're going wild on the ones being pumped out by active heat sources? ie Is it that they can smell themselves and you?
-
Some exist. Pretty sure I've seen pictures on here. Northamptonshire maybe?

I'm not a lawyer.

My panels are flat to a wall, which I like to think gives me every advantage in low winter sun. Probably not much difference but it makes me feel good. They obviously don't collect snow either.

I'd be interested to see a few photos if you have any.

Can you describe the workflow of cone splitting and digging stumps please. Do you do a pass along the line with the bucket first to try your luck getting some out whole or to expose more joints to stick the cone in? Or do you cone split everything from the top first and dig to finish?
-
That’s fairly easy then. There are about to be loads of those for sale anyway (the uptick has already started), many “due to circumstances.”

What do you want/need?

Just rewatched it. I must add that I'm a better cook than him. He reminds me of my mate, Andy, also an orienteer as it happens but also a vegetarian. Excellent man. Humane, witty, buoyant, measured, positive without being ghastly with it. A load of us were on the boat back from Lundy after a climbing trip. The sea was rough and a good half of the embarkees were sat looking green and unhappy, except the ones who were actively throwing up over the rail of course. Andy casually pulls out his recorder he'd been occasionally entertaining us with all week and toots out What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor? I had my sea legs and stomach so found it riotously funny.

It won't surprise you that I've seen that and have a lot in common with the bloke.

Flesh rich dining here continues. Steak with a caper and mustard sauce. Was a bit cowardly with the heat because I had butter and capers in the pan already. Needed a stronger sear on the outside for the same in the middle.

I have one that doesn't rev and clutch and wish I did. Massive plus.

Where Do You Chuck Your Stove Ash?
AHPP replied to Witterings's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
My house backs onto an old coal pit. I got dead excited when the electricity board dug it up to replace the poles a few months ago. I was envisaging disrupted pockets of black gold that I could stroll up to and glean a bucket a day from. No such luck. Found about a tea cup full. -
