  1. You're such a fabulously transparent leaker. You're going to put a builder's car on top of his other car.

    ArbDogs? Pics!

    High quality hound, low quality snack. For a relatively civilised people, the Norwegians amaze me when they eat those dreadful things. The mustard is lovely and would go just as well with sausages with a floor sweeping content under 90%.
  3. Or a rightmove listing, geograph photo etc if you fancy the detective work. Steve's appraisal of your client is accurate...

    Rednek Dek

    Or indeed sending me private messages on forums telling me a load of private information about some bloke called Dek, who I don't know. Couldn't make it up.

    Aye, I'm a stickler for that and likewise not amused if people pass my details on without asking first. The other thing in the same vein that I can't stand is people not checking they're speaking to the correct person on the telephone before disclosing confidential information.
  6. That’s pretty much exactly what I was going to say; does a two bed semi within ten miles of the base of operations cost £78-84k? The government didn’t allow house prices to rise btw. They caused them to.
  7. You’d think so (I did) but alas not. I tried hammers, levers and tying the hook to a tree and pulling the post with a mini loader before putting it on here.
  8. Bingo! Thanks, deafhead.
  9. If I become willing to run a drill bit into it from that side, possibly yes. It’s hammered into a blind hole as far as I can tell.
  10. As per title. What’s the trick?
  11. A fairly stout (14oz?) ball pein hammer head was my first throwbag. Rightly nervous to use it around houses.
  12. Pole and hook. As long as you can be bothered to carry. Mine’s collapsible, 4-12’. Post the rope above you.
  13. Nothing sexier than an inguinal hernia.
  14. Addressed principally to the French contingent. I'm well aware from your tall neighbour on here that Scandinavia is a land of milk, honey and well specified machines.
  15. There's a meme in that: What my family think I do - sit on a stool. What I think I do - scene from one of those Quest programmes about Alaskan crabbing trawlers. What I actually do - choke on my own vomit after doing eleven cans of special brew and falling asleep in a £200 folding chair. Anything to avoid the wife.
  16. Oh go on, play along.
  17. Are you paid by the cube or the hour?
  18. Ever seen chain oil glisten on a fishing lake? Signwriting off the van at home.
  19. Driveway looks ideal for a crane or grapplesaw lorry/Merlo. Do you do much of that on the continent?
  20. It's all in the first two minutes. You can add an extra zig and even an extra zag or add a figure 8/biner wrap but it's best kept simple.
  21. I heartily agree with Mick. I’ll often run a bit down on the three strand if the ground are busy and haven’t unclipped the nice rope yet. Or just whenever suits. I saw a lovely climber friction system on an August Hunicke video a few weeks ago. Uses a couple of slings and biners so kinder to nice ropes. I’ll find it later on the laptop.
  22. Well done and thanks (if you really did bring it about and not just take credit for it that is).
  23. August Hunicke (YouTube) bought one (220T but same switching as far as I know) and made a video about it. He uses it for ten cuts and then uses a different saw for the rest of the video.
  24. When you say privately registered, do you mean taxed as private (class 10) or registered on the V5? And what’s plating?
  25. Either way, was I right about the regulation? MOT, tax and insurance only or do I need particular registration or anything else?
