I'm on an economy drive diet, Paul. 25kg bag of potatoes - £3.50 10kg bag of onions - £3.89 Garlic Other veg Backbone of every meal. I have so many spare carbs going, especially considering how inactive I am at the moment.

I am looking forward to celebrating my 40th birthday... ...in 2027. Clearly they don't make 'em like they used to.

I've been giving this a go for the last couple of mornings. A pint of hot water and lemon and two cups of tea (my usual) seems to produce 8, maybe 9 gallons of urine by about 12:00. What sorcery is this?!

What computer are you on? What operating system? What browser?
-
Alas, that's what I was thinking. Was hoping for thermo-magic. I just want double the excuse to buy a Kelly Kettle really.
-
Worth getting to use for both or so utterly useless on the stove as to render that entire half of the equation null?
-
Are they any good for leaving permanently on the side of an Aga/Rayburn to keep warm and moving to the main hotplate to boil when needed?
-
Same. I asked them for the best one for cutting rope and canoe thwarts (20mm x 30mm dried ash) and they're sending a black one.

Not Gretna is it?!

I was in that neck of the woods earlier this year in my Transit adventure wagon. Front wheel drive, least powerful engine, highest gearing.... Two boats on the roof and all the gear for an outdoorsy trip for me and my cousins sitting nicely over the back axle... Hartside was fine. Hardknott less so. The penalty of owning a vehicle where some of the wheels don't work. I hate FWD. I'll be going back to 4WD (or at least RWD) next car. Nice comfy 4WD Jap truck looks just the job.

No Messerschmidtt pilots mentioned yet... My lot were all involved in agriculture so no particular heroics. A close family friend (all 5' of him) landed at Normandy with a Bren gun. Got injured a couple of weeks before close of play. He's pretty quiet about it but when asked has some mindblowing stories.

I'm in Suffolk at the moment. Will be back in the better part of the world around new year. Will drop you a line when I know when I'm driving up and find out where you are. My christmas plan is police powers and judicial review revision and a kebab if anywhere's open.

Reminds me of a Volvo Sugga. Very cool things. When I'm indecently wealthy I'll have a pair of Volvos, a Sugga and a 303, on the driveway. Have a good Christmas, Paul. Catch you anon.

Yeah, the thing you stand behind to make a speech. Churches usually have quite ornate ones. I thought someone might have been commissioned to make one. The decorative element (all except the flat bit for the book/papers) could be any sort of carving you like. Jonathan Davis from Korn has a similarly interesting mic stand.

As per title please.

Great looking dog. I've never been particularly fussed about Spaniels but he is ace.

At best, it's a trespass; your stuff on their land. Civil offence. They sue you for damages. Falling shot probably won't do much damage to anyone but have an ammo mixup and rain slug onto someone and you're in trouble (obviously). This would be a criminal matter. As hard as it may be to believe, a lot of law is just common sense. Don't shoot anyone.

Link please.

Ausgezeichnet!

My Gomtaro isn't rusty. It can sit around the kitchen drying and then is convenient to wipe a bit of veg oil on. Less sure how easy it will be to stay on top of a folder that lives with wet boating gear.
-
My river knife fell apart the other day and I've been needing to get a pruning saw to carry canoeing anyway. Pocketboy to do both rope cutting and wood cutting is the obvious choice but it will rust. Who does stainless pruning saws?
-
No idea but I like how your mind works!
-
I hinted. You just said it!

Tickets is down to your personal choice and maybe your relationship/contract with insurers. Competency/potential/common sense/safe work style I would have thought is the 'must have'. Other employers might be happy for you to tire out someone they want an excuse to get rid of! Reason for dismissal = Comes into work knackered and useless (because he's been cutting logs all night for that timberdelf chap). You give me problems, I give you solutions!

Local farmers' sons. Ask local ag college to recommend a student. Ask other local firms to suggest any of their part timers who might want extra work. Post on a widely read, industry specific internet forum (where people are always wanting work)... Good offer for someone. Surprised nobody's taken you up on it. I'd have come in the campervan and done an intensive week or so for you if the offer had come up a few weeks ago. Indisposed now unfortunately. Best of luck.
