  1. I elect to die from my injuries where I come to a halt.
  2. It's a shame you couldn't train birds to do the gravel. There are thousands of them just flying round doing nothing. Dossers. I just saw a lovely little thing on facebook about rats that are trained to find people trapped in rubble and flick a switch and come back for a treat when they have. I'm looking at rats on facebook because I want to avoid looking at my van, that a mate and I spent a whole day on yesterday, him welding me doing various other jobs to satisfy some babe bureaucrat writing rules about the nick in my seatbelt. It's my face and my windscreen. I'll mash one into the other if I want to.
  3. I was earlier today exposed to a workshop airline brake bleeder for the second or third time. Still shit. Push the pedal with your foot.
  4. Get in the sea, you spiv wanker.

    As an aside, Stihl just called me since I've been haranguing them about sending me a service manual for the past fortnight. The point I made to them was this: On the one hand, Stihl wants to sell saws and make money. They don't want end users to fix their own saws because that might prolong the economic viability of keeping said saws. They want dealers to quote dealer prices so more stuff will be not economically viable to fix and keep. They want old saws in the bin and new saws on the sales ledger. But on the other hand, they have pages and pages of eco guff on their website about sustainability, energy conservation, waste prevention, climate and carbon neutrality et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. So which is it? Do they want me to put my otherwise perfectly good saw in the bin and buy another or do they want a happy green future for the world? Because it can't be both. I'm shopping for a different saw at the moment. I'll be asking for availability of servicing information before buying and giving brands who don't supply it the same hot ear I just gave Stihl.
  10. No no. You fixed it. Well done.
  11. Try again please, Dan.
  12. My question is now quite specific. Town and Country Planning Act 199, s 211(3)(a) says: serve(d) notice of his intention to do the act in question (with sufficient particulars to identify the tree) on the local planning authority Where are these sufficient particulars listed? I know I can do the things on Bolam's list (and they are, in my opinion, sufficient). But Bolam and I are sadly not the law. So what does the law say are sufficient particulars? Don't make me go into a legal database to find out. I want to go to bed instead.
  13. The reason I didn't ask in the first instance is because I realised it was a stupid question.
  14. I was going to ask this about the Isuzu micro lorry. Would some weight in the back take some off the front axle?
  15. At one point in time, I was dealing with Alan who answers the Little Buildings e-mail, Alan who answers the Little Buildings phone, Alan who runs a garden centre I cut firewood for, Alan who was his dad and Alan who was something else to do with the firewood. The region needs more names. Just as well I'm providing some variety. One of them wasn't actually called Alan btw. It was just his nickname. FFS
  16. Which one? Everyone there's called Alan.
  17. Two secs. Let me get Jennifer Lopez on the phone and see how she would've got it down.
  18. This has got me going back through uni stuff now. Here's me in the supreme court, having just won an argument about delivering fish in boxes. The tall bloke next to me is now my drummer. We've exchanged grooming regimes since then.
  19. I was in arb just before and while at uni. I did one of my first memorable proper freelance climbing jobs on a morning in Newcastle before an afternoon lecture at Scumbag College, Wearside. Plan to go until 40 or 45 at this and then do legal things. Can still put in a ten or twenty year shift at it then. I'm 37 or 38 now.
  20. Rubbish. It's full of roundabouts with little pubs on corners. The north circular is a fack off motorway on flyovers etc.
  21. Even better!
  22. Another amusing (and in this case incredulously committed) driving offence. Think, where have you ever seen this sign in the UK? Not often. I'd in fact never seen it until I saw it as I turned down a perfectly ordinary looking road in the suburbs of Lincoln in a Volvo S40 full of commercial fireworks and RDX. Me and my mate just looked at each other and wet ourselves. What are the bloody odds. For any infrequent forum visitors who came here via a keyword flag, it was all above board. Go back to checking twitter for male pregnancy deniers.
  23. Been there. 2010 or so, doing laps of a roundabout in Durham, trying to read a self-printed map by headtorch, drink having been taken. Usual unpleasantaries but kept quiet and a left with only a bit of paperwork to fix a brake/indicator bulb and show an MOT station I had. Could have been worse. The south circular doesn't exist btw. I believe the rest of the story though.
