  1. I suspected but can never tell with you, Mick. You're very dry.
  2. Something like that. Bear in mind the top of the water won't be any lower though. Either the boats would need to half sink (and then refloat for the rest of the shallow sections) or the tunnel sections would need locks either side.
  3. The low tunnels are a surmountable problem I'd have thought. I suspect slow freight wouldn't work here because of the various factors that push people towards money rather than wealth and happiness.
  4. "Industry will retrench to men and horses." A line from one of my songs. Seems apt.

    Cutting hedges

    The last time I had a decent run of it to do I had a skinful the night before, hit it hard at seven something with a three-hour New York hardcore playlist in the earmuffs and felt amazing by the time I was finished at about ten. Just blasting at it through a headful of noise yielded zen. Brought myself back into the world with a quick bath and a massive BLT and felt great all day. Life presents you with this kind of profundity at the weirdest times, like when I found albion in a traffic jam on the M1.

    Does two or three blades (tines?) make any difference?

    Can you recommend a particular blade please.
  8. I’m all for agonising over details to get the best possible setup for a given thing but fuel is just so simple I don’t bother. I have Stihl saws so I use Stihl fuel. If I had Husqvarna saws, I’d use Husqvarna fuel. If I had a different brand saw, I’d ask the manufacturer what they recommend and use that. Then if you have a problem with the saw, the manufacturer has one fewer foboff at their disposal.
  9. Don't bung him £50 and do tell him to feck off.
  10. Strong kid but she's got the bar upside down. Amateur.
  11. Dig the feet in and/or anchor them with ropes. Test by setting the boom to maximum sideways, minimum up and bouncing. Aware you won’t get a lot of sideways low down on a compound boom arrangement but you do what you can.
  12. Probably cheaper than contracting the money laundering out. Some ice cream vans sell ice cream of course.
  13. Cheers. Can see the thread and video, just not the full size photo,
  14. Can you post the photo on his post here, save me joining the forum. Can only see thumbnail as guest.
  15. Bingo! Was waiting for someone to say Nirvana. I remember hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit played on Steve Wright's Non-Stop Oldies on Radio 2 and thinking then, "The job's fuxked if that's an oldie."
  16. I saw an advert for christmas stuff the other week. Someone’s computer calendar has broken.
  17. I was about to say similar. Must be the moon or something because everyone's a bit tense atm. I just played a game of five a side. Several people were right bitchy.
  18. Alternatively, shoot a few and the rest will get the message. Normality restored.
  19. You should weigh in on the Crimean war thread more. You presumably remember the last one.
  20. Looked fine, though there is some mixy round there. Had more the look of a wasted wook who'd wandered somewhere he shouldn't be at a festival. Took off, comically startled when we looked out of the window at him.
  21. One ventured onto the (large, block paved) driveway at mum and dad's the other week. Thought that was weird.
  22. I’m joking with you. I’m sure I saw on another thread that you’re Lithuanian? So you’re not Russian yet.
