    What are the least bad vans in your opinion?
  2. For free hanging ascent, get your body in and focus on driving straight upwards. Thrashing about wastes energy. Redirects don't have to be down through crotches. A sling and biner can save a lot of grovelling. Persist.
  3. As Khriss says. Beginning of day and end of day to be double sure.
  4. Husky chainbrakes I think are proof of the existence of god and that he’s a prick. How else could the joint top chainsaw maker in the world still be making such rubbish after all these years. I can count on no fingers how many times I’ve been on YouTube on my phone on my knees in a garden, relearning how to put the side cover on a Stihl with an internal clutch and brake.

    Hallowed squareness. The panel vans aren’t bad for that either, bottom half of the space anyway. I suspect the Peugeot/Citroen/Fiats are even squarer but I sadly can’t drive them. The pedal boxes kill my knee. Drove one for a few days. Just couldn’t get it comfortable.

    Well done. Enjoy it. I've always thought low Lutons would make excellent campers/livers.

    What did you pay for what mileage and age?
  8. I assume you meant you would do so to ascertain whether the watchmaker's widow was fit to be talked to. I would credit her with her faculties and competence until I had reason to doubt them. I do take your point about not doing bad things if you don't want your misdeeds publicised but there are three sides to every story. Perhaps she's broadly speaking innocent.
  9. I'd be monstrously angry if someone aired my dirty laundry with my neighbours. It's not their business.
  10. Go on, Mick. Up with the Mad Max memes.
  11. Burn it. All the extra transport, materials, work etc involved in disposal, recycling etc is far worse for the environment.
  12. Dear Mrs Watchmender, You have my [specific watch]. You promised to post it to me on [date]. I sent the postage money on [date]. I really do sympathise for your loss but I want my watch back. Please post it in the next fortnight or contact me if there’s a problem. If I don’t receive it or hear from you, I’ll come and collect it. I reiterate my condolences and look forward to not having to take any more of your time. Yours sincerely, agg221 If she doesn’t post it, follow through. 10:00 Saturday knock, no flowers, wife and kids making tea on a gas stove at the back of the car. I’d say enough time has passed for the above to be acceptable form. Or from an alternative view of human interaction, I’m sure she was able to pull herself together enough to cash his life insurance. Lawyers are for properly last resort, adversarial situations. They’ll sense decency and accordingly skin you for “proper” letters.
  13. Could you get a picture of what the stops look like please.
  14. Biomass is size graded (commonly 30mm and 50mm) wood chips, generally for automated boilers. Logs are logs for the living room fire. Terms reasonably notorious in the industry, unless you’re a farmer, in which case biomass also includes car tyres, dead dogs and IKEA wardrobes.
  15. Does the Klou have stops to protect the hoses?
  16. Can it freely rotate infinitely (some clever hose junction inside the grab mount) or can you only rotate a certain amount before you wind the hoses up? The heel (if that’s what it’s called?) looks excellent on the Klou. It looks like you can grab stuff in the pincer only and drag and snake freely but grab it a bit further along so it’s jammed against the heel and hold it pretty rigidly (longitudinally) without having to get off the machine and put the pin in.
  17. If it’s a Go Ape venue and felling the tree causes them to move the course for £5k, retention makes sense. Just guessing of course. I actually found myself initially agreeing with you, which didn’t seem right so I’m looking for explanations.
  18. Frying cabbage is the way. Same with sprouts. Par boil then fry in butter and garlic.
  19. That’s the literal rule. The golden rule is about diverging from the literal rule if following it slavishly would result in absurdity.
  20. It’s generally accepted there are three (sort of four but ignore that for now) rules of statutory interpretation in English law. John completely missed one (the golden rule) in the same breath as appraising the legal understanding to be, “100% correct.” I found his input on the council thing interesting too but I’m afraid I trust it less now. Don’t take this as unduly harsh, John but this is the peril of sounding super certain about something complicated. It’s OK to not be. The law isn’t easy. Back to Dan (and anyone else with too much mental energy to burn on a Friday night). If you want an evening of interesting and probably relevant reading, start with statutory interpretation, have a flick through the Interpretation Acts (probably the 1974 one) and the Sale of Goods Act 198whenever and then look at the Boots Cash Chemist line of caselaw (Boots itself, the flick knife in the window and the rare birds for the basis) for hints about how judges can be persuaded. Have fun. EDIT: I hasten to add that looking up the above will certainly give you a flavour for what the law is or might be but the only way to know or get epistemologically close is to pay Reuters a lot of money for a database and learn how to use it. It changes constantly.
