  1. So someone with B would be able to tow more than 750kg if these changes happen?
  2. What’s happening with driving licences?
  3. I’ve had better results since stopping bothering with insulating tape. It melts at a different heat to and burns dirtier than whatever ropes are made from. Sharp knife and close fingers keeps the fraying to an entirely reasonable level.

    Tree id

    Colour is alder. Bark is alder or a quite outside chance of pine. Probably alder.
  5. Box and maybe even bore the box if you’ve got space.
  6. Yacht swindleries are the usual kings of premium price. Fairly impressive to find them the better deal. I cut with a knife, heat over a gas hob and roll the melted bit into a cap/taper on a board with the side of a knife.
  7. No talking on Mark Bolam’s sites. No sex on Sviatoslav Tulin’s sites.
  8. (What a coincidence. I was just thinking Khriss is a twat a few hours ago.)
  9. @Johnsond Be plainer and more structured please. Start at the beginning. What's this all about?
  10. What a coincidence. I was just thinking about bolstering the springs on my van a few hours ago.

    Free trees

    I can’t take any but thanks for offering. Nice thing to do.
  12. Can you start a thread about that please. I’d be interested to read it.
  13. Crap photo. Quite like the Spanish headstock/tuners with steels. I can’t imagine ever buying a nylon strung guitar with them, or indeed one at all. Won’t do the squeals from Psychosocial.
  14. The manufacturers themselves may well be the best people to talk to. I’ve had very useful conversations with Marlow, English Braids and Teufelberger.
  15. My first guitar was a big Tanglewood acoustic. Later looked at what else was available and, slightly overwhelmed, decided it wasn’t worth trying to decide between brands so I’d just buy Tanglewood acoustics from then on. Freed up acres of brain space. Now have three Tanglewoods in service and broke the rule once for a really thin Ibanez. One of the guitars I regret not buying was a stained green Tanglewood telecaster with gold hardware but the rule doesn’t extend to electrics so the loss is of lesser consequence.
  16. I was between a Faith Mercury in PMT and the equivalent Tanglewood in Windows the other day. Tanglewood won.
  17. A vasectomy is also quick and straightforward.

    FSB

    Membership | FSB, The Federation of Small Businesses Any members here? Anyone made use of the legal advice and various things that look ostensibly like legal costs insurance? Seems on the face of it like you get a lot of stuff for £147, which in turn sounds too good to be true.
  19. New wiper blades and an oil change?
  20. Van with a winch at the top of the bulkhead and a pulley above the door. Lift stuff in. Unhook the pulley if you want to drag the bags deeper into the van. Reconnect the pulley to pull stuff towards the doors and lower out.
  21. I was going to write basically exactly that.
  22. I'm too young to have shot pistols when they were (relatively) common but I have a section 7 range pretty close by and am open to doing a bit of that. I like stuff like the Webley Fosberry and that Russian gas sealing revolver with the cylinder that sits forward as it times. The innovative rather than the visceral. No interest in especially big revolvers etc. I'm primarily a rifle man. Sold an AR this afternoon as it happens. Aim to replace it in time for next year's imperial at the very latest.
