    Don't you start! My first ever serious post and it gets ripped to pieces! I don't know why I bother:biggrin:
  2. the village idiot
    Stubby my friend, you are a genius! Why you were ever admitted to that centre for the irredeemably insane I will never know?

    I saw a rather nifty solar kettle on a website the other day. It is based around a single solar thermal tube. You can boil eggs in it and everything. Not terribly good at night though, when I presume you have our campfires.

    Fantastic!! Bet you could drive on water with that set up! What model is the BCS and how does it handle the hydro tongs? They look like a serious set.
  5. the village idiot
    Is it a particular Devon based log seller's credibility?

    Graceland.

    Sorry elby, clear now:001_smile:

    CHC reckons around 20 ton a day with decent log presentation and a fair wind. He has 50hp AGT and a 3 ton trailer.

    Alas no, I'm right out of Camels.

    It wasn't me Stubby, I've gone out.

    It's an ancient woodland. I wince every time I have to leave the roadways, hence the flotation tyres.
  12. the village idiot
    I'm afraid I've gone out Jon.

    That's a beauty! Well done that man! There must be something in the air as I've just bought on too:thumbup: Nice cheerful colour don't you think?
  14. the village idiot
    Oh, and a very happy birthday to you old chap!

    :thumbup: Top bloke Ti!

    Ah! Excellent! Thanks for trying that out. Over the last few days I have been experimenting with a different fastening technique. The cages can be held together in a ring, and to each other in a stack with a few cable ties. (Previously I was bending the fencing wires back round themselves). Using this method you can simply snip the ties to release the logs leaving you with a length of fencing at the end rather than a cumbersome ring. Much better for storage if you are short of space. Hope that makes sense!

    In my opinion that is! If everyone thought the same as me in all things we would be in rather a lot of trouble!
  18. the village idiot
    Well said that man (or woman)? I feel the same but was too much of a wussy to reply directly. With all due respect Ti, that article is not well considered and laced with misguided religious nonsense.

    Afternoon good people of woody persuasion. Last call for ready to go Ash logs for this season. £65 per cubic mtr +VAT. Collected from South Suffolk. 100 cube still available. All the best TVI.

    A fine suggestion Kevin. You would evidently make a fine Druid. The only potential flaw that I can see in your otherwise fabulous plan would be if the client had no offspring to offer as reward/spirit appeasement. Presumably if the job is anywhere West of say Gloucester then the tree planter would be just as content with a sheep or goat? After 100 gallons of fine ale those West Country folk care little about the species of their night time nuzzle. (Allegedly)

    I'm with you Paul
  22. the village idiot
    And what prey is wrong with that?
  23. the village idiot
    Bill Bailey reckons that 'Little Chefs' were built on the convergence points of major ley lines and that the roads came much later, joining them all up!
  24. the village idiot
    Thanks for all the ideas:thumbup: I like the look of Logs n' Stuff's mini tarps, probably try them out in the first instance. I don't own the woodland so like to keep things reasonably respectable looking. Nothing wrong with big tarps in principle they just look a bit rough.
  25. the village idiot
    I bet they gulped when you unfurled yourself from the cab Daniel!?
