  1. Good Morning Grey and pleasantly cool. No apparent rain yet, cheers Stubby. Off to Pompey to see the fossil and do some small tasks. Avoiding the kerfuffel from the local military show thank goodness. Have a safe one.
  2. Pretty sure I work with No4 and defo know a couple.
  3. Good Morning Steady on Jase! Keep yer powder dry for the weekend. Cool start, local job. Finally living the dream. Have a safe one.
  4. Michael Madsen Maybe not the greatest actor, to me he added a lot to the Kill Bill films
  5. Good Morning. Decent kip finally. Have a pleasant day.
  6. Good Morning and happy humpday Wednesday. Closer Saturday, Christmas, 2050....which is a bit depressing. Hope you all start to feel a bit more on the up. As a kid year 2000 was a lifetime away, now 2050 actually might be attainable...if I make make my late 80's Will it be flying cars and laser cutting "saws"? Be safe
  7. Good Morning Jase, all. A bit cooler overnight but, yes. Looks like "Scorchio" Be safe.
  8. Good Morning. Hot and sweaty here too. Rubbish kip. Cooler start to another hot one. Keep safe and hydrated.
  9. Understand 100% Chain oil I'm very happy with, but I have trust issues too over deviating from the oil I know and trust.
  10. I've used Gator Oil for chain oil. They do a 2 stroke oil. I have used similar before but ended up going back to Stihl Ultra out of a (false?) sense of security 2 Stroke Oil Red Mineral - Gator Oils GATORLUBRICANTS.CO.UK Our red mineral engine oil is a high performance, low ash 2-stroke oil. It is specially formulated with the latest additive technology & base oil components to produce a low smoke...
  11. Good Morning A day on the splitter beckons. As long as it's overcast I'll not get too crispy. Have fun.
  12. Good Morning The Cockerel alarm is running half hour fast. Have a splendid day/weekend. p.s Rain must be on the way soon. Wimbledon starts in a bit.
  13. A proper Dakar rep...not the modern fashionable 2 wheeled Christmas trees with metal panniers. Keep rocking the old but gold. I wish I had the legs to ride one. DR650 nearly did for me. I'll stick to the road thanks. User Maintainable and minimal electronics.
  14. Good morning Few days away. Nice to be back to my early rooster alarm call and a bit of rain. Balham beckons. Enjoy yourselves
  15. p.s. I have an 8x5 with cage sides too. Scaffolding debris net and those tie-on bungees and then a few smaller 750kg straps.
  16. Might not be the same, but my 12x6 ifor I found one of those stretchy chinese cargo nets works. Ratchet down then net over. Or vice-versa if you want. Showing you've tried is key, I think. You've made best efforts and so unless you loon around and attract attention, you ought to be good. Ought to be...as in, if they want to stick you on they will.

    Chickens?

    always gets me how fast they feather up. Then it'll be mini roadrunners trying to fly. Superb stuff.
  18. Good Morning Have a splendid day. Keep hydrated. At least till later
  19. No such luck. Couldn't even drive my little VW to work in the end on nights. Despite being £30 tax it was a frugal (70-85mpg) little diesel and fell foul of Sultan Khan's ULEZ rules. Final nail for me. Onwards and upwards. Now drive the company diesel on their time into town. All works out in the end. :-)
  20. If you mean me. No, when on the rail (the company I worked for was a contractor) I paid my own travel to and from work. Bit Sh1t but I signed up knowing it.
  21. I put 7 because that is what I'm doing currently. Long may it last. With the Telecoms thing, when I worked in London on a 4 on 4 off. They were 12 hour shifts but my day also included 1.5 hours each way travel. For months it really was sleep work sleep work...then rest. Repeat. Even 5on 2 off with 8 hr shifts you added another 3hrs travel. Glad I'm out of it. Just got to keep going till I can retire. then it'll be 3 hour days of hardcore pottering. :-)
  22. Good Morning Looks fab, almost at the finishing line. Have fun.
  23. Good Morning Hump day again. Dag-nabbit, I'm not a euro-millionaire. Off to work I go. Have a good 'un
  24. Good Morning Bit grey, cool. Missed the weekly farmers weather forecast so it's all a bit of a lottery this week. Have a pleasant Tuesday

    Chickens?

    Ours usually live in the same small house in an outside run/pet cage. The cage has a lower level that has small cube weldmesh cable tied to it as the little beggars could walk through the bars and become crow food. Only do it once. Drinkers are 2 shallow dishes. One with crumb and the other water. Water quickly gets filled with crumb and cack and is changed almost twice daily. Advantage is the rest of the gang, chickens ,dogs and cats get used to seeing them and they them. Come liberation day when mum wants no more to do with them, they then become their own little gang and either follow the rest of go their own way. Good luck.
