They belong to Mrs Rover, thanks. They were man-made, the Father-in-law had a bit to do with it, the mother-in-law had something to do with it as well...

That is a little bit right proper awesome, innit!

That's proper cool, what sort of size is it?

Those "breasts" as they are normally referred to, are firmly attached to Mrs Rover:001_tt2:

I might be wrong,but I believe it's illegal to intentionally destroy a hornet's nest? If so your customer was just sensible really...

Because of the "body" of the hedge, animals recognise it as a non-crossable boundary much easier. Obviously that only goes for a good, dense hedge with no gaps in. Need a hedgelayer?

I have one of those, heated grips are awesome. And if you're worried about people worrying about the extra emissions, the switch is very discreet...

+1!! It takes strength of character to come back on a decision like that, to concede to the viewpoints of your peers, especially if it was set to make you some easy(?) money.

I don't mean to be pedantic or nuffink Tony, but Africa as such does not have a government.

Ask "wooded" on here, he'll give you an un-biased view of those two:lol:

In the Netherlands, barbed wire for stockfencing is not allowed. As a consequence leather from Dutch cows is exported at a premium price to mainly Italy for pretty bags and such. It commands a (much) higher price due to the lack of scarring from barbed wire or "them flies what lay eggs in boils in cows skin". In Australia the fence what most of us would consider quite large areas with just plain wire, but then I suppose over there "the grass is just as brown....":biggrin: I had to shoot a horse once after it had caught it's mane in a barbed wire, got distressed, got more stuck, more distressed, panicked and freaked out and broke 2 legs in addition to the horrible (but superficial) skin and flesh-wounds. Now it probably was not the best fence, or the smartest horse but without that barbed wire there it would not have happened. There is just no need for it, it can cause animals harm and distress and there are perfectly fine alternatives:confused1:

I'm not jealous, honest! Well maybe a little... Or perhaps a lot! Awesome mate, congrats!

Are you now contractually obliged to give such advise as they were in your prize? :lol:

are you bored:sneaky2:

How ironic, considering The Netherlands has banned the use of barbed wire to use for animal fencing. (It's fine to use on people, they should know better)

In civilized countries, it's illegal...

I wouldn't care if a paramedic was stark bollock naked and had quotes from "mein kampf" tattooed all over him/her when busy saving a life. When said patient is saved/dead though, it becomes a different matter... I have no employees but do use a couple of local subbies. When they work with me they wear the t-shirts I give them. To cover their tattoos and their modesty.

This thread is two years old !

As mentioned before, a British design...

There is no such thing as "too wet soil", just tyres that are not quite wide enough:biggrin:

Yes, they are. There is a special piece of legislation relating to this. S11 of the Employment Act 1989 exempts turban-wearing Sikhs from any requirements to wear safety helmets on a construction site. Where a turban-wearing Sikh is injured on a construction site liability for injuries is restricted to the injuries that would have been sustained if the Sikh had been wearing a safety helmet.

In addition to the "farmed" argument, plastics can be made from a wide variety of plant-based oils and starches.

No they couldn't. They tried a record attempt and the fastest one ever built was in 4 and a bit days. Normal construction time (bearing in mind the whole world was under immense time-pressure) took about 6 weeks.

If you own goats you'll need a lot more than one word as you'll soon run out of swearwords! I found I've had to resort to German, French and some eastern European languages in addition to my Native Dutch and English. The band "cake" said it once (as did some obscure christian book, the bible?) "Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell" They'll ring-bark all the trees, considering they're only 10 years old. Same with pigs, you're trees are still too small for such measures.

I used to run a branch of a mobile lorry-washing company (I know, very glamorous) and the only thing we could rely on were Honda engined Kärcher ones. Big 20hp engine with enough power to blow the odd work experience kid off their feet when caught off-guard, great machines. Takes 2 people to lift one though.
