  1. Refreshing to see England actually on top after the misery of the world cup. You recon the new managers making a difference this quickly?
  2. I had similar once when a chap asked for the timber off a job. We said yeah for a drink my friend. Took the wood and I return we got tesco value bitter... think we left it in the grave yard where we were working.
  3. Edge of me seat at the end
  4. I'll be looking at a new tree motion but not keen on the price. The black Friday price some shops where doing was more like it! Hope fully I will get a deal if I can hold out for the arb show
  5. i thought geotrophic was the roots heading downwards and phototrophic was the plant heading for the light (please excuse dodgy spelling).
  6. I'm the air streams didn't live up to the hype. Had husqvarna pro technical boots prior and was happy with them. All ways had hair prior to that but the last pair the tongue somehow filled with sawdust so I couldn't get my feet in- v uncomfortable. Not sure what to get next
  7. All sorts but I know the tune but will get one line stuck in me head and not know the rest. One song has the line 'gun for hire'. That usually goes round on a good days subbing with an early finish. In the zone!
  8. Park Hill training ran one in January. That's Loughborough

  12. Wowzer Bit heavy going
  13. Little bit off subject from the OP... I had a job once where i had tipped the wood chip, loaded up the cheery timber (maybe a level load up to the original sides), chipper in tow. In combe martin, took a wrong turn and ended up heading up a steep hill. I was in first with foot flat and she was singing! then she started to die!! just would not pull it! had to reverse all the way back down and go another way. I just never thought that a cabstar, being so low geared, would never make it up a hill in first!! Advanatge of the 300tdi you can drop it in to low box, like my hilux.
  14. Well that didn't go to plan got a call out just before half time in the face Italy. Just got back in. Was looking foward to watching the rugby 😭 mind you Italy looked strong from what I saw of them
  15. a and b contractors out near blackmoor gate. will only do stuff up to inch thick he says. £45/ hour
  16. Single wheels save a bit on weight but more likely to sink in soft ground
  17. Cracker
  18. Bunch of nutters
  19. A big ladder then get slaying. Ivy can really add time to what could be a pleasurable climb
  20. As in brush cutter? If it is around trees etc
  21. Yeah that's what I ment. Mast kayak gear does not breath very well although you can get gore tex items at great expense. I would put a vote in for the hoggs gore tex bottoms. Although they are not a fitted fit they are waterproof and breath reasonably well.
  22. I had the strauss trousers, came up big on the waist but short on the leg but none the less they were a hard wearing trouser. Referring back to one of the previous posts by a one of the ladies. My wife is very slim size 8. Currently she is in Xs hi-flex. I think next set will be a pair of the gladiators as they come in extra small.
  23. You'll quickly warm up in a kayak cag. Most have a text seals on the neck and cuffs
  24. Just sold me cabs tar as it needed to much work to put through another mot. So after another tipper anyone got anything half decent in the sub 2250 bracket? Cheers Mark
  25. Can beat the old fourtrak with the diesel pump wound up. No smoke no poke.
