  1. Some neat joints there, How deep did you manage to get the telegraph poles?
  2. Site sponsors Skyland do them about the same price Outdoors Cooking Equipment - Campaign Cooking Gear & Sets Ordered some stuff from them the other day, good service.
  3. Hi Mate That really sucks, nothing like letting someone get on in life. As John says it's probably a small minded idiot, I bet they've had a successful career and are now retired! Nowt better to do. Keep us informed with how this goes, thinking about coming down some time next year so will give you a ring if I do.
  4. I was in Somerset until 3 years ago and wouldn't have got £11/hour for general farm work more like £8 so I think you're doing ok

    Not sushi I know but if it's uncooked fish you want then this is in my cold smoker today. 2 1/2 large salmon smoking away nicely Yum Yum

    Silky bit me!

    From that I'm reading "expect legislation within 24 months" Not a dig at anyone at all, just seems to be the way things are going nowadays
  15. Have you got a link to these discs?
  16. Just once? You're not putting enough effort in.
  17. Clear the cache in firefox last night and it seemed to help. Had a good play this morning and sure enough all working fine now. Thanks.
  18. Swapped from firefox to internet explorer and it seems to be working ok now
  19. That's sharper than my hycrack! Try slowing the revs down, I find different types of wood need different speeds. Easy with my old Zetor as you just change gear to change the PTO speed. For instance wet sitka I would use 2nd, cherry 3rd and dryish ash 4th or even 5th, I don't know what actual revs this equates to, just have a play and see if it makes a difference.
  20. Best 404 I ever seen, that dog walks on water!
  21. Jon, you've got to get yourself a camera, I think it would be great.
  22. Got a Rayburn Royal SF in our current house, been living here for a year and it's been excellent. It does everything that you want and the savings in fuel costs are massive but I wouldn't want to be buying in logs for it! (Our electricity bill for the winter quarter last year was £56) Not sure about the age of ours but I have seen older ones around. We do all the cooking on it, it heats the water to a skin burning temperature whilst ticking over and also keeps the house fairly warm although we do light the woodburner in the lounge in the evening at this time of year. Fuel wise it uses about 2 cube of loose softwood every 3 weeks or so but we do put 1/2 a scuttle of coal on it every night just to help keep it in. As to cost, surely your aga is worth nearly as much as normandylumberjck paid for his reconditioned rayburn. Unfortunately we have just been given notice by our landlords so will be leaving this house shortly, the rayburn is one of the things I will miss about this place.
  23. Got involved with a fencing job on a disputed boundary, by 11.30 the neighbour had called in the police and I ended up loosing a days work. Not worth the hassle, avoid it.
  24. Nice one Just check your website, it's excellent, clear and uncluttered and not trying to be "clever." A lot of people could learn from that. Best of luck.
  25. Wet windy and cold here. Dry forecast for tomorrow.
