  1. I was expecting you to say that, You could bring you're uncle James to play Rigsby get it?
  2. We'll find room for steve, we have visiters come up from the smoke and step out of their cars and inhale some fresh air and say how can you tear youself away from here, to which i say i never said i never did!! But after a few days of walking up the riverside to the waterfall having picnics etc, i sense they couldnt live here, they would miss the live football matches, bingo halls, theatre, etc, .. not to mention frightened of the cows, and little opertunity's for youngsters, basically dont come here to get rich but come for a quality of life.
  3. Living in the wilds of Mid-Wales has its drawbacks but having breakins is not one them as burglary is quite rare, I dont know how you chaps stick it.
  4. Lol, i remember the grey lady episode, laughed untill i dropped, another good one was when phillip and alan broke up some rigsbys funiture and told him it was African love wood and if he waved it alight at miss Jones the aroma would be irristable to her.
  5. Exactly same as me Steve, Rupert Rigsby what a character, i had the all the series for rising damp christmas last year, he had a brain as sharp as a lazer,
  6. Used to love Minder back in its day in 80's, one of my top 10 programmes of all time , brilliant,
  7. Yes a terrible day, get Terry McCann on the case, he'd sort them out.
  8. Well by the look of the brashmat it been felled a while already, so the immediate moisture has evaporated already, who is to say how many forwarders will be there, only one i can see, and why is the forwarder so far behind with forwarding, the smaller stuff like chip and biomass will probably loose more than 10% week, If i was the woodland owner or the contractor i wouldnt be happy to see my profits go up in thin air... who would.
  9. Criminal to see all those thousands of ton of timber still in the wood loosing weight everyday untll the lorry pick it up. its taken 50 years to grow the crop to which the timber is drying out at about 10% a week.
  10. Did it happen at a corner on a back country lane or was it at Frome itself?
  11. Been out on the Ktm enduro bike again this afternoon and evening, rode miles and miles along the hills and moorlands of Mid-Wales, through the vast Hafren forest and back home again to wash the bike off, perhaps i shouldn't have gone out alone as who would of found me if anything went wrong, but i'm back in one piece.
  12. Grey skies, showers this morning and heavy rain this afternoon with the wind howling. infact its so wet the fish are sheltering under the bridge in the river !!!
  13. who is Jemima then if its Seth's birthday? or are they twins.
  14. Thanks Mark, as i do you. Seems us 1968 models are quite skilled at talking bollox afterall. I studied it at Uni 86-89. oohps there i go again. cheers.
  15. Tell you what Mark i'll tell Ross Poldark to forget about the six pack as thats old hat now and go heavy on the stella for an eighter, .. i cant be fairer than that.
  16. i wonder what the Bolam statisics are after all those cans of Stella.
  17. 6' and a bit and 14 stone 9 ibs
  18. Didn't know there was such demand for dandelions, daisy's and the such like,
  19. Yes you're right Stubby, but what i cant understand is how he gets around to do some work and run his affairs etc, he's here posting from 6 in the morning till midnight sometimes, surely there is more to life than posting messages on a bulliten board with such frequency, seems he is making a career out it.
  20. Had a day out enduro riding with my son, steep hills, bogs, over brash in the wood, stumps, bracken,forest roads, you name it we rode over it, I must make more time available to do more of it, knackered, sore and stiff but satisfied, stopped off for a pub lunch and off to go again, what more can i ask for!!!
  21. I agree, in my opinion what a lot of people dont take into consideration is its a matter of fitness and work ethic, you can have someone with all the tickets etc and a beer belly with arms like a sparrow, i know in my mind that 8 out of ten of those type wont make the grade, most of the men who have worked for me over the years have been slim jims about 5'9'' and 11 to 12 stone. Who been brought up to work by their parents, working on a hillside in the midday sun in july day after day wearing all the clobber sweating buckets is not everyone's cup of tea. But we all have start somewhere.
  22. You need to run the cold water tap a bit more jon !!!
  23. yes i agree, but its pretty obvious that he wanted out. contract or no contract... all a bit of a storm in a teacup. blown up out all proportion by the media on a quiet news day.
