It's in Rheden, NL, I used to work not far from there, I'm starting to fancy a road trip via Amsterdam - on second thoughts, better make that on the return journey in case I forget what I was going for ?

I found this one: https://www.machinio.com/manufacturer/ausa?man=ausa&page=9#quickview/32397250 Which one did you see?

Where aboots in Staffs are 'e? Parents in Law need a couple of Pop taken to in Kingsley and I'm not up that way any time soon. Fancy having a look at it for 'em?

That's only necessary iffum you choose to integrate...

And an extra webbed foot gives automatic Bard status!

Got over excited and forgot to answer the other parts - like you didn’t set me up for an uncontrolled rant intentionally.... Is Cornwall in Europe? That’s a complex and emotional question Mr ? as you well know! A bit like Scotland, there are deeply entrenched elements in Cornwall that refuse to acknowledge that they are even associated with England! They (supposedly) despise the centralised imposition of government from a foreign country but in a quirky twist of paradoxical logical, embrace the EU - go figure? Youll need visas and language training before working in Cornwall, what’s on the plan? What we discussed or has something additional come up??

Off topic, but I was moved to phone in to LBC this avvo after his interview this morning- didn’t get on. ?? His suggestion that art 50 be unilaterally withdrawn on the basis weme not ready has some truth / accuracy and I’d support that position iffum fat, pompous, useless pontificating mouth pieces like him and his useless bunch of supercilious Westminster cronies would acknowledge the REASON weme ‘not ready’ is entirely attributable to THEIR entrenched, assumed superiority which has resulted in their unilateral unwillingness to DO THEIR FUCKING JOB and make us ready, So yes Ken, when you pony up and admit that you and yours are the REASON weme not ready, and you hand back 2 years of salary and RESIGN in disgrace, I’ll agree with ya, weme not ready because YOU didn’t do your job. (Steps down from soap box to the resounding sound of rapturous applause and a standing ovation....)

? Company appears to be Spanish. This whole bloody Brexit nonsense is gonna bollox any potential there might have been right up! Bloody little Englanders will be the doom of us all! Never has Ken Clark talked so much sense - bin art 50, ignore the will of the plebiscite. I’m all in for Europe now since there’s a minor personal interest that obviously supersedes any wider, broader, national / international considerations....

Agreed, difficult to judge the relative scale. It ‘appears’ to present a valid challenge to the cabstar level and waseezs all over the transit class. Maybe a contender for the perennial driving licence V over loading scenario (depending on how it measures up on price and driver class). I bet the price will kill it - only LAs and European LAs (equivalents) would be daft enough to part with tax payers money to buy ‘em.

In comparison to a Cabstar: https://www.parkers.co.uk/vans-pickups/nissan/cabstar/2007-dimensions/

This rather caught my eye, heaven only knows what sort of category it would be placed in by VOSA though?

These look quite useful - almost like a mini-Mog. The 40 km/h is a bummer. http://www.ausa.com/media/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Urban_EN.pdf http://www.ausa.com/products/m-350-h/

I've got OEM back weights which I used to keep on the machine but found I was just carting extra weight around for no real benefit so I took 'em off and haven't missed them. Horses for courses an all that....

Bit of an aside, but if I’d just had my dog confiscated on the basis of ‘not being under adequate control’ and then been hit with a 2k bill to get it back, I’d be at every local hunt meet demanding parity of treatment such that the entire hound pack be confiscated.

Of course I do, you know that. And you know I see sense in many (not all!) of your posts. But that was just daft, unnecessarily provocative and to the detriment of the points you were trying to relay.

Did you take your previous post down yrself Vesp? It was the surest ticket on a one way journey to permanent exclusion as might ever be expected.... Totally inappropriate.

Clumsiness (as well as obviously wholly inappropriate) wording it as “oversee”. Just to really push the buttons, you could have made a complete ass of the job, smash the shed/fence/greenhouse, kill the cat and dump hyd oil all over the drive - LA overseeing (owning the job) so please refer any complaints to the green space man. Obvs an unrealistic scenario but funny....

Haven’t read to the end yet (Luther on Beeb!) But saw this on FB which made me (a) larf and (b) think of Stubby: A woman decides to have a face lift for her 50th birthday. She spends £15,000 and looks sensational. On her way home, she stops at a news stand to buy a newspaper. Before leaving, she says to the clerk, ‘I hope you don’t mind my asking, but how old do you think I am?”. ‘About 32,’ is the reply.’ ‘Nope! I’m exactly 50,’ the woman says happily. A little while later she goes into McDonald’s and asks the counter girl the very same question. The girl replies, ‘I’d guess about 29.’ The woman replies with a big smile, ‘Nope, I’m 50.’ Now she’s feeling really good about herself. She stops at a candy shop on her way down the street. She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the assistant the same burning question. The clerk responds, ‘Oh, I’d say 30.’ Again she proudly responds, ‘I’m 50, but thank you!’ While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question. He replies, ‘Lady, I’m Stubby and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was. It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra Then, and only then, I can tell you EXACTLY how old you are.’ They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the better of her. She finally blurts out, ‘What the hell, go ahead.’ He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully. He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple. He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other. After a couple of minutes of this, she says, ‘Okay, okay.....How old am I?’ He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, ‘Madam, you are 50.’ Stunned and amazed, the woman says, ‘That was incredible, how could you tell?’ ‘I was behind you at McDonalds’.

?? those 2 comments both make really good sense!

Sounds really suss to me!

I had this scenario in a local wood. 2x whippet off lead came at me and the old girl (GSD) like a pair of Exocet missiles. Owner 150m away shouting like a banshee. 1 came to the front of my dog, the other to the back - attack formation. Their owner was considerably less impressed than I was with the quick double kick which sent them squealing. I took no pleasure in it but neither was I going to risk the potential vets bills and the blame game because I had a GSD.

2k for what? An assessment to see if tis on the DD list? £75 tops. That's gotta be kennel fees by my guess. Do they charge storage fees for all evidence that is seized - I don't think so.

No "Hoose" was intentional - even had to correct the auto-correct ? (apparently, if you write bollox and fill it up with typo's nobody will say yome talking out your hoop....) And compo! Sounds like they seized the dog and sent it to a commercial kennel and now want to recoup they costs. Sounds well suss - but what can you do? You want your dog back first, then kick off like billy-O

Did the Rozzers put in an appearance at the scene of the incident then Stubby, or did they call by the hoose after the event and take the dog away? Putting myself in either, but especially the latter scenario, and mindful that we always have a slack handful of German Sheperd dogs here, I can't even imagine a situation where I'd surrender any of them without a warrant (and even then, things wouldn't be too amicable.)

Didn't have this job in mind for January, wasn't expecting to get the mower out of it's slumber for quite some time yet:
