    Snap! On ice breaker can plummet at a damn fast speed on any bike
  3. Chunkymunky
    Yeah theres that too. I was always out walking with mine back in the day. Can't have a dog for now but will do. My sadie back then

    I would usually get my ex's dad to do it but he's away. He operates out of droitwich. I have quite happily been using my apollo slant for 5 years and really abusing it. For a £150 halfords half price offer it has done amazingly. Now however it really is deceased. Did icebreaker at eastnor on it and had a heavy landing. Thought ok though. Did another event at Hallow and back wheel came off. Bottom of the forks at the back have bend and buckled. I am planning on doing more riding later in the year and long charity rides next year. So will go a bit better then i think.

    I know theres a mayhem even in glos coming up. New forest is "special" to a lot of the residents.

    Sounds like you need a new sidekick. It's not betraying a friend it's acknowledging the part that friend played in your life. Sure a new dog would help you look back happily on time you did have together. Chin up. She's got all the bones she could ever dream of to chew now!

    Done nothing but chopping again. Took bike to have bottom bracket replaced and crank/bearings done. Guy gave me all the spiel about it being a cheap sh!t bike. How i should bin it and buy a £500 bike. Told him to naff off basically. That i didn't come to be told me stuff is rubbish. Really sick of the elitist attitude of cycling already. I jyst want something that gets about. Jeez

    Watched the marathon. Put a reminder in calendar to enter ballot this year. Changed a mixer tap for old man. Chopped more wood. Put plasters on resulting blisters. Lamb shanks then f1. Good day. But tomorrow i have the great pleasure in walking a mile through a culvert/storm drain assessing it for damage. Then back to woods for a bit of brushcutting hopefully

    You could try making biochar. You'd have to look up the processes but basically its very similar to making charcoal with tweeks. Resulting product is charcoal around outside of the drum and a very good fertiliser on the inside. If you put that on plants in a dry area it absorbs water and slow releases. Also a good seller. It's the new big eco thingy coming
  16. Chunkymunky
    And tomorrow i will be.......oh chopping more firewood. Ash tomorrow to hopefully easier. Watching f1 and lamb shank for dinner
  17. Chunkymunky

    We cut an inch off a leg of the bosses chair he had not long bought. He had been saying what an amazing chair it was. He couldn't figure out why it would tip one way or another. My worst was when i left my first long term job at supermarket where managers had been sods i decided to give them a parting gift. I bout the ex lax chocolates. Rewrapped them and put them in a bowl. Went round the normal staff with a bowl of those little dairy milk chocolates, so when i knocked on the door of the managers meeting they were expecting me. Left the bowl of ex lax and left. No idea of the outcome but friend told me several went home.

All in 18 inch rounds. We have filled the log store for this winter already. Going to have to build another now! Still got 2 trees worth of ash to split then the old man can rest easy.

    Boarding school. Fold bottom sheet back. Blanket over. Called apple pie. People would rip the sheet trying to get into bed. Or removing all the spring/slats so they fall through the bed

    There was a young lad wanting to climb gloucester way. New to forum.

    I would imagine its more likely to be used on people who owe a huge amount with no obvious means of paying.

    Personally i have discovered over the last few days using a shave horse for 4 hours to trim down wood and using long pull strokes on a draw knife really works the stomach muscles!!
