An arbtalk thunder dome if you will ?
-
That and whatever you do, fit a roll bar on the rear, some mud guards and a pto shield. Many a farmer has stopped being a farmer through getting caught up 🙂.

Down the pub after a few I can kinda understand but during the day. I couldn't care if he had an excuse either 🙂

Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres
GarethM replied to Big J's topic in The Lounge
If I had aylar at home, think the car would get SORN. -
Taking a swing at anyone like that is a definite police only, apologies count for nothing. Might be time to invest in a cheap go pro for whoever is on lollipop duty. Not saying I wouldn't get frustrated, but to assault someone crosses a line where you wonder what they'd do to their wife.

Petition for legislation for winter and all season tyres

Sadly a lot of drivers lack the common sense we had in years gone by and don't alter the driving style. We don't need winter tyres here, people just need to use common sense. I'm a country lad who can 99% of the time get further than most idiots driving posh 4x4s. High gear and use the clutch to start etc. You can always tell on an icy day when people are bumper to bumper at traffic lights, it's a wtf leave space as you watch them slip en slide!. -
Didn't know that and I've watched a lot of boaty YouTube over the years 🙂.
-
Would it be better buying through a chandler or whatever the name is for a boat estate agent ?. Bit more peace of mind if it did go south in the depths kinda way?
-
Not really, if the seller is charging what you think is an unreasonable amount they won't buy and will never buy from you again. We all have companies we won't deal with through past experiences. It'll be a flash in the pan short term wise, Eastern Europe is hardly going to sit around before flooding the market in the new year when it's one the their largest exports.

I'm not sure about the validity of that trial, growing up in the 90s and the amounts of drugs used by drinkers and party animals back then didn't seem to have much of an impact on the lack of drinking. Maybe all that drinking on the park was a positive thing, compared to the yoof afterwards?.
-
What are you trying to prove with your numbers ?. You either sell them or not, it's a buyer's market at the end of the day, you can charge what you like but the old adage stands true. Once bitten twice shy.

Whilst I've not checked my gas bill recently, I'd be a bit dubious about mains gas being more expensive, think someone last week worked it out to 5p. Calor gas or LPG has historically always been one of the most expensive forms of heating. Zero competition and all that as it's a branded tank arrangement mostly.

What make/type of gloves do you wear ,working in your wood yard?
GarethM replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
I wear a lot of cheap and cheerful leather rigger gloves, they might be resistant to a lot of things but usually in the bin well before from wearing out the fingertips. -

Well the ones you want are discontinued, for £7 give them a try. -

Google "powergrab thermo gloves 335". Amazon selling them, the 334 looks exactly like the ones from Screwfix at £7 -
Must be all those mucky movies your filming on the driveway, is it a proper nudest holidays resort or just the typical pampas grass kind of arrangement?.
-
I don't think they should either, my local council tried something similar a while back. It's something from central government that requires them to do it. Whilst at the same time they'll just buy a plot of land before a bank holiday, tarmac it to the hills and then waste millions in court.
-
3million divided into 14, wouldn't it just be cheaper to buy a few houses ?.
-
The alarmists will just say it's all part of global warming. We'll boil in summer and freeze in winter and we can run around for the rest of the year waving placards and super gluing ourselves to roads or whatever George tells us is bad. The word they'll use is cyclical, like our seasons
-
I've several footpaths, one up the driveway and past the house. Whilst it's all well and good most of the time, dog mess and the occasional self entitled horse owner ruin what joy it brings from people the nice comments people make.
-
Rustic!, I'd want a Thames barrier kinda arrangement. Spiked tyres strips and the great escape levels of barbed wire, I don't like my neighbours obviously.
-
I'd be tempted to timber clad a steel frame, okay probably a lot more weight but a lot more secure. Plus if it's got a frame you could always automate it in the future.
-
I'm not so sure the deer liked the rest of his morning 😉

Split 50/50 ?
-
Well, sale price wise it's not going below £120 even next year. You can only know many m3 can you get out of an average artic load to work your numbers. Plus remember probably 300+ of that 2.5k will be diesel for the delivery. Personally if any more than 120 at the moment, then the gas boiler goes on.
