When assessing I saw loads of people with incredibly low mileage cars who had accidents So statistically they are having loads more accidents than high mileage drivers Typically they carry on driving until they have accident, then they stop....... I reckon some of them use cars instead of zimmer frames ..... When gov't provided disabled with free car, free insurance and petrol money There was no financial cost to them when they had accident I had regulars , i used to see one driver every couple of weeks Last time I saw him he was screwing piece of plywood over two passenger doors cos they wouldn't fasten , self tappers through ply into front and rear wings - this was to keep doors shut Car was about four months old - it had handpainted wing by then too Unbelieveable thing is that he wasn't disabled, his wife was .......

My dad went up and down, we used to joke with the tides Not so funny when it's me Took me years to realise I go up and down with the moon I have a couple of bad days each month , but at the dark of the moon, not the normal full moon.... I'd suggest marking a diary when your down, might suprise you Once you know it'll be over in a few days much easier to manage ....... So yes I guess that makes me a genuine lunatic.......

I'm not in the log business But I wonder if the solution is bagged logs from latvia sold from the forecourt of a closed petrol station Big handwritten sign CASH AND CARRY LOGS Let customers fill their boots, no delivery involved Six month lease on forecourt from say september to march Can't imagine simpler business model

I think the world is going the other way Had to sort out my mums house and everyone wanted cash Including Skip hire Locksmith Plumber Guy who did enviromental check Contract cleaners Antique dealer Carpet layers Gardener etc etc It was a revelation to me, These were all kosher businesses but they had all moved over to cash --- I think its a reaction to MP's expenses ...... Came away wondering if I was being stupid doing everything through the books .........

Do you have trouble with brakes? Mine always having to be freed off.....

I've got one of these Happy with it till I came on this forum But it needs 1) much bigger table, going to modify mine 2) logs get stuck behind blade, I keep small sledge dropped down top for this 3) logs get stuck on blade, a bracket welded on frame would let you use bit of wood to push stuck log off the blade - i think a full width wedge blade would be better Works fine with nice straight timber, but a lot of mine are knarly Mine is very early one, I actually won his development prototype off ebay then upgraded to production one ........ UPSUM. Would be 100% better with bigger non slip table

I was planting up a five acre bracken covered bank I wanted to plant a holly orchard Stupidly I went for a grant Turned down holly on grounds it would be monoculture So they planted five acres of rubbish that will always be worthless We call it " the worthless wood " Last time anyone talks me out of my ideas ....... Thats the only good to come out of it - a long thin five acres would have been fantastic cover for woodcock etc
