Not the worst thing to cut, maybe the worst thing to watch! [ame] [/ame]

Yes I am pleased and proud that England won but Scotland were not overwhelmed in the way Ireland were in this clip [ame] [/ame] The way I remember the game on Saturday is that the scrums were 50:50 as were the line outs. I cannot remember many turn overs and very few handling errors. Tackling errors yes but trying to stop Joseph on his beautifully times runs would be beyond most players. Scotland put quite a lot of pressure on England at times. I have sat in the South West corner many a time and some games where one side was dominant, you had a rotten half visually as a spectator as the action was all down the other end. This was not the case on Saturday. I just think that the score did not reflect the game. Maybe 42 to 21 would have been fairer. Scotland have been playing well up till now and it is a real body blow to suffer such a defeat. Just a shame to knock their increasing confidence as I would love to watch more even games like the Welsh Irish match which was genuinely exciting.

I think that the reason we have not heard from the OP Logdesperate is that having lit the blue touch paper on this forum, he is now cheerfully warming his hands on his computer screen!

Tyres are good with new ones on the front LAND ROVER TYRES 600-16 and 750-16 For Sale on Car And Classic UK [C330200] But you are spot on with rest of your comment, especially about the weight being spread at the rear. It was just a demonstration to show that on a level grass field, no special off road course, that a six wheel drive Landie with five wheels turning can fail to progress to the surprise of many, except for the knowledgeable few on here! PS Good job the rain held off until Saturday night for the Rugby!

I still stand by my opinion that Scotland did a great deal of good work and that it is a bit unfair to judge them harshly when they were down to 14 men and lost a key figure with Hogg injured. They showed great spirit and determination at the end when many a side would have just given up. Joseph's tries were a piece of individual magic and impossible to defend against. I just read John Barclay's comments on the game and I am amazed that they still could come second in the six nations! "“It’s pretty dark at the moment but we get to finish with Italy at a sold-out Murrayfield and still have the possibility of finishing second. So there’s a lot to play for but we also have to learn some lessons.” "

Went to Twickenham yesterday and was slightly underwhelmed by the massive England victory. Felt sorry for Scotland who played well and tackled hard and never gave up right up to the end. The final score did not reflect their strong performance against the favourites. All the players are so good now that there are hardly any errors. Few penalties given away near the posts and very few handling errors. It only needs a small mistake now or an unlucky bounce to make a try scoring opportunity. All the tries were excellent but the game did not really flow. By contrast I was on the edge of my seat watching the Wales/ Ireland game. It was 80 minutes of full steam, great Rugby and the tackling was so brutal you wonder how those young men's bodies will stand it. Maybe they will start to introduce American football type of protection at some point. Anyone else feel the same?

It is my special field for demonstrating to people who think their 4x4 is invincible, that it is not! The one wheel which is not turning you can see has quite a chunky tread on it, as have the other five, but they have been turned into slicks by the sticky clay. In this case I do not think locking diffs across each axle would have made any difference,. Charging the mud may have helped if momentum was maintained on the other hand it may just put you deeper in the mud. In the same way letting the air out of the tyres which are crossply I do not think would have helped but I am willing to be corrected on this. I was very impressed with a German friend when we were in Namibia driving over very soft sand on the way to Sossusflei. We had bottomed out in a really soft patch of sand and the chassis was resting on the sand. He let the air out of the tyres. I thought that all it would do was make the chassis go down even further onto the sand but the Defender just pulled out easily. I am not sure how that translates into sticky clay.

I suppose y'all would have found it a more interesting video if Sandringham Sydney had suddenly found a bit of traction while I was outside filming and had started off towards the beck with me running after it!

This is delightfully dated. Perhaps I should invite them over to try the grass field if they still exist! [ame] [/ame]

Perhaps I should try these tyres to haul a bit of timber [ame] [/ame]

Were you thinking of massive Trelleborg low ground pressure? These are proper off road tyres standard fit for series 3 and two new ones on the front. [ame] [/ame] A Discovery had same problem in the same field. Once the really sticky clay has filled the tread and there is nothing underneath in the way of stone that soil will stop most things. Even the Matbro stopped and I had to use the boom to push myself out. The only diff lock is the air locking centre diff which was obviously engaged. There are no locking diffs across the axle on any of the old Land Rovers unless put on as an extra, hence the one front wheel which was not turning. More weight on the back is a possibilty but there is nothing under the clay but more clay to push down to ,so it may end up going down to the axles!

Land Rover V8 Sandringham 6 comes to a halt with five wheels still going round on a fairly harmless looking grass field which rather hid the terrible sticky clay which lurked beneath! The Panda 4x4 would have romped through it! [ame] [/ame]

Trailer has just seen a female trailer coming down the road with nothing on!

I've a splitting headache!

I thought that scams would be less likely on Amazon but it seems this is not the case. Ordered an Aduro 9 from a company apparently in Germany. So it was not ebay or Eastern European or Chinese. They also call themselves Klimaworld Had a phone call from a company called Merritt Robinson telling me that their account had been hacked. They seem to only sell glassware and do not deal in stoves Order was cancelled and money although authorised from Barclaycard has not been released by Amazon. Contacted Amazon to confirm and cancelled credit card. Hope this warning reaches you all in time

Bit breezy here in Lincolnshire but I cannot hear the name Doris without thinking of the Hale and Pace sketch on Yorkshire Airlines! The Air Doris's will give you a warm welcome "Wipe thy bloody feet, and if yer can't see the bloody signs yer must be bloody blind!" [ame] [/ame] Never seen the name Doris in the births column amongst all the Kylies and Amelias!

Not only for the chainsaw kickback but also for teeth flying off circular saws or a grinding wheel breaking up. There was a fatality locally when a piece of grinding wheel broke off and by bad luck flew in between the tiny gap between his helmet and his jacket and severed his jugular.

I just love it when you see an elderly man like that, putting on a great performance Fumbling with his microphone, you wonder what is going to happen next. I just watched a youtube clip of Pinetop Perkins aged 96 limp onto the stage and have great difficulty in taking his coat off. Then slowly approaching the piano with his walking stick Put it on at 3.10 as it is quite inspiring. [ame] [/ame]

No serious harm in breathing wood smoke | ScienceNordic

We used to supply dry seasoned wood to an old fella some years ago who insisted on sprinkling the load with water to make it last longer. We used to laugh about it but it seems he was light years ahead of his time! On the subject of harmful fumes, my parents and their parents and their parents all sat beside roaring open log fires for most of their long lives and not one died before they were 87, many well into their 90s. Has anyone known of a person dying from lung problems or lung cancer by using wood to fuel their fires?

Definitely Isis, better watch your back in that area! https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/92/fb/56/92fb564e26bd51cfe5f54ab6d144058d.jpg
