  8. yebbut he made all that guitar noise without so much as hardly touching any strings or strumming it or picking it or any of that boring muso stuff. He just made the guitar make that noise just by holding it. The man is not of this earth.
  9. For the Balsam the best way really is by pullage. Wait until the plants are well grown but pull before the seeds are set ie the plant will be in full flower. For such a large plant the roots are very small - and flesh like - and almost only just tucked into the top of the ground - not deep at all - and they lift with a very gentle tug. Waiting till the plants are larger also means less bending so easier on the back. Since they are an annual and don't regenerate from vegetative sections they can be left to rot in piles where you have pulled them. This also means that if any have gone to seed then the seeds are all in one spot and you will have a tight area to control next year. Some seeds will lie dormant for two years or so, and you will miss some small plants, so you will need to repeat next year and in the future, but a big bash in the first year breaks the back of the job - future years is just mopping up You could strim but it really is easier to pull. You could cut through the base of the plant with a machette or similar but 1) it really is easier to pull and 2) if you cut above the first node you will get resproutage from that node. When pulling some may break - the stems are very fragile, just hollow tubes - these will also regrow from the nodes. I think that's all. Get out and have some fun; it's a very satisfying job and if there really is loads to do, have people round and do a barby. Happy Days Yourn
  10. Not really my field of expertise but would it need to be deep? Would it need to be just deep enough to reach the cambium and if so would 9mm be enough? Defo ask what was used though; tell him we're all dying to know:001_smile: Happy Days Yourn
  11. You know in Fistful of Dollars the bit when the Stranger walks down the street saying, 'the heart Ramon, you gotta shoot the heart' and Ramon shoots the Stranger, supposedly in the heart, with his huge gert fbo rifle, but the Stranger just gets up again, brushes off the dust, puts his hat back on and carries on? 'The heart. Ramon...' And you know in the bit before that when the Stranger is in the abandoned mine making a piece of metal into a piece of armour to hide under his poncho? Well that was demanded to be put in for dramatic purposes by the Hollywood Bignobs; in the original - and indeed also in the rarely seen directors cut - the Stranger just casually picks a couple of holly leaves from a tree and slips them into his shirt breast pocket as he makes his way into town for the showdown. True story!
  12. Go easy on 'em. They wouldn't be working there if they didn't have to. They shut down the fishing and the ship-yards and closed the steelworks and the coal-mines and all the the associated jobs that went with all of those and opened up a call centre in stead. While you're out in the fresh air each and every day they're stuck in hell. S'not they're fault; Thatcher's legacy. Be kind; that's all. Happy days Yourn
  13. No chance! You know in Alien when the monster blood went through 7 decks of reinforced steel like it was molten lead and they were made of polystyrene? But didn't actually manage to breach the hull of the Nostromo? That was because it just happened to drip onto a single holly leaf that just hap't to be there. You get the picture?
  14. A while back, when this came up once before, I asked what the issue was with using top-handled saws on the ground - me being 'an interested outsider' - cos I had thought well they sound jolly handy. Someone kindly replied saying about the temptation to reach forward - to cut and hold - and having your arm pulled into the bar. I felt a twinge in my arm - just there - when I read it and feel that same twinge whenever top-handled saws being used on the ground is mentioned. I can currently feel a dull ache in my left fore-arm. I'm weird! Happy Days Yourn.
  15. For the easy commute on the train you want to be on the main line to avoid the change at guildford. as you say north to woking gets expensive. south you got witly - small village, nice not too expensive; milford, same; haslemere gets expensive but further south liphook small town, and petersfield medium town both nice and not expensive at all and easy within yer half hour. Ignore ^^ about aldershot, it's fine. Lots of small towns and villages on that line but it goes into guildford so you got a one stop change - blimey forgot farncombe! farncombe as per witly and milford above - a two stop change to get to godalming. Godalming itself has got plenty of residential and, lets face it plenty of people live in guildford - bus ride to the station - so it can't be that expensive. best of luck. HTH Yourn.
  16. Move house. It's the only way to be sure.
  17. Fishing Clubs or other fisheries - for topping swims off.
  18. Fishing Book Peter Stone, Come Fishing With Me, £4 in local s/h bookshop. ETA Smiley with thumbs up but they gone. Bastards!
