    Kept falling out, too small, but thanks anyway.
  2. David Cropper
    Thank you, that's very kind of you. I haven't gotten over the last "Instructional" video you sent..
  3. David Cropper
    Thank Christ you only showed the tube! I had visions of you posting a demonstration video of how to apply it. That would have ruined my weekend!

    Years ago I ordered a stump grinding guard from them. My address was then, 9, Rue Marcel Chapon 16700 Taize Aizie I spelt out the address and got the bloke on the phone to repeat it, appreciating that foreign addresses are difficult.. However, I received a call from the courier asking me where exactly I was. The package had ended up in Marseille, confusing Marcel for Marseille, 700 kms away. He had obviously allowed predictive spelling take over. To be fair the guard arrived next day.

    Where's the monkey come into it? You living in a zoo Mr Johnson?

    If it was yellow in colour it's probably false acacia, it's horrible if it's not fresh cut. I've had it smoking when the grinder teeth loose their edge. It blunts teeth quickly. Smells a bit of something dead.

    Try being married to one.

    You're quite obviously a gentleman, Mr Johnson, asking first..

    Apparently there was an "earthquake" of 5 on the Richter scale this morning here. Lots on FB went on about it, didn't feel anything, but friends 15 kms reported feeling some tremors. Bleeding Brexit!

    The wife seems to have forgotten her Jockenese geography!

    Is that Ben Lomond?

    Subscribed. Good luck mate.

    It seems to be a one way street. Criticise the left at your peril and you're shown the door. Imagine the stink if Bernard Manning or Jim Davidson were given free rein on mainstream tv, not my cup of tea these days, but I can remember both of them having folk rolling in the isles in the 60s and 70s, myself included. Times change, often for the better. In this case, I actually quite like Jo Brand, not a big fan of female comics effing and jeffing, but I realise it seems not to be a big deal these days. Acid throwing is too sensitive, in my opinion, to joke about in these violent times, there are some very strange people out there who believe what they hear in the media is tantamount to having an excuse to act on it. My brain is hurting now after this. I must lie down before Nursey comes in.

    Eggs, if she'd have come out with a racist, homophobic, anti feminist joke, the media and the left would have been over her like a rash.Double standards again. I wonder if Katie Piper found it a rib tickler?

    You were lucky you cancelled your trip at the last minute, Stubby.

    They're called Terrasaur. Pretty good, I used one for small roots in stoney ground. When one side is blunt, all you do is reverse the disc.
  17. David Cropper
    Bugger you lot, I like it.
  18. David Cropper
    Certainly seems to be a good bloke. Bring him back.

    I for one would love to see Jon return. First time I read one of his postings, I was completely lost. After getting used to his style, I enjoyed his views. Seems to not have a nasty bone in his body, something sadly lacking on Arbtalk recently.

    I seem to be out of step with everybody whose commented on here. I think he's dropped a bollock by putting an ill thought out image out there. I found it horrible to rip the crap out of a new born. Before the mob start calling me a snowflake, or sensitive flower, I assure you I ain't . Beyond the pail for me I'm afraid.

    Ex matelots usually sit in a quay side pub sporting an unkempt beard that nesting birds live in, saying wise words like lubber, avast and other gems. They especially like the well worn phrase " pass the cabin boy to me." They often have a knackered old fishing net on their knees that they pretend to mend to impress the tourists. Vast amounts of free ale and rum are consumed by the said net mender, all the while talking in the manner of Robert Newton playing role of Long John Silver. Very impressive to witness. I am now progressing to Champagne, so will be spouting more crap. I apologise in advance .

    And he was a sodding matelot. I am now preparing to repel boarders.

    It never seems to amaze me that "locals", half probably moved from London, living in tourist hotspots, moan like buggery about visitors spending money in their idyllic area. I lived in Dorset for 31 years, the same there, moan, moan bleeding moan. They'd soon moan if the money dried up. I've been out on the piss so don't care if I get abuse. I thank you in advance.

    I don't think you should publicise the fact, Steve.

    You're looking good in that photo, Mick. Not sure if pink really suits you though.
