  1. That will be him in the shades, a tad older than me. Suffolk Free Press.....I was delivering that on a Thursday 45 years ago
  2. I leave the processor on the tractor, an international 684, all the time as it is no good for anything else. Cover with a tarp and when weather gets really bad, fold it up put away in shed.
  3. Not allowed a licence, he eyesight was bad even with glasses, morocco mole! Brilliant mechanic though. You would see him riding his tricycle around the roads and wonder how he never had an accident.......caused thousands:biggrin: old jasper carrot joke! Richard Finch....is he still alive in hadleigh, Suffolk, who know's
  4. Brings back memories of towing my mate and his towable digger around Suffolk in the early/mid eighties to a job and then tow him home again. He had started a plant hire business and could not drive.
  5. That's what I told the missus today, be warned. Compact, that is how I describe it:thumbup1:
  6. At least he had the forsight to build a winch into it
  7. Godin make some really nice cast iron stoves, had one years ago, spares readily available. Mate always preferred stovax. Steel I presume.
  8. Is it free delivery, we use garden wildlife direct, their free, but it can take up to a week and half from order. Checked your prices, not far out on peanuts, do you not do the hearts in 20kg
  9. We have to fill ours every other day. The only bird we have not seen for a couple of months are the spotted woodpeckers. Red squirrels still hammering the peanuts and occasionally sunflower hearts. We even had a couple of baby ones coming onto the feeders a couple of months back, so must be a second brood.
  10. Thought it was next weekend until len mentioned it on strictly cd last night, googled it just to check. Bye the way, isn't anita rhani doing well on there
  11. Another one of the old greats gone. Great actress, great films, just great!
  12. No jon, release endorphins Not release dolphins, tut:lol:
  13. So if Scotland wins then, we won't be seeing him Monday. Just as well the calving has finished
  14. I get really envious of people who have what I call guitar fingers
  15. Used to have lessons with my sunday school teacher on a Monday evening and bought the bert weedon set of lessons with my paper round money, and a friend of my dads gave me his daughters f hole acoustic. Had that for years until I could buy a s/h electric when I started work. Can't do bar chords as I have too short a fingers.
  16. Our headstockman went to Cardiff today and going onto there for tomorrow.
  17. Not being a sports fan at all, we have aholiday let this week, so we have lent them our 50" for the weekends rugby, rather than them having to look at a 24" one.
  18. Same here, had a ac30 and proper telecaster, all had to go to pay mortgage when things got lean, only kept the 12 string acoustic and kept playing stuff from the eagles. Now arthritis in my fingers put paid to it. Been playing on and off since I was 14.
  19. Something to make you smile The missus and me were going out for lunch with a couple of friends yesterday, in 2 cars as they were off elsewhere afterwards, pulled up behind them outside the PO, she walked to our car so wound down the window, leaning in, and yes I got a good view of the puppies, she said do you want to go the back way or the scenic way? Whilst she was walking back to her car I said to the missus, well, it is nice for an old man to get a choice:thumbup: Trust your dirty mind, she says
  20. They don't recycle in this part of D&G:thumbdown: Probably got 3 fires to clean out and relay each day for a week now as we have a holiday let as from yesterday
  21. Got a grenadier, been in the cupboard since the missus bought it 4/5 years ago, forgot all about it
  22. Am I right in thinking or have seen somewhere that you can get a fan gizmo thing to fit on top of the chimney pot. Or am I dreaming. Talking of firelighters/newspapers, the owner/my boss gave me a right slagging off spending petty cash on firelighters and newspapers to light the fires in the big house. Apparently only women use firelighters. And newspapers you can scrounge from other tenants.
  23. Like everyone else says, it is not your technique in lighting. We had the same problem when we had an open fire, you would be sitting there and suddenly get a down blast of smoke to fill the room, still an occasional problem now the woodburner is fitted, even though I fitted an elephant foot onto the new chimney pot. The old caretaker who had lived here 20 years said he had same problem, and I have noticed the open fires in the big house get downdraughts and their chimneys are moosive, so more of a wind problem I think.
  24. He seems a nice enough bloke, but I wouldn't want in the cab with me.
