  1. As my mate said when admiring my log stacks - "I'm not erect but I've definitely got a semi well on the way"
  2. Acorn 5210A is what I've been using for the last few years, for the money it's very useful. I have it set so that it takes a piccy and a 45 sec video. The cyclists that kept trashing my fences so they could ride through the woods soon stopped when I countered their denials with video of them doing it! I wanted to find out who was leaving trash in a gateway, discovered my to my amusement that the gateway appears to be a local illicit shagging hotspot.
  3. First thing that comes to my mind is that it's probably just your wife's boyfriend checking out to see if you were home - Audi drivers are all wife shagging scum!
  4. I use a four ton one quite often, good for making sure a tree falls exactly where you want it by getting the wipwap to crank on, as I do the back cut. Good for pulling out trees that are hung up from a distance when on difficult ground. Rest of the time I use my loverly little 1 ton capstan winch for dragging stuff about.
  5. No eye candy but I do have some eye bleach Eye Bleach
  6. lol "Garlicky Nutsack" sounds like a new flavour for a range of potato snacks! Just for interest, it's been speculated that Lymes disease is an escaped bio warfare agent. Ground zero for Lymes was Lyme, Connecticut which is right next door to Plum Island.... Did Lyme disease originate out of Plum Island? - National infectious disease | Examiner.com Nazi's and Yanks should carry a health warning!
  7. I used to twist them but I find a straight sharp pull more effective, sometimes twisting will leave the head behind from my experiments. If the head gets left behind just put on some antiseptic, it's not really a problem. The main thing is to grip the neck very tightly so there's no chance of the ticks stomach contents getting into you. I have a mate who got lymes whilst horse riding in the USA in the early 80's, unable to walk since as the doctors were very slow to work out what was up. The medical system is much more turned on nowadays, especially in tick areas. Touch is the best way of finding ticks on your body, the missus calls them wibblers as they wibble wobble on the skins surface to the touch. Don't assume they will only be on exposed areas as they do travel, I saw what I thought was a flea on my arm but when looking closer, saw it was a tick moving up my arm - have found one on my nutsack before! In the gardens around the house, two hours before dusk we release the dinosaurs (hens really but they are supposed to be the closest living relatives to dinosaurs) and they do a most excellent job at clearing ticks, ticks tend to hang on the ends of grasses etc waiting for something to go by and the girls get them first. If you want a tip on making yourself less attractive to ticks, eat garlic capsules, same with mozzies. Most peoples diets have loads of sugar in them which makes the sweat very attractive to ticks, mozzies, sandflies etc, the garlic helps mask the sweetness.
  8. Get a good pair of fine nosed tweezers - grab the ticks neck close to the skin and pull straight away from the skin. The tick feeding is no problem, it's when they finish and upchuck before detaching or from not removing cleanly that you get infected. I live in the woods and this is several times a day on me, the missus, dog cat etc
  9. Hob Brite (orange container) on a non stick pan scourer cleans glass effortlessly
  10. Voted once about 40 years ago when I was wet behind the ears - haven't since. All governments do, is make laws which make you less and less free and slowly the staightjacket tightens. George got it right [ame] [/ame]
  11. I wanted the username "The Obese Idolatry" but it never got approved. It's the anagram of "I hate bloody trees"
  12. Pussies. Cloth cap and a manly squint is where its at! Also, it deprives large corporations of more profit and allows you to have more pints of heavy down at the Stoat and Septic. What would Fred Dibnah do?
  13. Takes me one night solo but you have to provide: AC/DC @ 11 on the dial Aphetamines and Jack Daniels Some bitch with a Henry to suck up the crap .......oh wait a minute, that was thirty years ago, look like you are stuck with a big bill, sorry.
  14. Always the same excuse for being ten minutes late... "had to wait for my massive erection to go down before I could pull my jeans on"
