  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"
  15. I just wear my "I Love Iran and Syria" T shirt - the NSA and GCHQ watch me constantly for free, with a much better accuaracy than civilain stuff and HiDef video as a bonus if it's not cloudy.
  16. Since 2002, EU legislation uses the term "manly" as a euphemism for backdoor uphill gardener
  17. It's all the wrong way round, demand is the problem but no one makes profits by selling less. "Wind farms, while necessary, are a classic example of what environmentalists call an "end-of-the-pipe solution". Instead of tackling the problem - our massive demand for energy - at source, they provide less damaging means of accommodating it. Or part of it. Wind farms by replacing energy generation from power stations burning fossil fuel, will reduce carbon dioxide emission by 178,000 tonnes a year. This is impressive, until you discover that a single jumbo jet, flying from London to Miami and back every day, releases the climate-change equivalent of 520,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. One daily connection between Britain and Florida costs three giant wind farms. Alternative technology permits us to imagine that we can build our way out of trouble. By responding to one form of overdevelopment with another, we can, we believe, continue to expand our total energy demands without destroying the planetary systems required to sustain human life. This might, for a while, be true. But it would soon require the use of the entire land surface of the UK. The government envisages a rise in British aircraft passengers from 180 million to 476 million over the next 25 years. That means a contribution to global warming that is equivalent to the carbon savings of 1,094 giant wind farms. In other words, there is no sustainable way of meeting current projections for energy demand. The only strategy in any way compatible with environmentalism is one led by a vast reduction in total use. What is acceptable to the market, and therefore to the government, is an enhanced set of opportunities for capital, in the form of new kinds of energy generation. What is not acceptable is a reduced set of opportunities for capital, in the form of massively curtailed total energy production. It is not their fault, but however clearly the green groups articulate their priorities, what the government hears is "more wind farms", rather than "fewer flights". Economists have still not learnt to subtract." I love all this stuff and as I've said earlier, it's too late too change. There is just too much vested interest, money, apathy, inertia that this thing is gonna carry on until it implodes on itself. As far as I am aware, the only tech that returns slightly more energy over its lifetime than is used in its implementation is solar pv, wind is a huge neagtive Energy Returned On Energy Invested (EROEI), nuclear is just a massive joke.
  18. All true but most people can't handle the fact that they are not "special" (like their social worker told them) "Man cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen." Montaigne
  19. Got it in the woodburner right now, love it. You need to get the fire going good first, then chuck in the sweet chestnut for a medium hot medium long burn. I normally mix in a bit of doug fir to keep the fire looking bright. I think I will be having roast cat for supper as it's been hogging the hearth all dam night!
  20. It's too late too change anything now - it's all unreformable. As long as bankers can invent money out of thin air, which governments can use to completely destroy all markets and feck up everything. Full speed ahead I say, pedal to the metal, trash, drill regulate, tax away coz this mother is going down and there ain't no stopping it, so lets just get it over with and back to some common sense as soon as possible.
  21. "A wise man is never busy - a busy man is never wise"
  22. My monies on them being taken by a lonely, ugly person, just out looking for some girlfriends. Probably find them back in the field soon, tired and smelling of cheap fags and cologne.
  23. Lol - still my favourite gun. Grandfather gave me one when I was ten to learn to shoot with, full choke, one shot, teaches you to aim and lead properly. Mates with 5 shots would fire four before bothering to aim and never became good shots. Prefer crossbows nowadys - better on zombies!
