  1. The only time I’ve encountered narrow boat life is some work I did years ago at Chichester marina. Took some trees out overhanging some over a canal. Interesting, but not for me. You’re experienced at it so it’s eyes wide open. Good luck.
  2. Watching Lineker, Alex Scott and Shearer going on was stomach churning. Anyway Qatar look woeful
  3. Every winter on one of our walks I marvel at the autumn fruit of this persimmon in the orchard of a neighbour. How I wish I’d planted one in my garden.
  4. We all would, but that’s not how it works, in any country.
  5. California is the largest sub national economy in the world.
  6. You’re a prepper KJ, Just in Devon rather than Texarkana!
  7. Yes, I’m aware of the ‘don’t ask the rich to pay their way or they’ll leave’ trope.
  8. Italian squad primed and ready for the World Cup.
  9. Obviously I won’t discuss in detail on here my personal tax strategy or finances. One tip I will pass on is don’t skimp on gear/vehicles you buy through the business. Get well known, well supported brands, top spec and take care of it so that when you sell it, either to yourself or for the business it’ll go for good money.
  10. Yeah I know. But seriously, sometimes people think that our society just occurs by happenstance and we should get access to it for no sacrifice on our part.
  11. Re. The whole no tax thing. When roaming armed gangs are invading your property because there’s no police. Foreign invaders march unopposed down your high street. Infrastructure, bridges, roads etc. Become unusable through lack of investment. See what use your little bits of paper with numbers are to you then.
  12. Expensive landscaping I guess. Looks like North Downs Haslemere area, very affluent.
  13. Yeah, that’s what he was talking about…
  14. We’ve had the best of it. By the time most of you are 50 you’ll be living in a dystopian hellhole eating insects and taking orders from Somali slave masters.
  15. You love it really! Make a change having it at this time of year, less of that sort of thing I reckon, too cold to booze bare chested in pub gardens.
  16. So, it begins. Personally I’m looking forward to it. Don’t give a monkey’s toss about the manufactured outrage of the lbgt/etc. community. Their country, their rules. Wouldn’t set foot there myself purely cos it looks like a dump. Nevertheless, should be a good tournament, run us up to Christmas nicely. England in with a good shout, should come out of the group easy enough.
  17. When I first started (95/96) I worked with a guy who used SRT, ascenders, base ties all that stuff. Can’t remember exactly how he said he started using it, mountain climbing perhaps. At the time I was just learning the job and didn’t want to distract myself with other stuff so I didn’t try it out or anything. Certainly got the job done though.
  18. ‘More arduous than it would have been due to a series of economic own goals’ What could he be referring to?
