    We’ll be all electric by then or living in nomadic tribes ruled by warlords fighting over whatever canned goods are still about (a bit like Croydon on a Saturday night) How old are your trucks?

    I’m too lazy Stu.

    Me on the mount of olives (I think) Jerusalem

    Lessons I learned. 1. Never give a months wages to a mate to change from Scheckels to dollars (to avoid hyperinflation) if ‘your mate’ happens to be a heroin addict. 2. Arak is bad, really bad. 3. Israeli women are beautiful, but they rarely shag goyim, especially idiot English boys. 4. It is punishingly hot.

    Cheer up you miserable wanker! The new Ranger (which I have ordered) has 220hp two litre Bi-turbo engine. So I will be inserting myself (I like to think of my vehicles as female) into a powerful beautiful black Bi! Could things get any better?

    If you want to keep your van for 10 years you can, it’s just that you’ll have to spend money on it at some point. Now in a world where 10k gets you a very decent second hand one and lots of cheap credit available, there is no incentive to keep throwing money at an old one.

    I have to disagree. Vans and pickups are getting better and better IMO.

    Dunno, but great story anyway. Well actually, can you persuade him to let you do it on a more modern bike? I was in Israel in 84, working on a moshav. Got a few stories but not as adventurous as you. Chapeau!

    Graphic images there! Good luck with the recovery, will you be expecting to do the same workload physically as before? Or will there be a change of attitude to some aspects of what you do?

    Cardboard. Not exactly sure what ‘on scale’ means, but I’m Friday night drinking now so all bets are off.

    Just like Cinderella teaches you to hate step-sisters, but you know what? Pornhub make you rethink these damaging stereotypes.

    Never understood the calendar thing, I always forget to turn the page after March, and you can watch videos of girls just as pretty performing whatever your heart (or other blood dependent organs) desires on your computer in a couple of clicks.

    Water filled cavities are no bad thing, the water stops fungal decay in the rot pocket. Or so I’m told, unless anyone can correct me on that?

    Fwiw (my opinion) you’ve done a nice job there, I think the intention, at least the spec you posted, was to hit it harder, but skillful work by any standards. Thanks for following up.

    I have a mahoosive maiden lime to reduce end of this month, dreading it if I’m honest. Worst thing about the one pictured is it looks like everything is coming out the side of the house.
  18. Mick Dempsey
    Right then Gareth, let’s be having it!
  19. Mick Dempsey
    No, sharpening chains is very worthwhile activity, I do it regularly as part of my job. You are a waste of time on here.
  20. Mick Dempsey
    Buy some chains, they’re cheap enough. You're a time waster.
  21. Mick Dempsey
    Just buy the little guide Stubby posted, piece of piss to use.
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Yep, no point mucking about. Last reduction was a waste of time and money.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Sorry to hear this, what sort was it?
  24. Mick Dempsey
    Yes, plenty of it here.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    Did the TR8 have the non turbo v1505 Kubota engine?
