  1. God no, I wanted one in the old days, along with a 3 litre Capri and Opel Manta like this.. I had a job on the mid eighties for a Vauxhall garage delivering cars like the Manta. Compared to the Astra and Cavalier SRI they were dated but still fun. I eventually got the sack of course, kept crashing them!
  2. Now that deserves a picture, in British Racing/Brooklands Green. Nice car, totally outclassed by a Golf GTI, not alone in that however.
  3. It doesn’t make a lick of sense, nor is it feasible to encourage children to run towards a shooter. They’re not ? I looked for it as well, couldn’t find a thing about it, don’t believe it’s true.
  4. Yeah, I know, too easy, but nice artwork nevertheless
  5. I left college in ‘95 and bought an Efco topper, absolutely useless, chocolate teapot standard. As soon as I could I bought an 020t, cracking saw. Taught me a valuable lesson, buy cheap buy twice. What was yours? Still got it?
  6. Next time God blesses you with some more, get a decent grinder:)
  7. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43164634 If a trained armed deputy did not confront the shooter for any reason how do you expect a geography teacher to suddenly become John McClane? Have you got a link to the “schoolchildren rushing an armed attacker” story?
  8. Of course! If you’ve pulled it off a wall however there may be plaster in it. Off a tree it’s fine.
  9. Long story Khriss. I’ll try and relate a story from my school days... I had committed some misdemeanor and as was the law at the time (1978 ish) to administer the cane the teacher had to phone my mother to ask if she objected to me receiving “6 of the best” So I stood there, fingers crossed, while he reached her and explained my transgression, my punishment and asked for her assent. There then followed a period of him saying “I see, uh huh, quite, yes Mrs Dempsey, I’ll be sure and relay that” He hung up the phone and my hopes soared, until he told me that my mum had instructed him to “give the little bastard 6 more from me!” Thanks Mum:)
  10. I took a real hiding from the chemistry teacher, punched me in the face and everything. Like you Mark, very much deserved.
  11. Two day job dismantling and felling some caterpillar infested maritime pines. Stacking ready for timber lorry.
  12. I also know little of cabstars though they seem to have their fans. I have had twin wheel tipper trannies since ‘98, been reliable, cheap to repair and pretty much overloaded most working days. Big fan.
  13. Many times, worst was 3 and a half days for 250 quid (was last century though) I was sobbing quietly after the second day.
  14. Very good work and excellent ladder!
  15. Ime the worst trees to reduce, nice job.
  16. https://www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/threads/can-you-have-two-companies-one-vat-registered-and-the-other-not-vat-registered.129537/ Found this after googling.
  17. No idea, as I said it was said on here. Might be right, might be wrong.
  18. This has been discussed before. It was stated that it’s not lawful to run two firms (one vat registered and one not) doing the same thing. Just what was said here, seems legit though.
