  1. I bloody hate heights. My brother on the other hand thinks nothing of it. We climbed up to Preikestolen and he walked right up to the edge and leaned over and took some pics. Its 3000 foot right down to the fjord. He then sat down and took some pics and wanted a few of him. He then said it was my turn. I had to shuffle on my arse from about 3 meters away and it took all my strength to swing my legs over this leaning ledge. Kjeragbolten was another arse clencher for me. I got out onto the rock and near died inside. I asked the missus to look at the pictures and had her finger over the lenses the whole time.
  2. With a shorter stroke there's more revolutions. Perhaps thats why my step count is so high?
  3. Im the registered keeper if that helps?
  4. Right now my daily is my daughters Corsa. Does that mean Im back to having an averages sized one?
  5. Me neither, I was just trying to lighten the mood. I can imagine using powered equipment will vastly increase the perceived 'hand movements' due to the vibration levels. Regardless of what actual calories I burn Im fortunate enough I can eat like a horse and drink like a fish and at 44 years old still maintain the physique I had at 18. If fact I still wear a lot of clothes I bought in my early 20's.
  6. I like big American Pick-ups so my dick is automaticly smaller than everyone else's.
  7. kidding.....kinda
  8. Thats what I actually eat a day. But add a bottle of wine and 8 beers.
  9. Thats a regular work day for me out in the yard, so seems legit. I have a fitbit and 5000 calories a day is not unusual.
  10. If you've already got the logs clogged up then perhaps consider paying someone £10 an hour to run a log splitter for a few days. You'll soon turn £30 a cube into £150 a cube. If its already clogged up then a grafter will managed a good 5-10 cubes a day bagged. Easy money for you.
  11. Good to know. I throughly that might be the case. Thanks again.
  12. Cheers, I’ll look into that,
  13. Ive a Makita EA4300 and Im looking to get a Rotatech Bar and Chain but they dont list them for the EA4300 but they do for the DCS4300, does anyone know if the Bar is compatible for both models? If not anyone know which models are compatible? Cheers.
  14. I sell them cut up through the Branch Logger for £50 a cube.
  15. First correct decision Bidens made in his time.
  16. Find something funny @topchippyles?
  17. I second Tegid, he's in Wales as well. Ive had nothing but first class service off of him.
  18. Ive been over to Houston a few times with work. (Oil) I love it there. Very friendly and patriotic people. Im thinking of flying over this October with the family, tour around a little, see the Alamo then drive down to Galveston and catch a Cruise ship to the Caribbean.
  19. Fixed that for ya. )
  20. Its a Global business yes, but it does not have to be done this way. Norway (as per usual) having very strong unions have laws in place that block what they call 'social dumping'. Meaning that Firms cant hire in cheap foreign labour at the expense of the local population. If specialized skills are not demonstratively available in the Norwegian market they can hire out-with Norway, this is closely monitored by the Unions who's bite is as strong as their bark is loud. When hiring a foreigner they must be paid a Norwegian Wage that is on the Matrix levels of pay according to their skill level. This making hiring someone that does not speak Norwegian not an attractive prospect.
  21. There is that, but the infrastructure in the UK Sector is crumbling due to lack of investment and there is no incentive to invest when the Politicians keep pandering to the Left and threaten to shut them down.
  22. Cash in the bank for me then. We've just won a 5 year contract (with optional 4 year extension) with Var Energy. Although the link says its a Drilling Contract its not really the case as Var will have their own chosen Drilling Firm and Halliburton provides the Directional Drilling, Measuring While Drilling (MWD) Fluids (Mud) Cementing, CleanWell, Lower and Upper Completions and Perforation. Basically just Red Coveralls on the Rigs The way Norway refuses to pander to the Left will keep me in work til I retire. Halliburton to enter drilling services deal with Var Energi WWW.REUTERS.COM U.S. oilfield services provider Halliburton said on Thursday it would enter into a long-term agreement with Norwegian oil and gas company Var Energi for drilling services.
  23. Ive no intention of twisting your arm nor am I wishing to engage you in conversation. Im simply calling you out. End of.
  24. I agree. If I had spare cash, which I dont Id be hoarding physical metal and maybe 1/3rd in BC. I personally think investing in property today is a no-brainer, or it will be soon when many start to default. The demand for property heavily outstrips demand and will only get worse.
