  1. Reminds me of the one where the skeleton of a blind beggar is shown with his finger on the doorbell of the institute of the deaf.
  2. My pleasure., thanks for the piccy
  3. Both are ok just depends what you have got laying around
  4. Hi, same but different, I've got about 150 to thump in and my hand post driver gets b heavy after the first dozen, so was thinking about a post hole borer, sandy clay so ok to drill into. 100mm posts and at 1.8 metres a bit of a lift to get anything over the top. What do you think?
  5. One of the first full bores that I shot with, together with a P14/18. Then went to a No.4 Mk2 till I packed up and went small bore.
  6. Depth gauges to aggressive perhaps?
  7. I actually worked on a site where some guys were trying to bump start a vibroller. (Leather belt start)
  8. Southern sheeting profile sheets might do it. I've just done a couple of outbuildings, super stuff.
  9. I reckon those barge boards could do with a few more nails.
  10. What's the WiFi like with the router out of the cupboard? I think John Lewis is rebadged Plusnet isn't it. My BT wifi reaches all over the house and about 50' into the gardens as well.
  11. Well, I get about 70mbps with my current package and the one that I am looking at is150mbps, so faster for less money. The conversations on here show just what a mixed bag broadband is at the moment, the main worry is, if you swap what is the continuity of the service going to be like? I for one cannot afford to be without a broadband connection for long. My TV requirements are fully catered for via Freesat by the way, and various financial bodies require me to have a landline.
  12. Might stay with BT then, Full Fibre Halo 3+ @ £50.41 looks a possible, but not sure about next year's price rise of inflation plus 3%. My contract expires 1-11-22 so might wait a bit and see how things shape up. I have a mobile mast in my woodland (3) so my mobile contract is obviously with them, they are telling me that they will be able to provide broadband for me in the near future, so see what happens there.
  13. I researched Vodaphone and they seem a definite no no.
  14. I've got the same problem, currently paying £57 for FTTP broadband and landline phone (500mins per month). Been with them for about five years and no problems at all, but cost is getting a bit painful. Landline is now VOIP. Looking at the reviews of other suppliers makes me doubtful about swapping.
  15. Looks like it has suffered from an attack of the small chain saws.
  16. I think you should edit that to any luxury.
  17. Might be worth checking on any potential building line.
  18. Back to the gold standard then.
  19. Steve Bulman is about right, you have to sit out the crash (I did in the eighties) it usually pays off. I looked at crypto a few weeks back when it first fell and thought that I might have a small punt, however I have found it impossible to get Blockchain to verify my identity. So I suppose that I have dodged a bit of a bullet. When times get hard the only things that have value are a bucket of gold and a field to bury it in, or so I've been told.
  20. Well I've just cut and baled 25 acres of hay and about 100 molehills, I just hope the cattle like a bit of grit in their dinner.
  21. You may only have one there. Ounce and one eighth of lead usually disposes of them.
  22. Still got mine.
  23. Reminds me of the Smalley of the sixties. A guy on our site was using one to grub out some apple trees, pushing out the stump with the back of the bucket, the stump rolled back and pinned him there. I had to rescue him with the Drott.
  24. I'd say that was money well earned.
