Woodlover

I have 2 at either end of the money/name scale, cannot fault either for value and warmth and would recommend both...1 is a small well known British make that does the job and after 12 years still has very little maintenance (Hunter Hawk4). Then I have this 14KW beast from China for £380 that gives out immense heat for little fuel, been running for 3 years fault free...Glass does blacken quick tho unlike the Hunter.

Whale Oil Beef hooked ...said my Irish mate.

That's me .

Cheers Steve...I was woodlover, so anything like that that is ok ...woodlover1 ,2 or whatever please.

Hmmm ...is that me...sorry to do it again but this site would not let me log in so requested a new password, email address recognised but never a new password came...so had to log in with a friggin face book account and in my pathetic immature state of frustration wrote the stupid name...If the boss can change it or allow me to then im happy.

I will see all you bar stewards next Tuesday .

Thanks Mark, I am trying to get the family to agree a camping trip that way one day this summer if the weather is like last year, so you never know I might be in touch.

What ever She was or did, She had balls in my opinion, something lacking in the world of UK politics today and something that any leader needs.

They have been doing that for many years ,well...with the plastic most tins are sprayed with to stop them rusting, and its turning us all gay apparently. Testosterone levels and sperm counts have never been so low. Just look at the world around you and it does appear to be true.

Thanks Steve...Sorry for the late response but I never got a notification for the post and have just seen it when looking through the woodworking thread...It would of made an impressive Fairy House but at £70 I doubt I would of had it...maybe £40 for that size if someone has similar and is within a reasonable distance of BB9 post code. At the moment I still need wood with holes in and also soft wood logs and rings if anyone is working in the area and wants to make a delivery to Nelson Lancashire. Will take any rings as long as bark is still on.

For years I thought the planet was doomed because of human activity but in recent years I have seen some tech that i think might actually save us from completely screwing the planet. We have electric cars that do now work and will become the norm...and with the likes of Teslas home battery thingy the future of self power generation looks easier than ever. I am sure the cost of Teslas home battery thing will come down and competition will lower the prices so it becomes the norm..it will be the future that a home generates all the power needed for the home,car ect. Then we have all the new tech in solar panels and solar paint ect It is getting cheaper and better. Also Graphene will one day soon change the world for the better once they figure out how to mass produce it. The war on plastic is finally making some progress , it is being addressed more than ever before. The burning of waste, fossil fuels ect is getting cleaner and cheaper to clean. I think we are now finally on the right road and other developing nations will clean up there acts as the tech will get cheaper and more efficient for all in the near future. In my 40 years I have never seen a time like now where the future looks cleaner.

What happens when you come across a gas pipe that someone else must of damaged once upon a time as on this pipe you uncovered doing your work there is a join that dose not look professional, so you called it in. How can they charge you? would they forensically examine the join so as to blame someone or will they just fix it and put it down to unknown work/people ?

Not had issues with google but face book has freaked me out with there tech. I have a fb page but its not my real last name and it contains no pictures of me or anything about my personal life, have no family as friends on it, don't use it as was set up for a business that did not take off. My partner posts pictures of me and her all the time on her fb and in those pictures if you put the curser over my face it suggests tagging my mum in as if fb recognises my pic as my mums...wtf is that about? FB has the tech to recognise family members from pics alone? How can fb know I am linked to my mum is not right and is above the tech already out there for face recognition tech?

By the time the 6th is lit you will be running to the 1st to reload with wood, by the time you get to the 6th you will be back to the first to re-load , what with stairs and carrying wood you will be hot enough without a fire...sounds like hard work and no time to enjoy until the last loads are in.You need a house keeper , butler type to run 6...or a wife from times gone by.

Merry Christmas to all...and to the police, fire-brigade and united utilities engineers who are hopefully trying to get our water back on...At least 200 houses around my house have had no water since 11am, of all days. Already on the beer as the kettles empty, even got peace and quiet for half hour whilst the misses and sprog are shopping for water...Brandy next.

I found this.... Gorger ( with a variant of Gadjo pronounced Gajjo) means non-gypsy in the Romani language. It seems to be from Gazar (Gujjar) who migrated from central Asia into the Sub-continent and were known for their ferocity. Over a period of time they settled, started agriculture and livestock.

I have a had similar symptoms and was referred to a ENT clinic (Ear nose and throat), they stuck a camera up my nose and it turns out I had an infection up my nose...only way to get rid was spraying anti-biotics up my nose 3 times a day for 3 months, pills wont work...or its a simple op I think.

I think the powers that be may have allowed or are still allowing this to go on in order to introduce stricter laws around drone ownership.This will certainly work.

This is the best of Kevin Bloody Wilson IMO...not Christmas related (I apologise to thread creator ) but funny as and a must share if folk are liking the guy.

Im sorry, had to be done...Merry Christmas.

For any one wondering WTF...do yourself a favour and put "codwood" in the search box, funniest thread ever.

HMRC told me a 7 years ago that I had to take the 20% of any one that I employed to work on the houses I was doing up.I only did up old houses it was not a construction site. My carpet fitter from that day on only wrote "to supply" on his invoices and not to supply and fit , this ment not paying his 20% on his labour as I was just paying for a product. Otherwise he did not want the work. My Plumber said no way he pays his own tax...So he up`d his prices 20%, and still he was cheaper than anyone else so I carried on using him. It is a system that any one man business could do with out, it cost me profit paying more to my plumber and the hassle having to pay other peoples tax was a ball ache doing it once a month, one time I forgot to pay on time and had to drive to there office in Liverpool from Nelson in order to not get fined £100 , I think it cost me close to £100 in diesel and lost wages but I would rather that 100 went any where other than HMRC. When dealing with HMRC it reminded me of the movie Goodfellas, I told them I was too busy to pay the Tax monthly...They said fuck you, pay me. I said my business is doubling its turnover every year and I cannot manage there demands at the moment without help...They said...Fuck you, pay me. I said I was ill and could not currently do the paperwork as I was struggling to do anything...Fuck you,pay me. I loved being in business and could handle quotes and invoices but my paperwork skills else where were shite and what HMRC demanded of me gave me more stress than any other part of my whole business. When I knew it was the end of my business as I was too ill to run it I just ignored HMRC for the sake of my health , £9000ish is what the £100 and then £200 fines totalled by the time Companys house struck it off. And what if a company that took your tax went bust before they paid it to HMRC? do you then have to pay it again?

There is a thing up on top of screen in the horizontal line of words in big letters "ARBTRADER" nothing to do with star wars and wood like I thought, its wood and stuff for sale...maybe there is the place you seek?

Im a bit with the promoting a company view when in one post you have always burnt seasoned logs...in another post you have only had the burner at back end of last winter, we had a good summer so I don't understand the "always" bit about burning seasonedish stuff when you say later its all a new thing?
