  1. One morning a few weeks back I noticed a nice car parked outside my house that looked suspicious somehow, cant think what made me automatically think it was dodgy but I googled the number plate and searched it on face book, nothing came up so left it at that....That evening my partner saw on Facebook a post with a picture of the same car within a post from someone saying we were burgled last night and this car was nicked. Immediately we informed them of where the car was ,only to check and see it now gone. If only the people who got burgled posted the number plate in there post instead of just a picture they would have had there car back. I just googled your reg and only Arbtalk came up, on FB nothing...Maybe too late now but maybe worth trying FB with a post title including the number plate?
  2. Good luck with the op....I have had ACDF (and researched the subject for some months) if you need any advise or anything PM me, you never know I might have had the same experiences.I found it can be difficult to get answers to simple questions when waiting for an op as GP`s and nurses leave anything to the surgeon ,who is often too busy to give info and you are left wondering this or that.
  3. Its an ugly side of the future , if its not trackers its gonna be drones one day or worse. I can just see it now for security at night to health and safety during the day , the drone will become essential for all sites and will see everything ...and of course be viewable at any time by the boss.
  4. 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.
  5. Whale Oil Beef hooked ...said my Irish mate.
  6. Cheers Steve...I was woodlover, so anything like that that is ok ...woodlover1 ,2 or whatever please.
  7. 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.
  8. I will see all you bar stewards next Tuesday .
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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 ?

  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. Im sorry, had to be done...Merry Christmas.
  24. For any one wondering WTF...do yourself a favour and put "codwood" in the search box, funniest thread ever.
