  1. They'd nick the Semtex and use it to rob an armoured van.
  2. I know it sounds really strange, but how about they buy their own wallpaper using their wages. Then it wouldn't matter what it cost.
  3. Twice that I know of. It's probably double figures but until someone points it out (openspaceman is very helpful in that regard) I'll keep kidding myself it's only twice!
  4. @Chance might get their attention better.
  5. You taking the same rig as last year?
  6. I thought he must've fallen off for some reason, wouldn't have thought it that easy to lose someone on a rig for that length of time.
  7. Money or a status boost maybe. Anyway glad to see you're alive and well Andy, was worried for you this morning when I saw someone has disappeared off a rig!
  8. Nor do I Stubby.
  9. I see Boris Johnson is visiting Ukraine at the moment, like a kind of simulated state visit. Is this him positioning himself for another run at the PM job or does his ego need a boost (as apparently he's fairly popular over there)? Seemed a bit strange, not sure what to make of it.
  10. Socially distanced resuscitation, it's the covid age.
  11. Only the soft woods, the proper hard ones stay here and tough it out
  12. You are correct sir. Poor form today, that's twice I've been wrong!
  13. Found this BBC Horizon documentary for you, think I'll watch it too now!
  14. I read about him a while ago, Otzi the iceman, really interesting find. They could tell all sorts from his remains, physical health issues, diet etc. They believe he was murdered as he had an axehead lodged in him. I think even his DNA was traced to a modern day ancestor.
  15. I'm a little vague on the subject John but I think it's to do with starch being converted to sugars triggered by lower light levels, the concentrated sugar acts as an antifreeze. Prepared to be told I'm wrong by anyone that actually knows...
  16. Not idiocy Alex, inquisitive!
  17. When I worked at a garage we drained the compressor every night when finished work. It's a habit I continue now with the small compressor in the workshop, when I turn it off the drain valve is opened.
  18. Bet it's a Jolly Roger!
  19. It's madness isn't it. The other week here it rained heavy all day then temp dropped when the sun set, went out about 5pm and it was bad with black ice, I was 20-30mph on an A road and could feel the truck skittish but they were up close and overtaking like normal. Said to the OH it'll be carnage and when we returned 2hrs later there was 1 up a banking, 2 down another banking and 1 wedged backwards on the barrier within a 3 mile stretch. Police and ambulances were busy that night.
  20. You're very welcome lovely Issie! Thanks Ted.
  21. I wondered if they missed a 0 too. Or maybe they think they've hit the firewood motherlode but haven't identified it's HC.
  22. Great. And thank you for giving us the word rampoozle to perfectly describe Santi on the trail of a hare! PM me your details and I'll send them.
  23. Not quite as big as I imagined but sounds fantastic. When you say she'll start scent training in April, do you intend giving Kira a bit of "work" to do?
  24. I get the feeling Kira is going to do just fine with her new brothers! Great video, thanks.
  25. What a beauty Rich! Looks a confident wee pup. Edit. Never heard of Jamthund, just checked, Giant Dog. Gonna need a bigger cage!
