It astonishes me the size of modern tractors. :o I have seen Ford 5000 at vintage machinery shows, hell it ages me!!!!

I seem to have spent most of my free time on a Ford 5000 from aged 14 to 22, i remember driving a Ford 7000 with p/a steering and 'wandering' all over the road. Did a vertical 'jack-knife' when the back doors of a silage trailer failed to open. Kept staring at the sticker:- "In the event of an overturn......"

OMG, this takes me back to:- 1984 when i would be rolling the pit 1985 when i was using a jack box/ rear spikes to load the pit 1986-1988 on the trailers just the smell of it before and after, reminds me of long holidays as a teenager Ford 5000 every time :o

Oooopss 15 grammes not 15oz :o

Rule No.1 at Fort Burscough NEVER let a tradesman on the premises :o

Door seal off Front off Unclip front of drum, and remove Removed bra wire Re-assemble Phew!!! Quite a long job, but done it.

Hi, I think that one of the girlfriends wires from her bra :o has got stuck in the drum (it is unaccounted for!). I can't see it but there is one hell of a rattle when it spins. Advice please, can the drum be taken apart??? Oh, yes......... tell her not to wear them!!!! :o

get someone to write in weld your post code out of sight on chassis inconvienient but remove wheels/wheel clamp strong chain/padlock the important thing is to slow them down fake cctv etc

I worked for one summer on 4x4 tankers that emptied septic tanks. The boss gave me a card to show them at A&E if i ever went in with symptoms Telling them that i was enaged in activity that was likely to connected with rats

Everyone should grow Even just a few herbs Several large pots of runner beans climbing up canes will be enough for the whole summer You can't beat picking tom toms from a grow bag in the height of the summer

The basil can go in a pot The climbing french beans can go in a large pot and grow up canes

Having a HAPPY day so had a homemade guiness with breakfast. Never had a hangover in my life. The secret, don't over do it!!!!!!

Pickled herring rolled around a gherkin/olive/onion etc Held together with cocktail sticks

Used to like Fried Egg spotting on the beach in Greece Especially those Italian ladies

Runner beans, seedlings & seeds in the ground Mangetout, seedlings & seeds in the ground Peas, seeds in the ground Spinach Beet have sprouted Radish have sprouted & formed Parsnips have sprouted Carrots sprouted Onions from sets growing Beetroot sprouted Lettuce seedlings in the ground Tomatoes still on the window ledge What are you growing?? It's like the Good Life here, and the g/f is Felicity Kendall

Hmmm... I am thinking of doing a shotgun stock myself. How will you do the final shaping? B&D Powerfile??

Not thinking of distilling your own liquor at all

Mmmm, a bit like anything that is bought new. Buy it new and pay top price but have security of warranty Buy it secondhand and pay a lower price but 'Caveat Emptor' (Buyer beware) (If you you know the item, then you have knowledge of its condition)

Have added 100ml of RIDDLES Ginger Compound (got mine from Leyland home brew) it has made it more gingery, the fermentation is still going on...... can't wait!!

Yup, have made my own last autumn (thats Fall to you!!)

I am of the age when i remember Ginger Spice Had a quick taste, not gingery enough. Might try and get some soda stream ginger beer concentrate and add a bit before bottling.

Hi What different types of wood are suitable for a shotgun stock? I know walnut is one, but what others can be used. Cheers

To quote John 'Lofty' Wiseman:- "Were you at the embassy?" "No, but I know 1000 men who claim they were!" John was SSM at Hereford in charge of the training wing for years.

I had an ex-army one that was on a Q-plate, years ago. Though other ex-army ones i have had have the year that they were released as their reg number.

A bit topical this one... The last Conservative government had a rolling 25 yr old tax free program for old cars. Labour stoppped it in 1998, hence only cars before 1973 are tax free. Will the new government bring it back?:blink:??
