Ive just filled up my van with 65 litres derv plus 40 litres of unnleaded for the machines in jerrys and a further jerry can of Derv about to fill my spare van up also. Panic buying maybee but as im selfemployed, no fuel equals no work.

What amazes me is that none of the oficers drew their batons, faced with a dog coming at me id use whatever I had to hand to try and maintain a distance and fend it off. I cant criticize them for trying to get away, they were probably trying to phone for backup.

You could try Zinser bin, buy a small tin to do a test as its fairly expensive

It becomes de active within 24 hours on soil contact so in theory you could turn in the soil and plant the next day. However since roundup works systemically it takes around 2 weeks to actually kill the weeds so turning over the ground before this time would just be pointless considering the cost of the chemical.

The farmer would have at the very least probably suspected ill treatment and at worst turned a blind eye to it. All the farms I worked at had a bolt gun for casualty dispatch, this way always kept in the farmhouse gun safe and we would have to ask for it to be opened. If the staff were not using a bolt then how did the guy think animals were being dispatched? there would have been some form of record of casualty animals. I feel soory for his family but not for the man.

Great to see someone who doesn't let anything get in the way of what they enjoy and takes life as it comes. Its such a shame that others let farr smaller problems rule them rather than conquering them.

I'm not a BT engineer, however the answer to both is yes, have had this exact repair done when a careless grab Lory working for next door decided to rip down our line.

What a waste, never the less one of her own making.

I use an old elwell 10lb felling axe, it hold a brilliant edge and is excellent on almost all logs the few logs that are unn splittable I half saw then split with a wedge. I got mine from a house clearance but they often appear in boot sales etc, you can find them on ebay but they go for £70 upwards

Am I the only one who opts out of preference to always reverse? I drive a work van most of the time but thats not a reason why I want to scrape it dragging it along a hedge because some nasty little twerp has no spacial awareness in their nissan micra. I find it farr quicker for me to back up than for some numpty to turn there head over their shoulder and start to try and back up with a full steering lock on going from side to side before either hitting the hedge and puling forward before trying again adnauseum then finally positioning themselves with 5' between them and the side of the passing place and a gap with inch clearance between mirrors. I once met an old boy and reversed the best part of a mile back up the road (up hill), after he showed he was utterly incapable of going back 10' luckily I can use my mirrors so can back up at speed so the whole escapade only took 5 mins or so. On passing me the guy wound down his window and said nice driving..... I said, not really its called being able to actually drive!!!

Mercedes Sprinter for Work and an ML for non work driveing.

A stihl 026, ms260 or the latest model ms261 is what you want, a reliable saw that will pull an 18" bar ok and cut nicely with a shorter bar. Another model worth a look would be a stihl ms390 although this is not as well made as the 261 being a semi pro machine so has rather more plastic about it.

The clothing of both the suspects and the deceased were kept in the same room whilst the blood dried and then stored in deteriorating selotape closed bags...... how can the forensics be compelling.

I would have found them not guilty on the basis of the evidence brought to the caught. The racist ranting does not make them the killers and the forensic evidence was IMO unnsound.

These days Im self employed mainly involved with grounds maintance and proprety maintance all very mundane work but its money and I seem to do ok from it.

I have a similar engine, albeit bigger on a pressure washer in the workshop. ill have a look in the morning for you as the wireing from memory is an almost identical arangment.

I don't buy your argument here, those joining the army know what they are signing up for, just the same as someone taking on a HGV drivers job. If you don't like the conditions or pay don't sign up....... oh and try being self employed and working out the unpaid hours you work lol ( im not moaning becuse I choose to be self employed)!!!

Hot, sweaty, smelly and heavy...... in short dated.

I think you did the right thing. About 10 years ago I saw something very similar occur in an opticians i worked in, I did nothing at the time as I was worried it would cause problems with my bosses. I wish i had done something to this day.

I always give the Postman a tip along with the garadge if any of my vehicles are in around christmass. Both go out of thier way to help out.

Recently swapped from a three year old Tom tom to a garmin. The garmin is ok but struggles to find addresses. It will always find them via postcode but not via typing in. Personally I prefer the tomtom and will be giving my garmin away and going back as the tom tom is easier.

I think we can all draw our own conclusion having seen the video. To my mind he got off on the judges interpretation of the law, not for the over the top violence the video proves he committed. If the lady in question was our wife, girlfriend or daughter would we be so quick to stand up for the officer or I wonder or would we be horrified?

Have you got a proper gas torch? Being involved in maintenance both of the following are always in my van and get used weekly if not daily, both really well made. A rothenberger Superfire- fire 2 and map gas would be a good sudgestion. If you have one then for bigger tasks a Bullfinch auto torch on a 6kg propane bottle. If you want a really brilliant old tool then trawl ebay or the net for a Elwell axe, I have one date stamped 1918 think the head is about 14 lb. Trust me, no maul or other axe that I have ever used hold an edge and splits wood like the elwell.

Ill admit that on the motorway at times i occasionally might just exceed three figures, and possibly get near on certain dual caridgeways..... both usually late at night with sensible distance between non existent cars and but both in situations were there is good visibility and space to react to hazards. For me though 30 mile limits equate to a high risk of either people or dawdling drivers and generally within the limit there is insufficient visibility to react to hazards at proper speeds. As such I wouldn't creep above 40 and aim to keep to 30. I think perhaps a change of driving is in order unless you honestly think that you can react quick enough on a typical 30mph road to me 30mph limits are there for a reason, other limits a hindrance.

A new fuel filter and fresh fuel would be my first port of call. was the fuel mix you used fresh? did the tank have any old fuel in?
