  3. Do any of the main manufacturers use solid wood these days? I will be having a kitchen installed in a few months but I don't like chipboard.
  4. We have a one legged Robin called Bobbin who rules our garden. He talks to my missus every morning when she feeds him but is a total savage when other Robins appear, he tolerates spuggies, blue tits etc most of the time.
  5. I love watching the chat show with the Bishop of Southwark & Malcolm Muggeridge slating The Life Of Brian as a fourth rate film that'll be forgotten soon! Hah, that worked then! One of the best films ever made, it still makes me laugh & I'm delighted to say my 12 year old daughter loves it too, she even makes her friends watch it when the come round. Terry Jones, your legacy is leaving millions of people laughing 'till it hurts, the World is a poorer place without you.
  6. Another vote for Simon Freese, top job at decent rates.
  7. Buy something you actually want then forget what it's worth & enjoy it for what it is.
  8. Just wondering what, if anything, those who feed their dogs raw food mix with it i.e. vegetables, biscuits? Our 3 Springers seem happy on raw and when we have kitchen left over veg they have that too but I would like something I can give them on a regular basis. Does anyone have any experience they could share? Thanks all.
  9. I know one who's an absolute gent, he doesn't associate with other travellers and always lives on his own or with his sons.

  11. I want as much of my useless carcass to be used for transplants especially my skin for anyone unfortunate enough to need skin grafts (they hurt a lot) What's left can be burned & the ashes scattered round the tree where my dogs are resting. No funeral & deffo no religious ********, my Mrs has been told to spend the cash on a huge ****up in the pub.
  12. Remember the Ugandan Navy?
  13. This ^ If you don't have any relatives that were there, see if there was anyone local to you with a special story, do some research then go and find the places they were in action. It can otherwise look like a big expanse of fields/woods and a bit meaningless.
  14. Just be careful who's watching. A 'keeper local to me used to help Police with injured deer on the road but now won't as there's often a do-gooder screaming about taking them to a vet. This is another reason to be cautious http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1515201/Two-years-and-50000-later-ordeal-of-policeman-who-put-dying-cat-out-of-its-misery-is-finally-over.html
  15. This place is a good source of knowledge http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php If you haven't booked somewhere to stay this place is run by an ex REME chap called Dave Platt whose knowledge of the Somme is 2nd to none. http://www.beaumonthamelview.com/ Dave does guided tours & will research your relative if you give him the basic info.
  16. Have sent you an email ref the pups.
  17. I'm interested to know what make/model & where you can buy a new helmet with ACU gold sticker for £20 inc P&P? Please enlighten us.
  18. Unless you've driven one before I would suggest paying a bit more for a driver, I didn't (how difficult could it be after all) and in all the fun of it forgot to measure how deep I was digging. I now have a shed base with about 2 feet of hardcore and a concrete slab that would support a small house
  19. "You'll hurt yourself" when I bought my FS1E aged 16. She was proved right!
  20. Sorry but we must read different history books.
  21. I think it's you who needs to research some WW1 history, as for "holding back the Germans" they were coming close to collapse and insisted on a major offensive from the British to relieve the pressure. That offensive was the Somme where 60,000 British & Commonwealth soldiers became casualties on the first day of whom just under 20,000 were killed. There were 750,000 Commonwealth soldiers involved in that battle on day 1, I doubt that they would have been "overrun in days" but granted if the French has collapsed the Western Front would have been a very different place.
