  1. I normally loop my tubes, but if you need pins and have access to a grinding wheel of any sort just cut a nail into suitable lengths and round off the cut ends,
  2. Rice and things is the shop you refer to I think it's by the traffic lights, and he's smoking jerk chicken on the pavement outside,it was on Jamie Oliver a few years ago, he is bristols no1 jamacan chef, I always struggle to drive past when the smokers going the smell is amazing especially if the lights are on red
  3. Have you ever met a foreigner mate or is it fear of the unknown that keeps you going, after all Scotland is the only part of the U.K. With a diminishing population and I don't see many dark faces on those beautiful pictures you put up of your area, not having a pop genuinely makes me curious, there are actually some ok people from other country,s they just are,nt as news worthy as the c**ts
  4. Curry goat rice and peas for me, but living in Bristol there is no shortage of interesting street foods about and I,m all about trying new things, had a lamb masala burger with halumi, salsa and Pomi granite seeds yesterday from a little Indian shop were they cook it all on an open grill in the supermarket, Chinese tend to use to much salt for me personally also love trying new recipe,s on the grill outside at this time of year, rather than the normal sausages,burgers and battery hen drumsticks
  5. Assume you mean the dory in the OP Not the fletcher above surely unless your the seller ?
  6. Nature suffers not feast nor famine, is a quote I,ve heard somewhere along the way and the older I get the more I see it and the more I realise we should leave nature alone and it will sort it's self out much better than we ever can the only mammal not in sync with the enviroment is us, yet we think we have all the answers to sort it out ??
  7. Are people mad, Crawford v horn is on this weekend feck Tyson fury, he,s fighting the bin man so he can knock him out in round one and do a 1000 tweets saying the mack is back, time is ticking and two years is a long lay off,when he gets back among the top boys I,ll have a look, but if I wanted to watch a one sided beating I,ll just go up the local and watch the pissheads kicking shit out of each other
  8. Just wind the stop in on the fuel pump so they can't Rev it so hard when testing or chuck a couple of gallons of bio fuel in the tank both will get it through
  9. Blanking the egr don't just burn cleaner it stops the engine killing itself, I take them straight off all my vans as soon as I get them never seen anything so ridiculous as pumping soot in though the air intake and even if the motor is,nt smokie it runs much better without one dpf are much the same I,ve just never had anything new enough to require one or I,d cut that off as well
  10. Fecked if I,d go beyond waist deep in that, maybe it's got a good trailer because the boat and engine are worth about a oner
  11. Just give them a blast with that white powder stuff for ants and they get coated in it and take it back to the nest and there done in a day or so but make sure the baby can't get near it
  12. £500 to fit a fish tank filter to your engine, really, it's the addition of all these run clean devices like dpf and egr valves that are f***ing up engines in the first place, fossil fuel is messy and dated, hydrogen is clean and efficient but we won't use it because we can make it our selves and cut out the tax man were as electric gives the impression of being clean but by the time you make and dispose of all the battery,s and generate the electric to run them all, it's as bad as fossil fuels but the government appears to be doing something while the tax man can carry on raping everyone',
  13. I think they have tried to stop it before but they still just turn up and do it,and long may it continue
  14. My son knows a lad that has won the cheese rolling on several occasions, he's basically smoked and sniffed off his box and ties a 5 gallon tub of water to his belt which he tows behind him all day when he gets to the top of the hill he takes it off and propels himself flat out down he won it twice in one year when they had to have a re run
  15. Get another one with a ferret in ?
  16. That was a deliberate de stabilisation of an entire continent we were handing out brochures on the benefits of living in Britain as we were removing the very men that kept order in the Middle East, IE sadam, graddafi followed by Assad and the Iranian government, thank feck Assad and vlad stopped the movement, does anyone ever ask questions like if you were a penniless refugee were do you buy a 1000 inflatable boats and 20,000 life jackets a week ?????? Even Mackem would struggle yet they did and still do, if you were a sceptical old fool you would think they were being given a hand by a wealt
  17. Wait till someone close dies in a family and leaves a pound or two, brings out the worst of everybody and shows that even close blood relatives have a large streak of selfish b*****d running through there body,s and will step on you if it suits there agenda, treat everyone equally, don't trust none of them, and hate them all the same,
  18. Not trying to diss your bird love mate I feel it to, but I think swifts go in nest box,s, to encourage swallows and house martins you need some mud cup type box,s under eves and gables like this, easy to make or £6-£7 to buy sorry for being pedantic hope I,m not telling granny how to suck eggs ?
  19. I,d agree now the head V can be seen as on the grass snake they seem to always be bright yellow regardless of how varied the body markings are, you can see how I almost grabbed the wrong one a few weeks back, thanks again for sharing your pics they are great and I hope I have,nt offended
  20. Absolutely love all your pictures they are fantastic, but may I suggest it may be a grass snake for the following reasons, A it was swimming which grass snakes do were as have never seen an adder swim or even be near water and B the yellow V on the back of its head is the only real way of telling them apart and yours appears to have one, like the one in the picture which I hasten to add I did not take, I looked quite closely at this subject recently when I tried to grab a large adder thinking it was a grass snake, even google gave pictures of the same snake claiming it was both, sorry to be a
  21. Phoned up Olympus uk after I posted this and have had an email back already apologising for my inconvenience with postage instructions to send them off to Nottingham for a free repair can't say any fairer than that really as I,ve had them 15 month and don't have a receipt, so if any one is after a decent pair of bino,s with good after sales service may I recommend these, not as cheap as pretending you have been mugged and preying on the heartstrings of decent folk, but you get to close both eyes when you sleep and can go out in public without worrying if the next person you meet is one of your
  22. Interesting robin fact coming up, when the dawn chorus starts up birds with rounder eyes begin singing first and as the robin has the roundest eyes it's the only bird to sing all night,
  23. I,d suggest by the shape of its eye it's a robin chick, did it have speckles on the chest area ?
  24. Not seeking any charity donations but a bit of advice would be good,been out for a walk earlier on today and my newish binoculars appear to have moisture inside, was wondering if this has been caused by being in a warm motor or if it's a sealing issue from new and will it clear itself? my main problem is though they are quite new they were a gift so I have,nt got the receipt, so my next query is has anyone had any dealings with Olympus and what is there after sales department like? Hope you can see it in the left eyepiece, thanks in advance ?
  25. FairPlay to you mate, forget how long it took, you done it and that's what's important, it takes me 31/2 hours to walk my dogs let alone get up a mountain, it's another tick on your life list ?
