When immobilisers started coming out in the mid 90’s I worked at a place that used to fit vectra and cobra thatchem immobilisers and once they were fitted you weren’t taking that car, then manufacturers thought they could do it better but the problem is if you immobilise everything the same way people will soon work out a way around it, them ghost immobilisers are becoming popular now, I just think with the S3 being on PCP, if it get nicked they’ll give me another
-
My missus keeps the keys for the S3 in one of them faraday pouches, paranoid that when we are in bed someone is outside waving a signal grabber around
-
A different one but around the same time was when Ford brought the tibbe lock out, a lad I knew had a key cutter for them and you just pulled a boot lock out of a turbo or xr3 and he’d make you a key for it, save you wrenching them up, I remember when they started putting the chips in the tibbe keys and it took someone all of about an hour to work out how to bypass them coil immobilisers an the ignition barrel
-
I’m not sure about that, the old ones from the 80’s ( just the four track ) you could start with your fingers, I definitely had a L reg one without the keys, there was a lad I knew that was getting them to sell on and they were all new-ish in the mid nineties
-
Proper beef stroganoff tonight
-
Absolute rot boxes, but it was the motor we all wanted, while the lads were out nicking escort turbos and Astra gte’s these were mine and my mate motor of choice, no one had an independent that someone hadn’t tried to nick around here
-
I would of said none, because 14kg is around 30lbs and that would be a monster, I’ll have shot loads around the 14lbs mark and a handful around 20lbs, this was the biggest one I’ve shot, this was an old dog and although I didn’t weigh it I would of guessed it was somewhere between 23 and 25lbs, it’s rare to see anything over 20lbs around here but quite common down south and up in Scotland, I was reading somewhere a few weeks ago that a 38lb fox was shot in Aberdeenshire, that would of looked like a wolf
-
Nice, and all set for a Sunday afternoon pedicure looking at the picture, you live the life ( lol )
-
Pot roast beef today, an afternoon nap is what is required now before my Sunday evening mooch has anyone else noticed how much meat is going up in price, I bought, what would of been a 10 quid bit of beef 12 months ago now it was 16 quid, mrs Stav needs to start eating venison because that’s free
-
I’ve killed hundreds possibly over a thousand but I would 100% feed that, back in 2015 I had a vixen and 4 cubs living in my back garden at my old house, there was no dog or subservient vixen with her, so I’d feed them bits every day until the last one disappeared around September

Few hours graft at the shoot, fixing a few bits and moving some feeders a bit further from the pens
-
Butter baked cod with colcannon mash, asparagus and a cream and white wine sauce tonight
-
I’m going through another curry phase at the minute so tonight masala chicken peaked my interest, it was lovely and I’ll definitely be making it again
-
First part of the lord’s work completed today, hopefully this will secure me a bit of cloud space when I’m no longer for this world
-
Wedding anniversary today, so before work I took Mrs Stav for breakfast with the pensioners, I know how to treat the ladies
-
Coming on here is about the limit to my tech knowledge, I wouldn’t know where to start
-
Pork choppy things tonight with mash and kale
-
Path prepared at the church, concrete in tomorrow, it turns out it’s getting resined so a few more quid my way, my demolition job I was meant to start next week has been put back so god knows what I’m doing, I’ll have to have a ring around
-
Not sure what you’d call this but it was very nice, just what was in the fridge chicken, mushroom, garlic, a lot of thyme, chicken stock, tomato purée, crème fraiche, Dijon mustard
-
Road crossings done, all ducting and cables in and cold lay in, you better believe they are getting charged for a full day, I’ve just been asked to do a concrete path at a church so that will be my week finished off, if I can get concrete booked in for Friday
-
The small stuff is cheap to hire as well, theres a little company I use and I can have a mini digger for about £120 for the day and they drop it off and pick it back up, you don’t need to worry about anything going wrong or it getting robbed because it’s all on hire company, you need to be using them all the time if you own them so they pay for themselves, that little 1.8 that he’s got is only about 5 year old and he paid about 30k for it, the 8T is about 15 years old and he paid 65k when it was new but that is charged out for digger and driver £500 a day and the customer has to pay the transp
-
Gate posts in, ended having to hand dig one because we came across the electric main, nightmare, never go home until half 7, back tomorrow to put the ducting and cables in
-
The lad who I do 70% of my work with ( him in the hole ) owns the little 1.8 that we had with us today and an 8T, if we need dumpers or rollers we hire them
-
I’ve decided to go back to work today, electric gates at a school in Durham, something you don’t see every day, my mate in a hole with a spade in his hands
-
Saag chicken tonight, I left the chilli paste out and I think it was better for it, plenty of spice but without the heat
