  1. FIX!!!!! Oh hang on, I voted for him didn't I?
  2. I am at heart an old draughtsman and I can't help it, I pay attention to tiny details.
  3. I see that Sir dresses to the left.
  4. Just noticed this in my pictures folder.
  5. Has someone left the kettle on down in the valley?
  6. What does this mean? reforesting” drill indexes depleted by years of child users
  7. The Lines of Torres Vedras are quite famous, wouldn't fancy climbing up that with people taking pot shots at me. In fact even without them taking pot shots I'd think twice. If you watch 'Sharpe' on tv you can see a combined army of up to 20 men fighting the French there in one episode. There were over 30 men fighting in the Battle of Waterloo episode. I think they were limited on budgets for that series.
  8. What's in the cardboard boxes? Bike polish or dunking biscuits?
  9. Yes, hard to explain why I like it best, the mound behind and the more all round view of the distant landscape makes it look better to me than the other three similar ones.
  10. They had a news item on it a few years ago and the reporter was stood in a vast candle lit space. He said that if you stood quietly (obviously there is no breeze) you could hear the rhubarb growing, a sort of creaking noise.
  11. I hit my ickle Muntjac deer at 75mph, it hit my crash bar with its head I think. All I saw was a flash of fur in my headlight on the unlit 60mph road. If I had been obeying the speed limit I would have hit him full on and fallen off. Went back next day and took a picture, because I thought I had dreamt it until I saw the fur stuck down my greasy swing arm and the pain in my leg.
  12. Oh mannnnn, can I vote now?
  13. This is exactly how I feel, never get myself into situations where I have to prove that I can't swim at all. When I walk along a canal at work, I keep as far away from the edge as possible, if anyone is going in it's gonna be a cyclist or a jogger. Not that they are deep but you could get stuck in the mud or cut yourself on a shopping trolley.
  14. Ahh yes, full of them, not forgetting the jam butty mines. Google the 'Rhubarb Triangle'.
  15. A month from now you'll see a washing line outside the XTreme hacienda with teabags drying out in the winter sun for re-use
  16. I'm in with a shout there, I'm growing my own.
  17. Could this be the answer to Pete's moist nads problem?
  18. I was just trying to get closer to the castley area, the graveyard bounds one side.
  19. Bit of a walk today to look at an old Motte and Bailey. That was totally hidden by trees and I couldn't get very close to it, so no pictures of that. The stream is the River Roding. I could hear some bloke huffing and puffing whilst thatching a roof but couldn't see him. Took the picture of the Beetle because I had one the same once. The straw fox caught me by surprise. Just liked the sunlight on some but not all of the grave stones. Is this God's way of telling you who was good and who was naughty during life? I'm colour blind but could see the Sloes a way off. Liked the stocks on the village sign.
  20. When I get that it is for this reason. There is a water pump somewhere and it connects to a t-shaped pipe with an electrical box attached to it switching the water from just heating radiators, or just hot water, or both. The valve gets a bit clagged up with limescale so can't turn easily or the electric switch breaks and you end up with the valve stuck in one of the above positions or halfway between. I usually get radiators on when they are not supposed to be. I sometimes take the electric servo off (2 crosshead screws) and turn the pipe valve back and forth a few times with a spanner or pliers to keep it moving freely. The most likely time for the problem is at the end of summer because it hasn't moved to the radiator position for many months.
  21. Some bright spark will get that on EBAY. For Sale, Boeing Glider, will need big towing vehicle to get initially airborne, one careful owner.
  22. I like the green one with the small fairing but the other one made me gag with horror.
  23. I went into London today to visit 2 sites. Roads are the same as usual. My contractor thought the lockdown started tomorrow and I have seen quite a few people on line thinking the same thing. That's the problem with using midnight as a start time, you should use 1or 2am, it makes more sense to people.
  24. Thursday morning (00.01 as you said).
  25. I thought I had got them all, which is why I wondered if they were on Pete's old site. Every time I try to look at the site, there are so many pop ups. adverts and things flashing about I get the hump and give in.
