  1. The problem is the fitted wardrobe is not allowing enough air to circulate. Insulated board may solve it but there is no guarantee, treat it with a good quality anti-mould paint
  2. You do know you're going to regret it don't you? It's a fundamental law of the universe that stuff thrown will within a matter of weeks be the very thing you need.
  3. He doesn't help himself does he? I take the meaning of Ian's post above to be 'I deliberately set grass seed in peoples gutters so I can screw some more money out of them in the Autumn'
  4. Being totally ruthless really pays dividends Lizzie. I attacked my garage some time ago and got rid of.. ooo nearly a full half carrier bag of stuff and now I can almost get all the way to the consumer unit...
  5. I'm not worried about knife crime, I'm assured the government is going appoint a supremo who will soon have it all sorted once they agree how big the salary will be and whether they get an OBE or a knighthood
  6. So do humans but they won't let us shoot 'em.. We carry disease, spread germs, kill and roast young birds, take and boil their eggs and yes even attacking babies and toddlers has been in the news recently.
  7. I always thought they were quite good looking, very stylish.
  8. That we are surrounded by cruelty is sadly very true but are any those cruelties necessary? I think not. Young J Sparrow of this parish raises some good points in support of balance, we are wrecking the place with ever increasing speed. but I think your last point may be a bit of a stretch. There are responsible clubs I've no doubt but suspect most clubs do not actually have their own water to be guardians of. Is it cruel to keep cats and dogs? I can't see that it is, depending on your definition of cruel. Useless yes, pointless yes but cruel? I think not. Cats have remained t
  9. I don't want to get into a quarrel but enjoy arguing different points of view PP. We eat meat because it's in our nature, those of us who have any teeth left that is. We are top of the food chain and hunter gatherers have for millennia killed for food. But for fun? for enjoyment? I have as a youngster fished on the Trent, outside the power station was famous for Gudgeon and I spent many hours on the Clifton side of Beeston weir and caught mainly colds. I did catch a fish, can't remember what it was, and the hook went in it's mouth and the barb came out from just under it's eye -
  10. I dunno what I want to be when I grow up so I'll just muddle along for the time being...
  11. And all to kill, maim and generally torture a creature the does no harm or has any value to the angler...
  12. You obviously never worked in the docks or the car industry in the days of Red Robbo and his ilk.
  13. Do we know Rizzoli damaged it, how did they, was it deliberate?
  14. Col, you're probably brushing the wrong end!
  15. Dad had a grapevine in a greenhouse at Clifton. I think the damn thing was on steroids. It was totally neglected and produced more grapes than you can shake a stick at.
  16. Happy returns of the day (I wonder what that actually means) Margie and many of them...
  17. The downside is due to my age it's likely to be a year before they are finished.
  18. A bargain that wasn't. I like Lion bars, preferred the Nux but you can't get them now. I only have about two or three a year so when I saw four for a pound in the basket they went. Put them in the fridge and promptly forgot them. Came across them Monday and though 'great' took one and bit into it. It was solid, like a stick of rock solid and three front teeth shattered, well two crowns and a tooth really. Had the dentist estimate today, never realised you could that many zeros on one line before - sheesh implants are expensive.
  19. Forget my earlier post.... The registration appeared (and still is apparently) on a Ford Coupe 3.9 V8 1948 so the car in the picture must predate that. All BMW are shown here so don't think it's a BM.. http://bimmerin.net/modelshistory.php Looking at the grill the nearest I can think of is a Ford model Y but the lower lights look wrong. The Crossley car had a vaguely similar grill, so did Alfas and Fiat but I can't find a good match.
  20. Mk1 Ford Consul convertible. £40 squire can't sat fairer than that can I? genuine white leather upholstery that is, the door? oh that's an easy fix anyone can do it............ Never did get the door fixed but it was easy to scoop me mam up and lift her over the side with the hood down and how cool was it to step into a car rather than open doors?
  21. You have a couple of tractors why not hire/buy a small baler you can tow. Plenty of used ones for sale that look to be in good condition
  22. Ford Deluxe coupe 3.9 V8..... Simply type ATO851 in google search
  23. Here you go Margie, at great expense and risk to life and limb I give you:- A little maiden climbed an old man's knee, Begged for a story, "Do, Uncle, please." Why are you single; Why live alone? Have you no babies, have you no home?" "I had a sweetheart, years, years ago: Where she is now, pet, you soon will know. List to the story, I'll tell it all. I believed her faithless, after the Ball." After the ball is over After the break of dawn After the dancer's leaving After the stars are gone Many a heart is aching If you could read them all Many the hopes that have vanished After
  24. I knew Vic Pownall very well. He told me he owned the Clinton Rooms and the next door property back in the 70's. His family was huge and his half brothers (Micheal?) ran McIntyres scrap in Dunkirk. I'm not sure if it was his father or grandfather that had a barn conversion near Holme Peirrepont. Quite a big place, two story garage and a showmans caravan in the garden that he took great delight in telling me it was home to a single budgerigar.
  25. Your'e just trying to bait us Waddo but be careful you don't spin us a line and make a rod for your own back!
