  1. Not doing too well at the moment. The Austrian policeman I met at the border doesn't like Brits, he especially doesn't like them trying to break the land speed record down his motorway. Then a Hungarian policeman joined in the fun saying I need a 'Vignette dokument fur deine auto.' Why a Hungarian at the Austrian border is speaking to an Englishman in German I have no idea. Perhaps I should fall back on ye olde Englishman abroad custom and shout... And I thought the EU meant no borders, apparently someone forgot to tell the Austrians...

  4. That makes five of us will be there to tell RR where he's going wrong and how it should be done! Grass cutting by committee, what can possibly go wrong?
  5. Trogg you have my admiration for keeping on keeping on as you do. One point though. you are almost bionic now so next time round ask them to fit you with a throttle so you can keep up! Simples
  6. I've been attacked and bitten twice by Alsations, one of them really, really, regretted it... Glad the little one wasn't traumatised too much... can we see the bruises Lizzie?
  7. Well it won't me it wus alright when I left it so there...

  11. Good grief Ben - do you drink it or paint the fence with it? … Hope the results come back OK..
  12. They used to use a lot of crushed limestone down mines to help prevent coal dust explosions turning into a fire, it acts as a flame retardant. They used to be a product called 'petro coke' . I don't know about now but back then they used coke as filters in refineries. The waste product was coke with a high petrol residue that was supposed to be mixed with standard coke, supposedly to make it easier to light' Smarty pants here didn't mix it, just used it as it was.

  13. Those boards were called 'greedy boards'. My drivers used to pinch a barrow full of coke for home then spray the load with water to make up the weight. Dozy boggers thought I didn't know... They soon found out when they saw their wages docked if they took it too far.
  14. Not sure you have the terminology or configuration right BK but it's interesting stuff... Suffice to say if you went over the weighbridge at 26 tons it's not surprising you broke three springs!
  15. Nah, there'd be a bunch of 'em
  16. Not only was the doctor female so was the student with her AND the two assistants... They try distraction techniques by talking about anything and everything........... it doesn't work..
  17. Why is it when we get older it's all the embarrassing bits that need close examination? Why can't it be elbows or ears or all the innocuous bits?
  18. I had never heard of them so looked them up on Youtube.... ouch!!
  19. Some of the piercings I saw make me think they must have a very poor self image and self loathing. One lady in Scotland has destroyed her face she has so many, what she must look like when she takes them out to sleep is be beyond imagination.
