  1. I've had a 56 plate xtrail for about 5 years now . It's done almost 173,000 , and still drives well. I keep thinking that it has to give up soon , but it just keeps on going. In all honesty , it's probably the best all rounder that I've ever owned.
  2. Don't mock my size issues . I can manage two inches on a warm day
  3. I'm not a bummer . I never push it more than half way in , so that doesn't count
  4. I can't really eat fried food these days , so I'll have to go with the cocaine fuelled sex instead
  5. I bet that really hit the spot

    I have to agree. A person like that will never be of any use to the human race.
  7. I might get gold panning in my own stream .
  8. The neighbour at our woodland in Wales found a tiny gold nugget , she looked at the small stream on her land , and could see it glinting in the sun. No real value , but a brilliant thing to find.

    I'm starting to think that you're not a believer
  10. Most fence paints are rubbish , they're just for decoration, but I was quite impressed with the ronseal shades stuff . Once it's dry , you can't repaint it for years , because it's some kind of plastic product , and nothing will stick to it . Water just runs off it like a freshly waxed car. It wouldn't be any use for posts etc that go underground though.
  11. You can still get proper creosote, and it's fantastic stuff, but you do need to be very careful with it. You can buy a product called creocote. It looks and smells like real creosote, but it doesn't have the nasty chemicals in it , and doesn't really preserve wood. One or two of the other wood treatments are OK ish , but not much is as good as creosote. My Mrs workshop is painted with ronseal shades . It's a sort of plastic coating, that lasts about five years or so, and looks much more attractive than creosote.
  12. The smell is very strong for the first couple of weeks, then it starts to fade , but , you'll always get a whiff of it , even after years , and especially on warm days.
  13. I've just dropped you a pm deker.
  14. Chicken wings are my death row last meal. Top marks
  15. I have to agree. Once you get past the shoutey nutcase stuff , the content( on a basic human level) , is absolutely spot on.
  16. Yes but I bet you had half a pound of truffles in that omelette instead of mushrooms .
  17. I suppose that a lot of people will visit , just for experience. The problem for the restaurant owner , is that once you've had that experience, you probably won't go back.
  18. I like the look of that grub mack . My stepson said that hfw insists that his front of house staff , never tell the kitchen staff when he arrives and eats at his restaurant, so that he gets the same quality of food as the customers. My stepson must be a decent chef , because he can even make vegan food taste amazing .
  19. To be honest , even if I were wildly rich , I don't think that I could bring myself to pay those prices mack . I think that the feeling of being ripped off , would taint the taste of the food for me. I'm all for someone making a decent profit and a good living , but those prices just scream rip off. My stepson worked as a chef at Hugh fearnly wittingstalls restaurant in Bristol, and he's always said that it's the best quality food of any restaurant( and hes worked in some very posh places) that he's ever worked in , and that the prices were sensible.
  20. Is that Jimmy sommervilles dad ?.
  21. I truly hope that you're right francie. Our government have well and truly shafted us with brexit .
  22. This. They'll do as our government did with brexit.
