    I meant to put these up a while ago but never got round to it.

     

    We took the pup you bred that my mate got for his lad, out for a couple of hours with his old uncle nobhead a while back. Hes a big lump and seems to have stopped growing at about 26". Turning out really well and sharpening up nicely.

  12. House Renovation

    in General Talk

    Posted

     

    I started a business with my brother and parents a few years back, looking to do up houses and sell them on. We did a couple up together and then ran out of steam, turns out we dont get along that well!..

     

    We still all do our own projects separately, but for me, doing it solo was the way forward!

    Me and my old man get on great I will muck in on anything I plastered boarded that house with him and he's useless my brothers up his own arse and only helped with the eletrics and ordered the kitchen and bathroom I'd probably do it with my old man but never my brother

     

    We all get on ok enough for the most part under normal circumstances but it was always a 2nd job for us all and stopping off at a house to do a few hours a night graft when you've already done 10+ hours at the day job was always going to be stressful. Also, having the wives involved and getting on each others nerves added another dynamic. I would be able to work with my brother under most circumstances though. We also all wanted different stuff out of it as a business as well

    I dont get a massive amount of free time these days but when I do, through the summer its mostly to do with the fishing either with the kayaks or the boat

    Other than that the garden takes some keeping on top of this time of year. So, although i wouldnt consider it a hobby, it burns a lot of time up!

  15. Best Estate Cars Out There

    in General Talk

    Posted

    Ive got a ford focus estate 2.0 diesel. Cant fault it, I always have ran old cars, as I do high mileage and am too tight to loose money I dont need to! I paid 2.5k for it with 75K on the clock, have put about 60K on the clock, its rare that it drops below 50mpg, will happily cruise at faster motorway speeds and work on it seems reasonable, it also has plenty of boot space. Once its done a few more miles I'll swap it for the same again.

  16. Did You Have A Saturday Job ?

    in General Talk

    Posted

    washing up mostly, in several different places, mostly pubs. But other stuff as well including waiting on, building, decorating, cleaning. Even spent a few weeks on the back of the train at lightwater valley with a flag and a whistle, shouting at kids when they jumped off when the train wasnt stationary lol

     

    Im not sure if kitchens etc are allowed to employ kids in their early teens anymore? so it may not be as simple as kids dont want to work these days. stand to be corrected mind

  21. Pistol For Humane Dispatch Etc Etc ?

    If you want to go down the co2 pistol route vin I have one you can have. 177 with little cylinder magazines that hold ten pellets. There is a seal that's bust in it that needs replacing (I was told £50) to have it done. It's a nice bit of kit but I forget the make. Worth a lot more than the cost to have it done like

     

     

    Cheers Dom

     

    Next time your down my way ... Let me know and I'll get the kettle on .

     

    Ps

     

    How's them ferrets doing ?

    Ok mate will do, I may be having a meeting down near donny shortly so will try and loop round.

     

    They're doing great, little belters, although not seen as much action as I'd have liked!

    No, I done quite a few, just buy a new bag of nuts and bolts and your sorted.

    spot on ,only downside with them ! nuts and bolts cheap enough though ,BARGAIN FOR SOMEONE HERE
    I imagine it will be pretty easy to take down but have not had a good look at what it would need. I know the glass is held in with wire clips as I was looking at replacing some of the panes I'd accidently driven the mower through.

    Still available

    Ha, hate to see you mowing the grass, one of them panes missing is 2 foot off the floor lol

     

    They are simple to do, wire clips hold the glass in place, and nuts and bolts for the frame, simples, to erect, get some new clips and a bag of nuts and bolts, hey presto.

    If it don't go on here, stick it on evil bay as buyer dismantles, I made good money on the last two I did that with mate, and now is the time the allotment weekenders are thinking about such things

    Haha I think the higher broken pane was a football. It's the lower ones I didn't get to the break in time
