There we go! No I was mistaken with the cartoon thinking they were jace and the wheeled warriors.

The wee kinetic motors still work and have such a unique sound!

I would sell as it is if it’s got 3 months left. Buyers will be able to see you’re not a dodgy wheeler dealer, especially if you invite them to your home to view it. Might get a little less than if it had 12 months, but not enough to make the potential time hassle and cost worthwhile.

The good news is that with road work traffic lights they factor in a ton of extra time after red because they don’t trust the minimum wage lad to programme it correctly so you can hitch yourself on the back of a line

Half the time. The other half when I’ve scraped through before red it’s green at the other side!

I know, come on already!!! I was thinking of jace and the wheeled warriors but I see now they’re not that

I love the tank/robot/big cat one!

Yes it really is the fine detail that amazes me… at the time I took it for granted, and I’m sad that my kids are highly unlikely to have access to toys like this any more.

So that’s what the big flat things are for! Yes, he was very topply.

Most of these have date stamp 1987 on them. I forgot to put superions head on but it is here.

Ps I LOVE the heat stickers!

These were also in the box but I can’t remember what they are called. I do remember watching the cartoons. Anyone?

I reckon if you want to sell toys like this you should do it now while the 80’s kids are currently in their 30s and 40s earning good money and willing to pay for nostalgia items. Another 10-20 years we’ll be possibly earning less and those in their 30s won’t even know what the toys are let alone want to buy them!

I’m not after selling these anyway. It’s impossible to explain the way it feels to see and play with them again, little snapshot back to childhood and it’s amazing!

I think so silog. Can’t wait to play with them properly tonight

I know sillysilly, I think all the bits are there too!

Jim, £10k… nah. I’ll do the ceiling for £500 or so. We already use it all year with very little hassle so it’s really just taking the extremes of temp away a bit.

Bear UK that stuff would be £400. I can get rigid board for £100 on gumtree so I think that’s the winner. I can see the foil roll being easier to fit though

How do you feel about the 25mm insulation eskay? Reckon it’s enough? I’ve seen some cheap on gumtree

This is one of those non-stories that made me groan, and ties in well with the “are you proud to be British” thread. No… things like this are why I worry for the future of this country and just hope the UK that my kids grow up in finds some common sense and manages to silence the irrationally and perpetually (but not really) offended.

In that case I’d want a stiff knife 5 inches or so in a sheath and a sharp point.

And keep it sharp.

If your car is big enough, you could do 2 hours 2 nights a week plus 4 hours at the weekend cutting grass and make £10k net a year.

What is the knife actually for?

I’m in the middle of trying this myself as our neighbour’s house is very similar but a Band F, and we are band G. The assessor came around and among her information she had our house size as 199m2 and the neighbour at 149m2. I asked her measuring criteria, did the measurements myself the next day and came up with 175 for ours and 173 for the neighbour! She thinks our house is near the border. band G orginally covered houses valued something like £102k – 206k, and when I look at houses across the road that sold for twice what ours sold and on the same band as us it’s a bit annoying. I’m going to pursue it all the way though.

Our tax is £3000 a year! The lower band would be £2600.

My wife recently had a battle with the council after their nursery school calculations had us paying £30/month that we weren’t supposed to pay. She won. We could be paying more than that in excess council tax, and for a life long house it’s worth the effort (£35/month over 40 years…).

Scottish assessor’s have a rule where you are supposed to apply for a change within 6 months of buying a place.

Hah. I didn’t even see Tomhoward’s post!

I can assure you, they’re both Tuna. I like both, there’s no need to be pompous about it.

POSTED 15 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

You had best double check which forum you’re on…

I don’t officially recognise this tinned flaky “tuna” stuff.

A fresh steak, still opaque and firm, rubbed with salt and papper and some olive oil, done over a hot griddle so the surface charrs and the middle stays raw. That’s tuna.

The blade won’t be the issue.

Lucky, but not proud. The scary rise of the voice of PC in this country is worrying and embarrassing. There’s no space for honesty or simplicity without fear of some group of people shouting how offended they are, how things should be another way.

The increase in culture of suing because you’re entitled to. Voting in leaders nobody knows or wants. Interfering in global matters we have no right or place to be. Almost half of women rubbing brown sludge on their skin, black marker pens on their eyebrows and turning their hair a horrendous pale yellow. Almost half of young men wearing clothes that are too small for them.

Britain is quite embarrassing overall!

Cafes a few mins walk for coffee and bogs. Lovely wee setting too and woods for a wander/ride.

How do these two comments match up?

Taken a 6K hit already.

Aberdeen house prices are pretty stupid and we’ve prepared ourselves. We have a 20K inheritance and we hope to get a 20K profit from this place.

If you’d taken a 6k hit already you’d be marketing it at 6k less than you paid. It does sound like you can drop the price. It’s a stagnant property now, in the sense that it’s been on the market for so long that people don’t notice it when hunting, and those new buyers to the market view it with suspicion, wondering why nobody else has bought it.

If you stick it in at £75k fixed with a new agent I fancy your chances of joining your beloved ones before Christmas!

It seems there was an extension built in 1988… unless that’s not the address?

+10 TheLittlestHobo. You’ve said very clearly the feeling I’ve tried to convey during quick van breaks at work :)

I reckon a world where male and female meet in the middle could be the subject for the next Black Mirror episode.

She’s 7 months old Graham. It’s a comment about her toilet habits!!!

Pink…I just think it’s an awful colour and think my baby looks much nicer dressed in a mix of things such as turquoise, grey, green, blue etc. She gets a lot of “aaw he’s adorable ” comments.

I wonder how this discussion would go if it was over on http://www.makeuptalk.com/f/%5B/url%5D
Or

Brakes…totally agree. I’m going purple constantly telling the family not to buy the girl pink things.

The girl is 7 months old and absolutely cleaner and tidier than her brother was at that age. Is that societies fault?

Ah ok, maybe I’m reading a different discussion to you. My apologies.

Disagreeing with someone doesn’t make their opinions invalid sadly. And pretty much every post here is just opinion.

One thing’s for sure…you can still see the SAME people on here getting hot under the collar about how horrible normal life is when it comes to any topic vaguely related to gender, equality, titties or balls.

I don’t think STW provides a national average sample of women though.

Don’t forget, boys and girls ARE actually different and trying to make them the same is quite wrong.

I don’t think the brand matters much..it’s a metal box you make a fire in.

As long as it’s fitted properly and signed off.

Boble, it’s got huge ‘wings’ at the ends which creates a lot more suction, blows the grass into the bag with more force. Check LS Engineers for blades and measure up the bolt holes to check if it’ll fit.

A couple of times I’ve had the letter and told them it’s simply not possible for me to make it, listing work, self employment, kid care etc… no issues.

I’ve had a pro John Deere scarifier and a js63v and they were both horrid.

Edit just seen Glasgow Dan recommend juice. Hi Dan GGGC here

Dan Frazer Gardening, enjoying the damp summer?

I’ve used John deeres and hate them…too tinny and delicate. Used Viking mb755 and sold it last year…too heavy and again, built really for domestic use despite what they bill it as. Used masport roller mowers and for on ok for a season but they quickly started going downhill after that. Used etesia…a pro53, pro56 and the 48s and they were ok but not worth the new price.

Will you be after a roller mower or wheeled?

Currently using the kaaz roller which is ok if you’re using it yourself, but staff will kill the gearboxes and roller bearings. Fit a hi lift blade, speed up the engine and wash the grass bag/sharpen blades every week for top performance.

I also have a husqvarna mulch mower which I got to last 1 season, sell on and replace etc. It’s been good and I reckon I’ll get 2 seasons without breakdowns.

If I was only going to do domestic gardens I’d be getting an 18-19″ mower rather than 21. Don’t lift mowers…you’ll kill your back. Use ramps to get them in and out the van and up/down garden steps.

I started 8 years ago…feel free to pm if you’d like any advice. Also, join Landscapejuicenetwork as that’s where many sole traders go for chatter.

The BBC coverage of athletics, Olympics etc, is bloody awful.

Just had to say that.

I’m not sure about suspending from the roof as it’s bound to be tricky screwing up into the plastic and retain any strength
