If I had my time again I’d have done Civil Engineering at uni instead of Geography, but if money wasn’t an issue I’d train as a Gamekeeper!

Thanks All, I’ve sent Vodafone a slightly stroppy email complaining about the poor signal, so I’ll see what they come back with (I thought It’s worth a try as I’ve nowt to loose)!

Davesport +1, Do you have a friend with a rifle (who knows how to use it)?

Where are you located?

I forgot just how annoying this silly tart was!!

The basement’s about to flood -ha ha!

There are some right dogs in this pic:

Why is it ok in a factory and not an office?

I suspect that this is down to the different types of people who work in each as a factory/workshop contains mostly ‘manly-men’ who feel the need to display their masculinity and don’t care about being PC etc, whereas offices contain soft handed overly PC ‘new-men’ who care about feelings and wear aftershave etc!

Bored after 2minute

Red Diesel isn’t just used by farmers, but is also used in construction and maritime transport (where there is little to no need for petrol)!

Oooh Good catch Sir !!

I hope you put it down before you gave yourself a little round of applause!

Wow, they must be seriously hard core off roaders to tackle that terrain in their rusty discos with 4″ spring spacers and remould simex copies

One comment on Facebook included the following:

someone walking dogs… said he saw short wheel landy pick up jacked up etc. also had no windows so driver and passenger wearing helmets. he said she saw them in the woods by the Pludds. the bloke said (his words) its was a 4×4 race spec.

Excellent! Shame we can’t see the dog’s eyes….can’t tell if he’s pleased or disappointed.

He’s VERY pleased with himself 😆

White kids in the 1970s said it.

🙄

I’ve heard numerous arguments against using chicken wire over woodwork, but find wooden board walks very slippery in the damp, as a solution how practical would it be to build a wooden ‘tray’ which can then be filled with rocks and earth, with an air gap below so allowing it to drain and not just become part of the bog?

If anyone’s looking for work in gas and electric transmission (Coventry based), give me a shout if you’ve experience in any of the following areas: CDM, health & safety management, Feasibility and environmental services, Commercial management, Project management, Risk management, Planning, project control and Earned Value Management and/or Dispute resolution/avoidance. We’re also looking for suitable graduates and school leavers and consider any background if you’ve got suitable transferable skills and experience!

Have a look at screwfix, they always seem to have offers on whenever I go in.

How can bloody students afford bloody Orange 5’s then?

Has anyone at Uni noticed the missing filing cabinets yet?

He’s only been in the job for 54 days, in the real world he’d still be in his 3 or 6 months probationary period and so wouldn’t be entitled to any pay once he’d left! 🙄

If you’d gone to Aldi she’d have used the other slot.

mrben100, I’m glad we’re not the only ones with a bloody stupid Spinone who thinks he can still sit on laps despite weighing 30odd KG!

Rugby (stopped about 5 years ago) and Clay Pigeon Shooting (still competing[ish] and will probably be shooting long after I’m too knackered to ride a bike!)

To be fair to ads678 I really don’t get why we need so much coverage of the bullpoo before the elections as non of it really affects us until they announce who’s won!

Here’s George the Italian Spinone enjoying a roaring fire:

I’m not sure why so many people want a view from the bedroom, my mums house has fabulous views, but I certainly don’t sit in bed looking at them, but I do enjoy them from the lounge and kitchen!

While looking for more info on last nights build I came across THIS (Sorry if it’s already been done as the news story is from Feb 2011, but this is the first time I’ve seen it!)

It was a refreshing change to see a couple who weren’t just throwing money at a house to make a statement, but wanted a nice home.

Sorry I can’t help with the dog, but where’d your missus get that hoodie from?

Look at NEBOSH and IOSH as they seem to be the two leading training / qualifications organisations (that I’ve come across anyway) and most H&S jobs look for these qualifications / IOSH membership.

I thought about chelsea boots, although I’ve got massive feet so maybe they wouldn’t suit

I’ve got size 14 feet and have a pair of Dr Marten Chelsea Boots which I don’t think look too much like comedy barges (my wife doesn’t make me change them when we go out so they can’t be too bad!). They are starting to look a little lived in now that they are entering their second winter, but still look great and the air sole is nice and comfy.

I just hope doesn’t try to top up his income by popping-up on more programs I actually watch as he makes my skin crawl!

I think there are a couple from Oxford or the Witney Mountainbike Club ride from the Windrush pub on Thursday nights.

What part of Oxfordshire are you interested in?

Hi, I live in Witney, but tend to drive to the Forest of Dean, Aston hill, South Wales, Swinley Forest etc.

Try contacting the Witney Mountain Bike Club as they may have a group ride organised or could put you in touch with someone who can help more than me!

There seems to be a rather high ratio of weird blokes (the sort that aren’t trusted with children or pets) and predatory ‘ladies in comfortable shoes’ 😉

Wow, 14 replies and no-ones suggested a passive aggressive note taped to the bin lid 😯

Talk to the person you think it is, even if they deny it they’ll stop if it is them, that way you’ll know and if it continues speak to other neighbours until it stops!

Check out those Spinones!

Any excuse to share some pics of George:

As a Puppy (with fireplace in background):

With oven instead of fireplace:

and finally a little more recently, but in much warmer weather:

..and another Spinone:

Find a poor person and pay them?

If I could do that I wouldn’t be fannying about splitting logs my wife pikied (sp?) on her way home from work!!

Thanks guys, is there a technique to using a maul or can I get away with brute force and ignorance?!
