... that I am probably the worst Grandad ever. :( Shame, but there it is. It's true. I do love my grandkids but I can only stand to be in their noisy, screamy, misbehaved company for about 10 minutes at a time. My son berates me because when...

Welcome to C21st Britain. I too hate all this banking sh!t, drives me mad...especially having to remember the thirteen digit Visa debit card online security number. No idea what it is, so just use other cards that ping out six digit security...

Just tried to find out the balance on our last Tesco credit card bill. The burd on the phone couldn't tell me as the account was "locked". We passed all the other security questions. Every flipping time it gets harder and harder to something as...

If it is a 2004 Disco 2 V8 what would the BHP be? Don't think Tdv6 came in before Disco 3 and 2004 was the last year of Disco 2s. If TD5 it'd be a 16p engine mebbe? But he hasn't said never mind if it is a GS or an ES or whatever!

Welcome to the forum. Now why don't you go onto the "Introduce yourself" part of the forum? and I've seen this post on the V8 part and the 200tdi part, which is confusing?!

Some good news, but he may want to put a horse shelter up. How is access to said piece of land? J

We are on our fifth day of virtually no rain and temperature at 13 degrees. The garden has taken off like a rocket!

Wow! Bettern 'ere! Today we have had sunshine, sleet, snow, sunshine again and now it has gone dark. We were told to expect rain, oops it is just snowing again! and flipping cold. I'll be making a fire soon!:(

Since I last posted I have had lunch and realised that a field shelter would prolly incur a slight amount on the local taxes. :( even though it is uninhabitable. Will have to check. Mind maybe I could then get the field reclassified as arable...

Some! Some villages have feuds going on that date back to feudal times. We know one the other side of the valley like that! And in ours, people have been sent to the equivalent of Coventry for marrying outside of the village, and there are only...

And the villages are normally right 👍

Exactomondo!!! But then we thought that about "donkeyman". But this guy is a lot less weirdy than tother guy is, who no one in the village likes. ;)

Good result and good for when your not their 👌

Access is OK, at the top corner there is a bit of flexible fence he could easily get in. It's how the farmer used to get in when all the land for the four plots was a big field, and he went in with a tractor. I don't care if he puts a field...

I have noticed mine are not like thay were some mornings my best eye is a bit milky but soon go's so have started useing drops. Oh for the joys of getting older 😨😨😨

Porky pie that or are you by the boiler 😉

....and the good news is that just as I was preparing brekker a bloke came to our gate wanting a chat. It turns out he has bought recently in the village and has been hunting desperately for somewhere to put a horse on. So he asked me if he...

I thought my fairly recent slightly blurred vision was down to the cataract so did nowt about it until I went for the eye test last winter. It turns out the cataract really isn't a problem, yet. Instead it is lack of tears in my left eye...

How bad is it do thay do the eye drops first?

Long John weather. It's all topsy turvy can't get Mutch work done 😮

Afternoon all, its scorching here :banana::banana::banana:

I only cooked the smaller thinner chunk to see how it turned out. 🤣 🤣

No work outside today its raining :( But yes got some more down only about 20sqm to go. J

Hang on I’ll get the tractor 🤣🤣 Funny enough watched a video the other day of them tearing one down, really interesting , wonder how many gallons to the mile it gets

🤣🤣 It was certianlky big enough that’s for sure , funny enough only used the tent a few times , reminds me once the summer comes I’ll sy it out on the lawn to check it, think it was a vango, if I got another one would like an inflatable tents...

😂😅🤣

Sympathies mate!:(:(:(:(

That’s all the windows foiled. Now I can’t find my liver of sulphur. Not that it has a shelf life. Looks like I’ll have to order a little bottle of fresh stuff. Decided the windows will be going in before paint. The timber is already waterproof...

He wants me to install 2 new boilers in some of the farm houses and wants ‘mates’ rates. To be fair, we’re good friends and he knew I was after one.

Farmers don't give away bargains... There'll be a reason he sold it, you just need to find it.
