You are a very lucky man Chopper to have such a talented wife. I was involved in the art business a long time ago and can well imagine that your good lady has the talent to make a good living from her undoubted skills.Best wishes for the future to both of you.......

Clematis springs to mind (I say it with the accent on the "clem"). People can get quite heated about it :th_scifD36:

Yes it seems like that. I have been so busy this last year, it sometimes felt like I was serving a sentence. Ha ha Fingers crossed it should be much easier this year. I might even get the garden back to how I like it.

:D Hello KandyIt was a lovely day today, wall to wall sunshine and 13,5c so we went to the beach for a light lunch. We have to pass our post box along the way so stopped ... and there was yours with the Daily Mail Supplement of the World's Worst Serial Killers. So there's some good...

Blimey

Glad you're ok too, saw a reporter being scared by the lightning in the snow.Wheres Redstar ?

The TV chefs have got into this bigtime and we are being encouraged to ask for coley instead of cod etc. The supermarkets have not really got the message as they are still selling cod, salmon and tuna on their fresh fish counters, but coley, whiting etc. (viable alternatives) are in the...

Nice one Harry Threads are meant to be broken into, you wouldn't have a conversation in the pub where someone says, whoa, you're going off topic.Conversations evolve, so should threads in my opinion anyway.

And it wasn't that long ago either, dinner time yesterday as I recall.EDIT: I forget to mention how handy a hay box is for going on holiday in a caravan, as you'll have a hot dinner ready to unpack and eat when you reach your destination/get back home.

How cute is that...i want one!

It never does any harm to advertise in as many places as possible, but there are so many different internet based business directories that it is hard to find a single one that actually has significant numbers of users. When my mate and I had a go at our own business a few years ago, we spent...

Bear in mind you can only fish the North coast an hour either side of the high tide, after that the sea just goes.Don't let the little one go off the beach when tide is out. The sand stops & the mud starts. Its like quicksand, seen many people being helped out.

This lovely American lady is called Nanci Griffiths,I have been a follower of her for many years and have seen her several times and never fail to be moved.You may have heard her sing From A Distance one of her more popular songs,but she has written many beautiful songs.You may need to...

Glad that you all are getting better with you back aches and back pain, I used to suffer a lot when I was working in the carpet trade all the lifting etc, Makes me mad when you here of all these scroungers that are claiming for a bad back dont know what one is

Thanks for the info all, I have a cable/joist/pipe detector it was just a surprise to come accoss a horizontal wire as I never have before. Its nearly 30 years since I last worked within the building industry and I'm certain the up/down rule was in force then...barring difficult situations such...

Cool Vid as Steve says Ziggy... I do remember the peace to it was wonderful..!!! :D No, none of us want to inhale that either I agree......

My dad told me a storey that one of his older friends told him.Apparently my dad's mate (who was a young lad at the time) was walking in Saltburn woods (Saltburn is on the north east coast, just down a bit from teesside). Apparently the weather was miserable that day, a salient point as you'll...

Just to be fair, the people that actually do the calling are being paid a pittance and have to try their best to sell you something otherwise initially they just don't get paid much, and if they keep failing they get shown the door.The way I deal with cold callers is to simply hang up as soon...

Thanks for the tip John. Used to have an IR lamp many years ago. I shall have to look for another. I was awoken at 4:45 this morning. With both the shoulder and my trigger finger locked up as well.. ! Not sure which hurts the most
