  1. My point exactly in another thread Sizsels ( Head splitting ) All the salt went down the cracks between the slabs which haven't been filled in yet,and they are already starting to subside, high points are starting to show,but if you use dodgy contractors and black market labour you can't expect anything else! As Ive said before I hope the cooncil are well insured for all the compen' claims for all the head splitting, trips and falls. Good luck everybody and happy tripping :lol:
  2. :lol: He'll probably widen the doubles and trebles to get more 9 darters, like he widened the pockets on snooker for higher breaks and 147's
  3. Monsta BDO won't exist much longer! Mr Hearn has offered millions to unite all darts. More money for him and total control!
  4. OH! Definatley of course! None of them can drive properly anyway. And I talk from experience! I've passed my test so I will drive how the hell I want and what are you blaring your horn at?I'm right, women are always right! I've got my binoculars there's a car coming from the right five miles away so I'll just sit here cos I've got to give way from the right! Right? Indicators! What are they for? I'm going that way why should I tell anyone else? Lights, why has everyone got their lights on, I can see perfectly well! Mirrors, they're for putting make-up on, what else do you use them for? Reverse, what's that for? Who needs to go backwards anyway? :lol:
  5. Its now the PDC World Championship. And YEEEEESSSSSS Raymond 'Barny' van Barneveld has just hit a nine dart finish. £25,000 pound into his bank account. He also did it last year. People you should be watching this it is amazing!
  6. Same as ever one law for us and one law for them! If the jails are full build some more or start putting some of the scum down, some have given all rights to live up. All child molesters paedo's rapists and out and out murderers should be strung up! No better message than that!
  7. Don't even go there!more plastic bags full of !*!@# ! and we're on about the environment,what an absolute load of bullsh*t or in this case dog !*!@# . What are they going to put it in when plastic bags are done away with and the manufacturers are all on the dole
  8. No hanging baskets as yet but there's time. The planters would have to big or bolted down cos they would look good in my front yard
  9. 4G this was the original post. I agree the grass will be fine but the fences will have to stay up well into spring to let the grass rooting system establish as you say to stop it being trampled.A bit of forward planning would have made sure that this area would have been completed in time for the grass to go down or left with just soil until spring,either way we would have had less time having to gawp at metal fencing! Who is responsible for the upkeep of this VAST amount of grass? Do you not think this area would have been better with a low maintenance surface ie: astro turf. Or paved with a sculpture in the middle. This then would not require unsightly metal fencing for months on end! Just a thought!
  10. Missed it,was watching the darts. Is it repeated during the week as usual? Missed my Christmas Carol film as well,was watching football Bah Humbug
  11. Creating a new lawn from scratch is easy if you pick the right time of year and prepare the site thoroughly. Turf will quickly establish on soil that is warm and moist - autumn is perfect as new turf will also be regularly watered by winter rain. Turf can also be laid in spring, but avoid this time of year if you live in an area hit by a hosepipe ban as new turf needs frequent watering to prevent grasses from being put under stress. This was taken from an article in BBC Gardeners World. It also states frosty.conditions should be avoided at all costs. Looks like the fencing will be there for the forseeable future!
  12. Wrong time of year to plant grass or lay turf, another well thought out idea by our council boffins
  13. 40 again eh! Pete have a great birthday!

    4G, the animal life I was hoping to capture on 'film' are timid creatures so getting close would be a problem ie deer, foxes etc also close up of fauna, insect life and such like! This is very confusing to a rank amateur like me, trial and error is a certainty, I just do not want to be put off by getting the wrong camera and sickening myself because I can't use it to it's capabilities. Some of the things I have seen while sitting on the river bank or fishing lakes or even chasing a small white ball round the golf course,well these sights are once in a lifetime and not one caught on camera! Maybe a camera club will be helpful,do they still exist?
  18. What song,film,cartoon or saying would you consider apt for members on this site? Run to the hills(iron maiden) HP One minute wonder: Sian Home Alone: Mr Darn (sorry) Train-spotting: 4G

    I've always wanted a decent camera but I am an absolute loss as to which make and camera to buy!Looked at the Sony HX1, reviews say its an excellent camera but has no flash because of where Sony put the microphone! EH! You can tell I haven't a clue. Whats an SLR anyway! Do I need one? To cut to the chase I want this camera for wildlife photos,so zoom would be great, but which one? Also close ups of the minor wildlife ie:- grubs, caterpillars and the like. Then there are scenic views. Basically I need a good all round camera! All the sites I've been on are very confusing,some say this or that camera good and others say stay away from them,some I've found are good at one thing and not so good at others. So I need HELP. PLEASE! Any ideas? All help gratefully accepted. Cheers.
