More like just making sure you had seen him [:D] Just as well it doesn't have a honda tractor engine in like the F1 jobbie or it would have broked down before it got to the autoroute  [6]

"that she would never allow someone like him to treat her daughter" ??? [8-)] I would have thought that he would be the safest person to be with. Silly woman!

That is the difference with our guy C. He is totally genuine and will help anyone. We have been really lucky and on the odd occasion that we have had to go to another dechet we really notice the difference. We are on first name terms with the boss there and take anything we want to be rid of for other people, so there is a ballance. As we are sorting out for our move that is getting more too! [:-))] When we go with our trailer full of garden waste he takes the fork off of SWMBO and helps me empty it. When our neighbour takes her trailer he reverses it up to the skip and does the same for her. He is a real gem! That sounds like a really nasty and stupid thing to do to a pressure tank! Hopefully the bloke in charge made sure it was destroyed! I have just had a gander at my new toy and all is well and nice and shiny red, no marks at all..

Yesterday we had a de chetterie run and just as we were leaving I saw a nice big-ish red compressor outside the office. People leave stuff there for anyone who can use it. I was told that the woman who bought it in just said it didn't work. So now I have a nice big-ish red compressor [8-|] that runs fine, but doesn't pressurise the tank. there is slight pressure but not enough to show on the guage. So far I have disconnected the compressor to tank pipe, lots of air flow. Swapped the tank pressure guage with my small compressor and run the small one, the guage is OK. The small machines guage in the big job still shows no pressure. So I took the head off to have aa gander at the gubbins and found 2 reed valves, one for in and one for out. The out one was in 2 bits!! Golly gosh was my expression and I had the idea that I have a couple of sets of feeler gauges that haven't been used in years. IBM standard issue! I measured the thickness with my dial very near, vernier to you, 10 thou. So after I have chut a 10 thou feeler to size I fitted it and then put the head back on and tried it. This is the head and shows both the broken bit and the new. It's 25 metric things and as near as dammit to 10 thou [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Odds%20and%20sods/IMG_1175_zpse1c4gxkw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Odds%20and%20sods/IMG_1175_zpse1c4gxkw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The cylinder bit [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Odds%20and%20sods/IMG_1174_zpsgor1z6im.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Odds%20and%20sods/IMG_1174_zpsgor1z6im.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now I am the proud owner of a big-ish, 50 ltr, compressor for nowt but a bit of my time

Without signing in again Norman that is the same site that quoted both the overall value of houses sold within 5k and a year of us. It gave the price and the m2. I can't be a r s e d to go through that again at the mo, but if you wish I will and take a screen dump of it? Honestly, that is what I got.

I have just had a look at the site you posted Norman, didn't get chance before. It seems strange to me that you could have a totally Gerry built place with a really well built one beside it and if they were the same area they would be worth the same? Totally on the m2. It seems a bit like that a good make car is worth the same as a real c r a p job as long as it has the same size shadow with the sun directly overhead?

Excuse me Mods. Isn't about time this hanbagging slog was closed? Don't worry about having a go at me on here because I have dropped the thread.

ALBF, if I were in that situation I wouldn't care at all. In fact I wouldn't give a fork  [:-))] In fact, that reminds me of a situation with a VC10 flying to Singapore from Brize Norton when I was stationed there. It was after a 'flag stop' at the R.A.F's own holiday camp in the sun, Gan!

Close to Carcassonne you don\'t see them from the A61. The southern banking blocks the view, but from that bridge it's just that bit higher.. Going east the Carcassonne Aire has a beautiful view of the Cité This is it [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Old%20Cite%20from%20A61%204_zps1the2au1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Old%20Cite%20from%20A61%204_zps1the2au1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] If you catch it right you have the old and the new together. Ryanair fly almost directly over it and it makes for quite a contrast.

[quote user="alittlebitfrench"]There is no end to your talents Jonzjob. I did not realise that you could see the mountains from Carcassonne. Very nice part of the world.[/quote] I have been called an artist numerous tomes, but that's normally when I have a glass in my hand so I'm not sure if that's a talent or not [8-)] The Paie-a-knees are about 80 miles south of us and on clear days it looks as if you could touch them. One of my favourite views is in the car crossing the bridge over the A61, going north, by the old hospital, on a clear day you have the Cité in front of you and the mountains in the mirror. I would love to get a photo of it, but it would probably lead to an accident. It is lovely here and it was a very difficult decision to move! I'm not sure that you can see the mountains from the Cité inself? I think it may be just a tad too low? Next timr we are there I will see if I can remember to look. But with my memory, or lack, don't hold yer breff [:-))]

Never mind Dorgoigneshire ALBF, you could try a little bit of the view in our village instead of the view from a misty tummock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJBz5QJUv_Q Oh, and it's clickable [8-|] and a much nicer view .. Edit : - Don't forget to look for the anchient Cité of Carcassonne towards the end...

It is with 3 immobiliers here and 2 are 'supposed' to be putting on leboncoin, but as yet they haven't so we will be doing what Mr Bean does and start kicking bottom tomorrow. We also have it on 2 U.K. selling sites as a private buy. What fascinates me is how the immos here warrent 5 or 6% !! That's something like 19,000€ if they sell our place! [:-))]

[quote user="alittlebitfrench"] I am bewildered that a site that promotes France has a forum. This forum can't sell many houses. BTW, yes I am bored today. Too hot to go out.[/quote] It ain't sold mine yet!! Perhaps yer right and it's too 'ott to go out?

[quote user="lindal1000"]https://youtu.be/88rr6bGkdFE Just for you ALBF. Stage 11 of the TDF..starting point 'Eymet'[/quote] Just for you Lindal, IT'S clickable now

Pulse dial isn't recognised now Chancer, so if iyt were that it wouldn't operate at all. Everything is tone dial now/multi-frequency. That's why, if you but an old phone with a dial on it then it has to be converted.

I agree ET, unless the handset is dragging the line down until it's answered? We have had the Siemens Gigaset S455 for over 10 years now and due to changing from having a fixed line and ADSL together we now have 4 handsets on it. Great because we have then in different parts of the house and my workshop. One of the best is that we can have 2 or more handsets, SWMBO and me on the same external call. We can also use them as an intercom system. Useful if I am in the workshop and SWMBO wants to contact me and she is upstairs in our mezannine. No problems and the batteries have lasted for years! Great system. We can also allocate different rings for special friends/family as well as having the call identifier naming who's calling if they are in the memory [8-|]

I've been busy at my hobby again and I saw the light again. Well, for the forth time really. I love turning lamps. Angle poise to be precise and this is the biggest one yet. Beech stem and arm peices, oak base and leylandii shade. I was given a not very nice looking lump of oak on a visit to a wood supplier in Carcassonne a couple of years back when I bought a couple of beech planks, 2" x 8" x 10' for some other job. I have some of the beech left over, so I decided to make this lamp. The base is about 12" diameter and took 1/2 of the oak. This is a before/after photo [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Lamps/Tall%20aggle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%201_zpszfiomawc.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Lamps/Tall%20aggle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%201_zpszfiomawc.jpg[/IMG][/URL] It turned out better than I had expected. I wanted to hide the cable in this one, apart from the elbows of course. I had to do the upright in 3 sections as my lathe bad is about 3" long, so I cheated with the join by putting a contrasting ring between the bits. It would be very difficult to get the 2 to align perfectly and it looks awful if they don't. [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2010_zpschaluhof.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2010_zpschaluhof.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The shaft top knucle was fun too, but it was a good finish [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%209_zpsn3qnmfoi.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%209_zpsn3qnmfoi.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The shade is that stuff that every gardener this side of the pond adores, especially if it's the neighbours ajoining hedge, leylandii! It is lovely to turn though and takes a lovely finish too. [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2011_zps35pm7u34.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2011_zps35pm7u34.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And the completed lamp is now in use each evening in our lounge. But the photo was taken outside before anyone comments [URL=http://s47.photobucket.com/user/Jonzjob/media/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2012_zpsavngskl5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/Lamps/Tall%20angle%20poise%20lamp%20mk2%2012_zpsavngskl5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Next? I have a 12" long by about 8" diameter leylandii log on the lathe and I hope to make about 6 small dishes from it. It's good fun as it's all shapes and lumps, but I know there's are lovely dishes hiding in there. All I have to do is dig them out

Just one reason for kicking google into touch http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4524392/Google-profits-ads-target-sick.html I've switched to duckduckgo about a week or so ago. They don't do any kind of tracking and have been very good so far.

He's now gone to see how to build a wall http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39973197 [:-))]

The expression "promoted to the height of his incompetincy" comes to mind. As far as his earning power is concerned, I remember reading somewhere that the only real try he had at making money was a total failure. I can't remember where I read it though? The money he has was inherited and lets face it, oney makes money don't it!

When he is kicked into touch I can gear him quoting one of the Roman Cesars. "It's infamy, infamy, you've all got it in-fa-me" I can't remember which one it was though [8-)] Edit : - Found it

It would also be handy to be able to predict the future and where and when the prices will change. The 'right price' now may not be the 'right price' when it comes to parting with it and all I can say is you were very lucky.

I have had accounts on both, but kicked them in to touch ages ago. Now I don't touch them, now even with a long stick! Instagram? I had to look it up to see what that's about? No thank you again. I think that one of the dangerous uses of them are by idiots that trype first and think, or probably not, later. The new prat I/C the USA is a good example of that! Forums are different. Yes, they tend to have 'families' too, but at least they are monitored, smaller and much better managed. At least the ones I subscribe to and if that changes then I just opt out.
