I realise now plants have to be moved but its the last bloody straw when she wants a small slabbed terrace moved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because it is in the wrong place but she forgets she designed it. Bloody women they should be put down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet that stirs some of you ladies reading this!!!!!!!!!!I wonder how many minutes it will be before the mail starts to roll. p.s. I had better hide now.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![um][:D][:P][6][li] p.p.s. i don,t suppose I will see the sun eclipse today -probably have to do with a clip around my ears for attacking women.

  3. USE MINIMUM OCTANE RATING OF90. IF REGULAR GRADE IN YOUR AREA IS LOWER THEN USE PREMIUM FUEL LEADEED OR UNLEADED. IF MACHINE EQUIPED WITHCATALYTIC CONVERTER YOU MUST USE UNLEADED. USE ONLY QUALITY 2-STROKE ENGINE OIL. USE YOUR MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS AS POOR QUALITY FETROLOR OIL MAY DAMAGE THE ENGINE,SEALING RINGS,HOSES AND FUEL TANK.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I HAVE A STIHL WHICH RECOMMEND 50 PARTS PETROL TO 1 OIL BY VOLUME.OTHER BRANDS MAY NEED 2 PARTS OIL. MAKE SURE YOU MIX WELL AND DO NOT PICK UP A CAN OF PETROL AND USE IN ERROR AS THIS WILL KNACKER YOUR ENGINE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I SHOULD KNOW I NOW HAVE 2 MACHINES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON,T FORGET SAFETY BOOTS,GOGLES,GLOVES AND PERHAPS SPECIAL TROUSERS AS THESE WEAPONS ARE LETHAL.   IF IN DOUBT ASK SOMEONE TO SHOW YOU OR THE SHOP WHERE YOU BUY. POINTLESS PICKING ONE UP FROM A HYPERMARKET IF YOU HAVE NO ASSISTANCE UNLESS YOU WISH TO INSURE YOURSELF[G]
  4. I HAD WELL ONLY AND NEEDED 65 CU.METRES .!!! INSTALLER GAVE ME 2 LARGE BLOW UP POOLS AND SAID RAIN WOULD FILL THEM -ABOUT 20CU.M. EACH GUESS WHAT IN2002 FEB./MARCH DRY AS A BONE AND STATING TO PANIC. AS LINER HAD TO BE PLACED AND TO PREVENT AIR TRAPPED BEHIND IT FILLED WITHIN 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL ONLY SUPPLIED 3 CU.M. PER DAY BEFORE RUNING POSSIBLY DRY. NEIGHBOUR SAID I COULD FILL FROM A NATURAL SORCE RUNNING ON HIS LAND A MILE AWAY. I BORROWED 1000LITR STEEL CONTAINER FROM MARIE AND MY FRENCH NEIGHBOUR TIED  IT ONTO HIS TRACTOR. I BOUGHT A 20 METRE LENGTH  OF HOSE ,STUCK INTO THE SOUCE WHICH HAD ENOUGH PRESSURE TO FORCE WATER TO TOP OF CONTAINER AND FILL IT EVERY HOUR. I THEN BEGGED FARMER TO DRIVE IT TO MY PLASTIC POOLS AND TOPPED THEM UP. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 DAYS WORKING FROM 0800A.M.TO 0800.P.M. AND THE NEIGHBOUR WOULD NOT TAKE A SOU. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOUR .I PERSUADED HIM AND IS FAMILY TO GO TO A RESTAURANT AND HAVE WHATEVER THEY WANTED. NOW I DID ASKPOMPIERS IF THEY COULD DELIVER FROM RIVER AND THE WATER COMPANY-BUT THEY SAID NO.!!!!!!!!!!! AT ONE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD BOUGHT THE FIRST DRY SWIMMING POOL IN THE WORLD. SUGEST YOU FOLLOW MY ROUTE UNLESS A PIPE CAN BE HIRED TO CONNECT TO  WELL  AND PRESSURE IS GREAT ENOUGH.. GOOD LUCK.[st]
  5. The suppliers state the salt tabletsAQUASWIM are stabilised to give slow release and accept no responsibility if i use another as they state anothersalt qualiyy may damage my appliance-a Clearwater Electrolyser. PERHAPS POOLGUY COULD COMMENT ON SALT TYPES??????[8-)]
  6. What is your pool temp.?or have you a cover or are heating it or you are young and brave.I live in southern haute vienne and have had salt pool for 5 years with heater and auto. chlorinater and only bought 4-5 bags salt last year -20 euro per 25kilo bag. have not found it expensive except for heatingbut the madame will not swim if below 28 even though she was born in the tough n.e. of england where you needed diving wet suit before going into the sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Changes in laws and poor advice initially resulted in buying a Walter  cover which now not   passing norms.costing 4658 euro plus extra snow supports,a bubble  sun cover,blue, on  telescopic stainless steel  roller for 10 x4.5 metre pool with roman end cost 640euro-also now unuseable unless you have fence or a completely roofed pool.!!!! p.s. Just thought any one out there intersested in my bubble cover??? only used for 3 seasons any fair ofers considered or i will put on e-bay and sell it to an eskimo. same goes with Walter cover.THE COVER WILL TAKE WEIGHT OF YOUNGSTER UP TO 8 YEARS BUT MADE BEFORE NEW TEST AND CHANGES  REQUIRED BY LAWS. P.P.S. I now have conforming alarm and fence which is not.

  10. newcastle lost but they only had 10 players!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! scunthorpe needs all the support it can get -i actually helped your economy as i used to visit the chinese and fish and chip shops. p.s. and occasinally a beer parlour. how is the grab a granny dance? i was once in a taxi with some frinds from work and as we drove past the iron and steel works at night with the bright glow from the furnaces a blonde norwegian woman asked what did they make in the factory and the driver said PLASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone creased themselves with laughter but the woman said "what are you laughing for?     worblr,worble, worble .we said nil points to Norway.[:D]
  11. well i was going to reply to one item and as the letters kept coming i had forgot what i was going to respond to.!!!!!!!!!!!!! does that make sense are you all following if not i will type slower.!!!!!!!!!!!! people who loose pencils should tie them o a piece of string and attach them to their neck unless you can buy themsimilar to the biro,s on a lead. another trick is to get someone else to do the job. when i worked in a laboratory one of the senior chemists who was lazy and never had much to do would come and see what you were doing then take over the job and you quietly stepped away.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think he had memory loss as he used to come to work in slippers!!!!!!!!!!!!! back to pencils always start with put one behind each ear and one in your mouth and with a bit of luck you will always have one when you need one. if you have a beard one of my assistants  did  tuck one in !it looks like a bone through the nose at a distance.good god another possibility looms up yes you guesed it   if you can find one of your3 drills get the other half to drill a 10m.m. hole through your nose.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. if you have a long nose then 2 holes are possible so you can have a coloured one as well.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my big problem is i go to do something and when getting the tools find something i forgot i had and start looking for something to do with the other tool.!!   this is a serious case of being side-tracked because i only came on line to check for messages 30 minutes ago and here i still am playing on the keyboard as my typing skills are very slow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.p.s. my wife said all my skills are slow or non-existant so i will close down and return to what i was doing before     if        i     can     re       member !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sunshine coming out ,stopped raining i,ll take the dog for a walk \1\11111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     excuse me any body want their dog walked i just realised i don't have a dog .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     ma.ma.open the cage as ARTUR ENGLISH WOULD SAY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   now that's another story. next time .bye for now you redundant lot of readers .   now before you send me any crap mail that was a joke i should  know as i was made redundant 3 times aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.     that,s another story.[co][sn][:)][:D][:P][;)][6]

  15. If you have room in the car suggest you bring some plants with you as range in france not yet as great as u.k.and can sometimes be more expensive here.However if you are buying more expensive plants/shrubs/trees then probably best bought locally as many are guaranteed. we have been in south limousin area adjoining dordogne for 5 years and started with only the exiting ,chestnut.oak and beech trees ,but the other half is the expert -like most women gardeners and i am the shifter.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when a plant does not like an area or needs more or less shade then thats when i shift it.!!!!!!!!!! not to be left on my own as i pulled up a large weed which apparently was a honeysuckle-- well how are we men supposed to know. we nowhave many different types but as others have pointed out you need to check the soil ph.which is very simple.if your french is not too good bring a ph test kit from u.k. as instructions easier to follow. yours , lady chatterley's gardener/labourer. p.s. just moved 6 shrubs.     again.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buying a bag of cement tomorrow that will stop her moving them.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have just been told a garden is never finished and all things will be moved more than once and if i complain again i will have to learn to cook my own dinner.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh.hell.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! better go and put the early potatoes in.[ip][W][:)][W]  
  16. Some comments have been made by those who live in both countries probably becaue they cannot decide where to live or unwilling to give it a go or even have enough money to buy two properties. the decision is difficult sometimes but we all have to make a choice-c'est la vie.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
