When I was stoney broke a few years back a single very large pumpkin picked up from the side of the road, a bag of rice and a bag of Coucous along with the many various herbs & spices in the cupboard fed me twice a day for 12 consecutive days.

Somewhere in my workshop, I have several of these left over. I no longer use this style because the ball joint is secured with a removable pin, and customers removed the pin to unhitch the trailer and subsequently mislaid the pin. The ball end has a 10mm diameter male thread thread, and the socket e...

I own a small business that manufactures bespoke cargo carrying bicycles, tricycles, quads and bicycle trailers; along with a few other products. I tend to to keep away from wheel stay towing points that are close to the centre of the wheel and axle because some of the forces involved can bend or da...

I keep and fly a pair of Red Tail hawks which are a slightly larger American cousin to the European Common Buzzard. A Common Buzzard could take domestic poultry, but would have to be in 20mph + ground effect glide to have the momentum to back up its powerful talons. However, the major part of a Comm...

Sir David did make a very compelling case for the addition of birth control chemicals being added to chicken nuggets.

My second sighting of a big cat was in October 2009. I was working for a company in Spooner Row, near Wyndham in Norfolk. 3 of us had snook out of the workshop at around 3pm for a cheeky afternoon smoke and spotted a big cat in the meadow adjacent to the workshop. We were stood in a slightly elevate...

I have seen big cats on two occasions: November 2003, and October 2008, and both occasions I have been with others. I have also very possibly been in the close vicinity of another big cat; probably a European Lynx within the last few weeks. November 2003: A big cat presumably a Black Panther variety...

A piece of a Snickers bar or if I am tight fisted mode peanut butter.

I bought a Nite Ize meteorlight Disc-O Battery Powered ball from ebay for £6 + 99p P&P two weeks ago, and Oz and I have had great fun playing with it in the park behind out house each evening since it arrived through the post. It is so cool to watc the internal LEDs changing through the colour s...

We have had a large, free delivery of well rotted Horse and Donkey manure from the local sanctuary for our garden delivered today, and guess what Oz has obtained a taste for? I have been preparing another batch of home-brew ginger beer this evening, and when I accidentally dropped a ginger root on t...

Stepped 3 Tier Planter (Reclaimed Pallet Timber Project). My Pallet Stripping Bar has had another outing, and this time I have made a "Stepped from the rear corner" 3 tiered planter, so That Lois and I can plant various flowers in it. Hopefully this coming weekend Lois will be planting bu...

It's amazing what they will eat...wonder how they decide they really like something ...how do they find out they like something? Gareth... 25 odd years ago I kept a pair of Lurchers: well that's what I called them, but they were really Black Lab X Whippet crosses. I could not want for two better do...

Oz our Collie loves to dig up and chew Horseradish roots; we have to keep all of our pots of Horseradish well out of his reach, otherwise they would be instantly destroyed. I also have to watch him when I empty the barrels that have been brewing weed & herb tea as a feed & fertiliser for the...
