LOL you win :)

Oh I love chinglish, it's by far my favorite language to read, and thanks to the internet there's always a good supply of material.

Is it wood from pallets? yes of course. Does a lot of it look like pallets have been covered with cushoins, also yes, but is that the only things you can do with wood from a pallet? No - with the caveat it depends on the wood. I've got lots of boards of wood of oak, ash, and various other...

Oh I do understand that - when the question is "how far are you willing to go to win?" when winning can be worth millions, it's not hard to see why so many succumb. The sports themselves have a lot to answer for too though, the pressure for the athletes to "perform" by the sponsors and team...

I can see both sides - I was gutted when I heard about Lance Armstrong as I was really inspired by his story to overcome incredible odds. I know he still did a great deal and you can't take that away, but the story is still tarnished by the drug abuse. If the riders (or any sport) have no...

total BS, and possibly a case to answer for misleading advertising. Are they really trying to suggest that you can hand crank a metal clamp such that you introduce "stretched tension" into it that can ease back as the wood shrinks? Stretch the metal, BEFORE crushing the wood?..... what?? #-o...

Offtopic a bit.... A good mantra to remember but.... how do you deal with a customer who won't be happy it's not straight (by millimeters over a 6m span), even if it's not going to be seen? Have one of those.... called "Dad", sooo annoying ! :)

A whole door.... in a day .... 8 hours. I'm sure that was common, but I'm still seriously impressed.

I have thought about making a feeder stand for some time now especially as my cat has now gone who was definitely a hunter. My parents house has three just closeby the glass covered gazebo and seeing all the birds is great ,and the efforts the squirrels will go to, to try to get at them. Only...

It's not telling me anyone else is here but CHJ on THIS page, it seems as though almost no other members can see even when other members are on.

This "award" system would get my vote , and although some might argue it creates a "have and have nots" we are adults here, mostly, and I think can be trusted to take it for what it is, besides which members like Custard, Sgian Dubh, AndyT and others deserve a bit of recognition for new members...

A good reminder - we don't have feeders but birds are around as any bread I throw onto the deck always goes.

Are we supposed to guess or would you like to give a hint... maybe a picture?

Exactly what I was going to suggest - I've seen this done before and it's very good - efficiency of space can often be better than more space - just look at the Japanese!

Wow.... I don't know whether to just take myself out the back and hang myself now, or just decide to ignore what most of you have said. I'm not in it for the money, I'm here for the same reason Lons was - I rise or fall on my own merits, rather than some corporate targets for fat cats already...

This is one of the reasons why I'm happy as a tradesperson to have the card. It also saves time as all peopel without it get the same long winded treatment, a scan and you're ready, if you buy from this sort of retailer often, I can't see the issue. It's no different than the fast checkout...

As a person relatively new to selling my services for this sort of thing I would absolutely expect to be grilled in some form or other - it's thier money and they have the right. With so many horror stories of tradespeople of the "bodgit and scarper" variety, any decent person who stands by...

@ Tomatwark Mods can't DO anything - it's down the the sites owner Charley - he's calling the shots on how the site looks, seemingly for a forum he almost never visits. I didn't even know who he was until it was pointed out to me.

I've snipped your quote purely to save the readers from double sized wall of text. My reply was not a /rant or a "toys out of the pram" reaction. I rarely have them, here anyway, because most posters are adults and don't say things that deserve a verbal spanking, but when I do, you can be...

I just learned a new word - ty :)
