Spotted this on my way home from work in Uxbridge last night. Only a few weeks after work started on the long awaited Hindhead tunnel, the ground clearing crew have had a serious accident. The photograph shows a tractor unit used for moving the felled trees, and it is a hefty piece of machinery. I can only presume that nothing will happen to the unit until the Health and Safety Executive have carried out a full investigation. The unit is lying very close to the A3, I presume that the road will have to be closed when the recovery starts to take place - any volunteers? Not a good start for contractors Balfor Beatty who have only been on site for a few weeks. N.

SHB never have any Land Rovers for hire at this time of year - cos they're all hired out to Glastonbury!

Tonk may have some figures off the top of his head - if he aint patented his design.

fitted one to my 110 wirth PTO a few months back - very happy and easy enough to do I may need a couple of replacement stickers though

The guy I'm on about does those sorts of things. Can't find his card, but he works out of a shed off East street in Westbourne. There's a short lane off to the right (coming from the square as it were) and easy to miss, leads to a very small industrial/workshop type place. Sorry to be so vague, but I've found him very useful in the past.

There a chap in Emsworth will do them, and he's prices are ok - not got his details to hand, but will try and dig 'em out for ya. N.

Under its current program - China is building a new coal fuelled power station every WEEK!!!

I's been given the job of "decorating" the tower crane we have on site here Any clever ideas out there? Bear in mind that there's not a huge budget or I would go for the full on architectural stuff B) Jules wants an illuminated santa riding on a plane N.

Mike, Is this going to be one of those "drive-it-like-you-stole-it" tours, or a gentle potter? N.

FridgeFreezer has a photo-copied (hard to read in places) pdf version I'm sure he'll let you have - cos he's nice like that

While at the scappy look out for "plug-n-play" diodes as well - they can be very useful in some Electrickery circuits

490 1st attempt - now back to looking busy...

Does any one know (of course they do) how I can set Jules's laptop to automatically shut down at 4pm, and then not reboot until 8am? Stand by the plug and flick the little red/white switch at 4pm... make sure you're there again at 8am and 'repeat process in reverse'

How about a real time supermarket Hobnob price comparrison? Well it seems you've covered everything else Like the roll cage btw B)

Oh dear. Jules I may be Very Busy today

Wouldn't they then complain about all the Land fill you'd have created

And I am a car sharee (?) to London everyday in a LR of one sort or another - that must be a positive thing

Can you use "works for" and "Council" in the same sentence?

And I do work really hard

He works really really hard - so he says doing what however - I aint got a clue

I'm sure someone out there could lend me a cannon?

How can you be so chirpy at 05:21? Hi btw and welcome. JULES! Where's the coffee?

Which Nige? Yours, N
