    Civil disobedience reaches a new level of genius https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/25/anti-ulez-protesters-hang-bat-boxes-camera-poles-protected/ That is absolutely hilarious. Imagine the clipboards, meetings, paperwork and circular discussions that this is generating within the...

    What happens if..

    Someone had (hypothetically) run out of kero on a Friday afternoon and the only similar fuel on site was diesel. Could that be used in the interim in a kero burning esse stove? And if not, why not? And lastly, what’s the worst that would happen? Asking for a friend

    Is it me??

    So I use the RBS banking app, and last month I noticed it had a carbon footprint calculator. Obviously this will be a highly accurate calculation mechanism, so I was keen to investigate. Well, I need worry not, I can sleep with a clear conscience- Notice the “suggestion” along the bottom on...

    Alcohol

    I’m not sure if this is the right part of forum to post, or even if it’s really the right forum, but I think it’s a problem that many have experience of, either directly or indirectly, and the depth of knowledge/life experience on TFF rarely lets you down. We have a relation who is an...

Our little boy has been at the allergy clinic since the age of 2, been on abstention diet of meat, fish, fruit and veg for the duration since (despite a bit of pressure to try scratch tests and eating trials) and...

    Why do things have to be so bloody awkward?

    Got a harvester with a broken chain. Said chain is duplex ASA 60, so equivalent to say a tsubaki 60H. Only it’s not, instead of having double centre plates like everything else, this awkward &@&&@ has only 1 centre plate, therefore standard off the shelf replacement doesn’t fit into the...

    Dale drills

    Anyone run one? Any strong opinions either way? Like the look of the eco drill, potentially interested in finding a 2nd hand 6m, saw one at groundswell few yr ago, like the apparent simplicity of it. I’m a simple person. But…. Seed hopper on big wheels behind the coulters. I’m in...
