    Great, I get to be the first to lock a thread on the site for this year.

    Happy frickin’ new year everybody.

    Can’t wait for the ALS spring.

    replied to the topic Outdoor Timber Bench. in the forum Backyard projects 9 years, 1 month ago

    I suggest that you do not use this timber at all. :woohoo:

    It should be carefully wrapped up and posted to me to make toys with – you have my address :laugh:

    Sounds like a really nice piece of timber, seriously.

    Wood (oops!) have to agree re not being an outside timber though, even though it started life as a tree :jawdrop:

    Firstly, take a deep breath then have a cup of herbal tea.

    Secondly, report by clicking in the relevant ‘report to moderator’ button in the thread(s) so a message is sent to the admin team.

    Finally, if all that fails, start your own abusive thread and see if that makes you feel any better. :shrug:

    Seems to work :whistle:

    Apparently there is/have been time out issues.

    The boss is/has been looking into the matter and things should be sorted soon.

    Can’t stay and chat, though, because my four minutes is nearly up :laugh:

    And there I was thinking it was all a deliberate scheme to get more people back to being more productive in the real world :whistle:

    Or maybe ALS really is that great a place to be that everybody wants to spend more time here :laugh:

    C’mon Dan, 15 minutes is more than enough time on here 😛

    Back to work, you lot. 😉 :tup:

    replied to the topic Pollinating veg in glass house???? in the forum Vegetables 9 years, 2 months ago

    Bobbee, it is easy to tell which sex the flowers are with the curcubit family.

    Mrs Curcubit is a pretty little thing with long eyelashes and Mr Cucurbit wears a tie 😛

    You could probably get them to ‘do their thing’ if you supply a small table in the glass house.

    On the table, place a bottle of red and some candles and allow nature to take its…[Read more]

    :shrug:

    Not sure what you mean.

    What is actually happening? Are you typing and everything disappears? Put what into contacts?

    What browser are you using (not that it is an issue per se)?

    Just a bit more info, please.

    Only a few days left of specials.

    Can deliver to Clare this weekend if anybody goes to the markets there.

    Apparently the Harley Davidson Club will be there too 🙂

    Better make some more motorbikes :blink:

    Strikes me that with all this concern over spelling, grammar or decimation the amount of relaxing herbal tea sales around the country should just about go through the roof :jawdrop:

    Really. This annoys people that much :shrug:

    Oh well, off to clean out my sock ‘draw’ <—oft seen misspelling

    bad case of allergy against everything governmental

    Can understand that.

    Reminds me of the joke for us self-employed:

    How do you run a successful small business?
    Give governments a large one to run.

    Agree with Dan, too.

    Hi lisanne

    Page 1, second picture shows a type of washer made from 19mm pvc pipe that attaches the plastic to the ag pipe. Works for shade cloth too or you can use quality plastic cable ties.

    If you are really enthusiastic (I was not, at the time) you could even thread it on using a blanket stitch – I think that would be the sort of stitch – no…[Read more]

    Bumped for whoever (whomever?) wanted to buy a poly tunnel.

    Try something like this and make it yourself. Much cheaper than buying one.

    You have to go back to page 1 for the article.

    Well, having survived the earthquakes that poured terror into the hearts of mid-north South Australians (useless news beat up) I managed to fight my way through fierce and frothy storms (well, a hot latte from my espresso machine) and post off several more satchels. :tup:

    Should be elsewhere soon. Both the satchels and me :huh:

    If your order got to me before 3pm Adelaide time (about 10 years behind Brisbane time) :whistle: then it has been posted. :tup:

    For those whose orders arrived later today, have no fear, they are done but will not get posted until Monday. :tup:

    Well, just posted off a few orders today.

    If you are waiting, you are looking for one of the Australia Post prepaid satchelly thingies.

    Depending on where you live I would think you could expect delivery early next week.

    Of course, if you only live a couple of streets away from me, I can drop them off after lunch :tup:

    The door is made from any bits of hardwood you may have lying around or can pinch from somewhere else 😉

    It would only be on after the fired logs/sticks etc have caused the mass to become hot enough to use.

    The door should not burn when it is on/closed because by then you have removed the coals but due to the nature of the beast, it can still…[Read more]
