I like to dedicate my first post after a long brake to all of you who always wait for the final report and don’t pull too relentlessly. Here it is: http://mib.gov.pl/files/0/1797511/140011FinalReportAnnexes.pdf I'll be...... Good to see you back, Peter. And here's me been visiting Poland twice, or ...

Those bloody, f***ing retards at the local council refused to pay. Two local rags brought the story today. 8-) They haven't heard the last of me. :twisted: This be one of those imbeciles pointing at a road, "look no potholes". Well, wrong f***ing road, mate. From the story. peke.png Per

Nisse-Per would like to wish everyone a very, Merry Yuletide and a substantial, and well deserved hangover-New Year!

Tomfoolery, including cowboy recklessness of operating motor vehicles while under the influence of Akkevit and sarcastic suggestions of actually attending Per's event, all aside; Best holiday wishes to our group, and hoping Santa brings Evan a pedal powered bike, trice, big wheel or something so he...

Per, it sounds just delightful. What are the hazards commonly encountered with this kind of merrymaking? Not many, but 1. Driving the next day is big no-no. Huge fine, normally one month's salary + bye, bye driving licence for a year or more, maybe jail 2. You WILL put on weight 3. You are likely t...

1. Indeed . 2. What time shall we arrive? Here in Vikingland party starts at 16:00 hrs on the 24th, sit-down-at -table time is 17:00 hrs sharp. That's when the church bells, and my wife, goes first bananas, then ballistic. When you're stuffed to the gills, and Akevitt and Yule-beer oozes out of you...

Just few days left. Nisse-beard grown and ready for the unsuspecting rugrats in Wife's ex-kindergarten. Check SWMBO's present ready and packed. Check Sufficient amounts of alcoholic beverages purchased, sorted and stored correctly. Check Sausages and all sorts of Per's Special Yuletide Foodstuff pre...

f***ing up a new, perfectly good tyre due to local councile negligence is something totally different and not to be expected. ...in Norway. Here in "the greatest country in the world", it happens all the time. :( Back when I used to live in the city, I would joke to friends that they shou...

Expletive-laden, ban worthy, personal attack flame directed to Per. Over the last month, through normal wear and tear, Mrs. 3BS AND Mr. 3BS's cars BOTH needed tire replacement... all 4 or them...2 times 4 = 8...can you say NEAR TOTAL BUDGET DISASTER!!!!!! You had to buy a tire...booo expletive-hooo...

Ouch! If I did the conversion correctly that's about US$370... I've never paid more than about $150 for a tire. You definitely did the right thing though... performance of that mini-spare in snow might have been worse than the summer tire. It's also a little surprising/scary that the low-pressure w...

It's also a little surprising/scary that the low-pressure warning didn't come on for 2 minutes even though pressure loss was probably almost instantaneous. My interpretation (might be wrong) is that the bang was a bump in the road that damaged the tyre, which finally burst two minutes later. And th...

Saturday, driving down town to pick up a copy of Car Magazine to kill time on the 10:00 o'clock ferry to Sweden, one needs to stock up on Akkevitt since the Yuletide will soon be upon us. Wife driving for once, then big BANG shakes the car. Two minutes later, Low Tyre Pressure alarm. Paid extra for ...

Yup, wife's 2016, mine 's 1979.

To hell with the critics... I like it.

Who's a critic.
I meant to say; I did like it.

When we burn pine it is with full airflow and reheat. Good procedure! Not a problem. Violation of fundamental CRM that it's important to monitor the chimney that the updraft is not too swift, hot or roaring. Also, cowboy, improvisational recklessness... Is your stove big, fancy, expensive and attra...

I did.

True, but it is only a small amount of pine we use, less than 1%, and only because I helped an (not really )elderly (Thai) lady to chop down some pines in her garden. :mrgreen: When we burn pine it is with full airflow and reheat. Not a problem. Per Well, that's reassuring - the idea of you standin...

I could be wrong, but it looks to be pine or some similar resinous wood. I always thought that was a recipe for a chimney fire due to rapid accumulation of incomplete combustion residues........ Please enlighten me..... Does Per have an FADEC stove? (50% sarcasm) Yes, she's called Margareth. 8-) Per

I bet that hurt the back getting it up there :--) however you now have a good dozen logs (a long weekend's burning?) My back has been a pain in the ass ever since I totalled a Volvo "Jeep" while pissed. I still own the Royal Norwegian Navy NOK 85.000 for that pleasure. :mrgreen: Thanks to...

Many thanks to the Rabbi'O who has proved his Genius.

...Back strain? So do I, after lifting this little baby onto the splitter... I am sorry, but your logphotos.net picture was rejected as I could not see it.
