Trying to light a barbecue like a total amatuer. Knew I should have bought a gallon if lighter fuel.
Use petrol, itās perfectly safeā¦
Did some walking (about 5 miles) then some gardening (with the occasional beer) and now some listening (with the occasional beer).
I like beer and walking but not gardening.
Get a Weber BBQ starter chimney thing from Argos etc.
Dream tool for easy burnā¦
When I was a kid my friend poured meths on a fire to get it going. It burnt back into the container and exploded, burning most of his insides and outsides! He survived, but it wasnāt pleasant.

Actually it may be magic turf, it had been laid on top of some block paving and was only an inch thick but growing quite happily.
seconded - an excellent contraption
Even J_B is trolling Stus lawn now.

Maybe thats where heās been going wrong? Too much soilage.
Bad drainage and trees are the problem,2 of my neighbours are Astro turfing as well.was surprised to see it only needs 40mm depth of sand then membrane then tent peg type things,sounds far to easy for my liking
Had a look a round the Kings Cross Development including lunch in Spiritland. Lovely lunch and great latin sounds through the LV system. The area is worth a look and has to be one of the best developments I have seen in and around London.
ā¦moaning about my chemo, as I have been grounded by the trots. Fucking miserable today. I shouldnāt complain as we walked the dogs and had a peaceful morning in the sun before all hell broke loose.
Thatās shit news mateā¦

Mostly subjected to Helās annual spring clean, or more accurately- what shit have I collected that she wants desperately to throw away. Sheās gone full potato and here I am with 20 fucking bin bags of stuff to take to the tip.
(And Iāve got to sort through it when she canāt see to rescue half of it 
).
Sorry to hear that mate.
You have every right to moan if you need to
Fuckinā man-up

Sympathies Olan - a small mercy, I suppose, is that the trots didnāt start while you were out walking. Hang on in there !

Sorry to hear that Olan.
Rode it like I stole it, all over south Wales.
