A set of ladders

My sister is always rediculous at Christmas and spends faaar far to much. This year was no exception I've spent all afternoon hanging that chuffer, I absolutely love it. Hand made by my neon guy, amazed he managed to keep this a secret!

Family has had a pretty shitty 2015, Christmas just smashed all problems into shit. Had a great few days with great company, good food and great gifts gifted and received!

I think he spotted my smashed window then checked... There's bars on the inside of the building so I don't know what they guy thought he'd do once through the window..

Kinda angry but also abit weirded out.. Went upto my unit Saturday night on my way back from a Christmas get together, about 11.30 to drop some stuff off. Pulled up, Jenny waited in the van while I started unloading and a sensor light a few units down came on, didn't think much of it as there's always leaves or litter floating around the car park. (My unit is in the middle of nowhere, it's about 2/3 miles to the closest village, there's 5 old stables converted into industrial units that look out onto woodland and farmers field). I'd finished doing my thang so I locked up, jumped in the van and started to drive off, as I spun round to leave Jenny noticed my toilet window was smashed, so I stopped, checked it out then went inside to board it up and get it somewhat secure again. When I'd finished and started to lock up I thought I heard something in the brambles the other side of the fence by the last unit, so I walked down to check it out, couldn't see anything and turned back to get in my van to go home. I went into work today, had a knock at my door and it was the guy from the end unit, he told me to come check something out. Turns out he has CCTV and caught some guy breaking my toilet window. As I turn into the car park, he must see my headlamps and scarpers down the front of the building away from me towards the brambles. Whilst I'm in the unit he climbs the fence and hides in the brambles, when I've finished and I walk down to the end of the car park he's still hiding in the brambles so I'm about 10ft away from him, probably staring straight at this guy. As I walk off to get in my van he climbs back over the fence and runs off into the farm fields! Properly creeped me out, this guy could've been any nutcase and I had no idea he was even there.

Which one Ed?

Daaamn. Feel like such a wookie!

^ Throw those 2 in the pit of Sarlacc

That films incredible

Goat fisting is too specific Ed, there's gotta be a back story/personal interest there surely...

Level up!

Just saw this and thought - Oh shit! JD! But then realised that's not his other half..

Grinder instead Dan?

Don't be a dick mate, that's a birthmark.

Just met a bloke who's wallpaper was aload of guys in army uniform, I asked him the story and he told me how it was his troop in Afghanistan, and all the background to the guys. Was pretty interesting but pretty heart wrenching when he said 'he died of x.. ' and 'he's in rehab now...' Anyway, I digress. What's yours? Is there any story to it? If it's a picture of your missus with her yams out, please don't post it, just send it me in a message. Mine is this.. Pretty boring, it was our first holiday as a family, sat at spice island where we went on our first holiday as a couple 8 years ago. It's the only picture I have of Ted in focus because he's so flinchy it's always blurred, shame he's blocking Jenny's face. So then, what's yours?

We decided this guy was our present to ourselves this year.. I bought my dad a load of 50's promotional Caddilac stuff that I'm having mounted to give him. He'll find it as interesting as anything worth 10x more which is cool. Kinda jealous though, I want it!

I spoke to Lucy a while ago about some unrelated jobs, but she never returned my messages. My plan is to try and get as self sufficient as possible. I've had sandblasting guys let me down before so I've bought a sand blasting tank and big hopper and gun to cater for myself. I don't offer it for other people, just for my own use to try and be as independent as possible. If something isn't finished when I said it would be, I've only myself to blame this way. I'll wing Jones a message later on to see what he's recommendations are.

At the minute I'm using a lot of cut vinyl stickers on restoration work, to replace old writing and such. I'm also using printed stickers . The guy I use knocks stuff out of unbelievable quality, he's just so f**king slow and unreliable so I've decided to buy my own setup. I'm looking to buy a decent vinyl printer to do my own work. I'm looking at second hand branded, so I can get some sort of aftercare down the line if needs be. I need help though deciding what I need, is there 1 machine that does bothprinting and cutting? I don't understand the whole process to be honest but I know a few of you lads have made your own stickers before so thought you might be able to help. The stuff I'd be making would be for my own use so speed isn't key, and the biggest thing I'd be printing would be 150mm at its widest so I don't need a huge machine, A2 would probably be it's biggest demand. Budget of around 3/400 for something good, I've seen a few recon machines around that money so I'm happy to spend for good quality. Any help would be massively appreciated.

I played a friends PRS SE custom 24 at the weekend, I now want a custom 24. The feel was so nice and balanced, action was beautiful too. So light to the touch but you could really get to grips with it quickly, sort of thing that felt so normal within minutes.

Could just be camera trickery, but driveshaft on the left looks abit banana

I did look into it but there not the most advanced company online, they're pretty shitty and German

It is upgradable but the software I need doesn't agree with W10 for whatever reason. JD, the program was a paint mixing scheme, just a massive database of colours then the relevant weights and information needed to mix them. I don't have the space/need for a full laptop so a wall mounted 10" tablet does everything I need. Plus having the SD slot makes keeping reference pictures and progress pictures nice and easy to keep up to date.

I've done my googling and discovered if I copy and paste from the CD staright onto a ish drive it'll carry all installation files. I did that, just inserted the usb drive into the tablet and it began installing, then reached a point saying 'SSQ reader unavailable, update via the internet'. So I did just that and its a winner! Fired up straight away!

Luckily I enquired about this first, the linx 10 should be running a full version of Windows 8 and able to support full programs (if you can get the bloody things on there).
