oh JR - can't keep to a topic without de-grading it eh?!!!
I have been thinking about water butts - I think you could have them in folding plastic - so if you move house you can take them with you - or if you need to do work on that area you can empty it and fold it away -
Have thought about my drainage problem - and come up with a reasonable idea - just need to get my legs a bit more steady before I go up the ladder, make the hole, add the pipe then take it across the back of the house above the doors and into the butt - that way I can add the garage water too - however, 190 liters is not enough - so am thinking of digging out a large area of the grass, lining it and then filling it - then I could have a daily swim as well!
stiff breeze, some sun, can't tell much have slept alot again today - was helping at teh local town fete yesterday - hence the need for ZZZzzz!!

any one seen such things?????
No, but you can get the plastic containers in which wine is shiiped to the UK for bottling. Unfortunately they are rectangular. A neighbour has just dug in a water container - 4000 litres - into his garden connected to his gutter downpipes. I've got a 2000 litre tank (ex septic) under my patio which I might just have emptied and connect to the gutters.
BTW - 3000 litre septic tank containers about 450 euros (plus transport!) (they are simply divided into two or three interlinked parts.)

True - I Have a solar shower which is nearly boiling

It's a very large Non-League Football site, where many clubs have their own forums. Generally speaking there is plenty of male, (and female), banter and ribaldry (?).
One specific club took serious exception to the fact that I posted a rather delicious photo of a bikini-clad bottom to demonstrate the
'better bottom half of the league', stating that
'Some younger members use this site'. Probably before they disappear to kill every cop on their video game of
'Grand Theft Auto'.
I ask you ! Which is more obscene ??
I think war is about to be declared !

I have to agree with you in some aspect JR - there are too many violent games that these kids play, and very few seem to have any subject matter other than violence, but as a father you should know better than to post a bikini clad bottom on ANY website - after all if violent games lead to violent people, then those who like porn (be it soft or hard - and that is no pun) are poosibly likely to go out and perform those foul acts - so perhaps you need to moderate yourself and only put up what you as a parent of once small children, would like them to see......
