Looks like a BA (Boeing 777) plane to me. I reckon you can see the red flashes of the ribbon near the nose and the top part of the vertical stabilizer arrowed (that looks orangey). I could be wrong though

My dad was in intensive care last year for 3 week's last June (collapsed and stopped breathing at home)!. Every single one of them on that ward (MIU WARD 11) at the North Staffs was an absolute star. He then had 8 chemotherapy session's and 20 days of Radiotherapy at the North Staffs Cancer Unit for Lymphoma . Thanks to the excellent treament he recieved from all of those on the intensive care ward, the cancer ward and those on the Hematology ward he is back at home and making excellent progress. No complaints from me. And he will be with me at Chester races on the 9th May

When i was asked if i would like to become a moderator back in 2007 and can honestly say non of the above was true. The pm asking me to be a mod came like a bolt out of the blue and was a great surprise to me. I had attended just a couple of meets at that time!

lmao unfortunately admins get to keep their job as they are the bosses of bosses Careful...................

About September time then?

You cant go wrong with a Crucial M4. Make sure you keep up with their regular firmware updates though, great strides have been made since the 002 firmware. http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx

Good memory is cheap enough anyway, though i only paid £35 for this a couple of months back so got 16gig of the stuff. Ideal for an i5/i7 set up. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... =MY-094-KS

Not sure that 143 online was correct anyway. Sometimes the forum software screws this number up, a few years back on the old software we had in excess of 300 one night!

Can i also make the point that not all bricks are made in the same way. For example where i work they are extruded and wire cut, where as at some brick factories they use whats called a soft mud process where the bricks are formed in a mould. Typically these are for the southern market and have a high sand content whick means they absorb water much more than our extruded wire cut brick. Bricklayers typically can lay soft mud bricks quicker than wire cut bricks simply because they absorb water better.

I dont know Chris i am too pi**ed to argue and i know longer care! I hate bricks

Looks a good one here http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... RC-trolley jack

Ibstock ? Thats right Hugh Started as GH Downing then Steetley then Redland and now currently Ibstock.

Must be crappy London Brick then because ours certainly dont. Infact in my experience most brick faces fall off due to frost damage and not heat. No wonder we have lorries queing for miles to buy our class b engineering bricks (etruria marl)

Chris we are drying a non fired brick the clay is still wet (hence why they are called green) . A fired brick does not need drying if it becomes wet before firing up the BBQ We do loads of freeze thaw testing on-site as well to test for cracking. I have also witnessed a brick taking 300 tons of pressure before it finally cries enough! Anyhow i built a brick bbq centuries ago and non of the bricks have ever cracked wether they are wet or dry just because i want to cook a sausage. Beleive you me zone 10 on our current kiln is like hell on earth temprature wise if you have to work on it

I'm not too old to learn Do they crack at that heat though? No. Well if not done correctly. We dry them first in a dryer then fire them in the kiln upto 1180 degrees c. But its a gradual process steadily rising to that temp and then lowering enough to be able to pick them up on exit of the kiln. If they do crack thats because you have not dryed them properly in the dryer. They should enter the kiln with no more than 1% moisture content pic below showing green bricks (not fired) and the worlds heavist 350 car!

I work for a brick company (have done for 32 years). And we reguarly refire bricks at 1180 degrees c if we have no green stock to provide the kiln with So can t see how cooking a burger will burn your standard brick out!
