• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    So..is anyone feeling, justifiably, just that little bit smug ….

    I was in-between tenants ,the oil had been run dry so I stupidly used the oil vendors emergency top up service. They were there in an instant with a steel barrel on a pickup truck and pumped in just enough for the engineer to get the boiler running again. That was just under £300 ten years...

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    Very hard to choose affiliation on this. No way could I ( be allowed to) justify hundreds of pounds unless I would use it frequently. But Ive been either completely let down by cheap kit or had to waste time and sanity working around its problems. I have a cheap laser level bought around 25 yrs...

    My only experience of foreign cops was in Ibiza We had hired mopeds to tour the island and I took the very first roundabout clockwise and met a police car coming the other way round. The policia inside just laughed as I swerved around them They were the ones in the blue shirts but along the dual...
