You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

One of my fondest memories of a trip to the sea side, is when you walked into an arcade and heard the legendary...

"Operation... Wolf"

That's sorta etched in my brain now, up there with "Get Ready" from Space Harrior! :)

If I heard them now it'll be like warm apple pie for my ears! ;)

Defender and Sinistar where Sounds that stick in my mind. And i still love the Sound to this day!

I used to like the Sliding shelf machines with the 2p piece's and there was another one with a moon land scape and when the meteor pockets filled up. There was a shit load of coinage came out.

And everyone used to look. I add ask can i have that in pound coins please ;D

For me. The sound I remember the most is Galaxians.
Every time I go to the coast and enter any arcade now is just not the same.

If I had the money spare and the space. I'd buy something from Liberty Games.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.
