This might be completely off the wall, but does anyone know if it is possible to get coloured kiln dried sand? The colour I'm looking for is Black, I have a drive to wash and seal in the summer and all the pavers are Black, so just thinking that a Black sand would look better then the usual colours.

Waste of time: no matter what colour you use, it'll be mucky brown again within a fortnight.

Genuine black sand is usually a foundry sand. We used it occasionally to disguise blemishes in bitmac. You can get it via Garside Sands, but be warned: it's pricey!

Thanks guys I will follow up sugesstions, but to write, we will be sanding and sealing on the same day so the sand shouldn't discolour, hopefully.

Exactly how much sleep do you get Mr Lout you always post late at night and first thing in the morning to much redbull perhaps. The last time I saw 2am on a weeknight was when I was a teenager.
Can't see it from my house

I like my sleep but I've seen 2 and 3am every night this week out on road resurfacing, it sure gets cold at that time!

At around 11-midnight, it's great fun watching the piss-heads staggering home after far too much ale, how the poor chap last night didn't end up going over a low footpath retaining wall as he 'bounced' his way home last night, I'll never know!!

Only had a couple of days on that. Got to a bit where you have to run down a street after some eejit while a lot of other eejits shoot you down. A few fruitless goes at that I and I got fed up. Any tips?

play the multiplayer rich,single player is for noobs

my squad (see what a tablet i am) play in www.eurodomination.net
league in the parachute division

when you have never played online games its easy to take the mick,but most of my squad are between 25-50 and its as good a crack as the pub and a lot cheaper (after buying the game thats it)
plus it keeps me out of a a lot of the grief that used to occur in my forays into the social whirl that is luton at night time

our squad is called KIA http://kia-teamspeak.no-ip.org/
for those interested in such things
