  1. Past hour

  3. Morning all . Another scorcher by the looks of it . New tiers fitted today .
  4. Up late and had a few Ouzo and waters! Lying in bed with Yorkshire finest, listening to the waves. Sounds hot..... Chair, Row, Key.
  5. Today
  6. 39 weeks !!!! “4 weeks and a foetus no biggie” vile comments from an obnoxious coward. The shit you come out with on here is a ****************ing joke man. The giddy stupid excitement at the prospect of a “ tricky issue” was palpable in your reply, matched only by your obsession with using the word “ rapist” at every opportunity. No wonder you choose to lurk in the shadows of internet anonymity SP commenting on everything and answering nothing. There’s a couple of pics of kids born at 35 weeks you bloody fool.
  7. Yesterday
  8. I somehow doubt it.
  9. Hydraulic fittings are measured by inside hose dia(!!) in imperial. I'd reckon on these small loaders being 3/8" or 1/2". Same size fitting just different thread size. They come with a female bsp thread but you can get a male to male adapter for a quid or so if needed. As a side note be interested how you get on if you're using Holmbury, they're not the fitting they once were. Was made by a different manufacturer in Europe now they've moved to China the quality has dropped (I think). Although they insist nothing has changed. Manuli for the absolute best.
  10. "Smart chargers" I have found to be cheap rubbish and often dont appear to do work. Single button and a few LED's doesnt make it smart. Lead acid batteries are extremely basic to charge anyway. What I'd recommend is a lipo charger from the RC world - these actually are smart and can do nearly every different battery type. The advantage is they also do discharge, most have a screen and can tell you exactly how much charge has gone in or out of the battery, so you get a fair idea of its condition. As a general rule, manufacturers over spec lead batteries about 4x what they need to, as they degrade over time. When they get down to a third or quater capacity, its time to replace.
  11. You can 'trick' a smart charger into charging a flat battery by using jump leads connected to a good battery and the flat battery. I have to admit though that solar power is the way to go for battery fencers.

  13. There getting funny on it now as it's now classed on par with Japanese knot weed ,himalayan balsam ,giant hogweed .but I know on my policy ,I can't do or remove anything to do with the plant... l but bamboo is reclassified ... it travels far,can come up through concrete .. because of its rhizomes ... and it's an absolute bastard to deal with .
  14. If this is indeed the case which I believe wholeheartedly that it is then it is without doubt utterly reprehensible, cowardly and unforgivable the absolute STATE of the UK police and judicial system… | Noel McElwee WWW.LINKEDIN.COM If this is indeed the case which I believe wholeheartedly that it is then it is without doubt utterly...
  15. Looks great! I’ve sent you DM for particulars… another shout is CBF in Worksop - anyone heard anything?
  16. Exactly that.
  17. Not there quite yet as I'm moving house, but I'm actually looking forward to ringing around now rather than dreading it. I'll report back
  18. Really, I didnt think that it was that bad. IMO you cut it down, dig out the roots and just spray any regrowth, My parents had loads of it in their garden, sorted it after a couple of years.
  19. I find the 'smart chargers can't cope with seriously discharged batteries (I use them for electric fencing and will leave them on til they cant operate anymore - usually less than than 9v) and fail to recognise them as 12 v and will instead take them down to 6v. 3 or 4 minutes with jump leads off my quad bike (not running) or any other mostly charged battery brings the charge up to 12v for long enough for the smart charger to accept it and consequently charge at full rate, to completion.
  20. Is it a problem?
  21. I was asked the exact same set of questions from university college, Cork. When I couldnt give qualification, and only a rudimentary, generic risk assessment they concluded the only answer was to seal me in a Heras fence enclosure,and to opetate only at a weekend with fewer on site students walking around the work area. Another site at a major sporting and tourist castle renovation had exactly the same approach. Even though it was a construction site of a truly astounding scale they went through the vaguest ever risk asses and then again put me in my own sealed off enclosure. I didn't even have to wear high viz, but if I stepped outside I had to wear one. - I'd told the safety manager there was too much risk of snagging a flappy vest! The grunt I was given , employed by the company had to wear his vest at all times. I was there for 4 weeks, moving in and out of my enclosure only to arrive and leave again.
  22. I was going with no, maybe yes. There would probably be far fewer wars in the middle east, a lot less dead people but for the rest who knows. Hopefully the UK wont be dragged into this emerging middle east war but with our "special" relationship with the US who knows.
  23. The OP doesn't say how far from the house it is! Cut the top off, dig out the roots as far as possible and glyphosate the new growth. That will do it if it is repeated until completely gone.
  24. Be lucky if he can get a mortgage on it ...due to the bamboo,u might be lucky it's a clumping varient . FYI if you do get a contractor in be aware contractors insurance doesn't cover removal ...I know my insurance doesn't cover me removing it any more . But it is a bugger to remove ..you'd be better walking away
  25. Is this regular client private sector or public sector?
  26. I haven't changed. I've never used state might to starve an Irishman before and I probably won't do it now. I don't know who the British government is being a twat to at the moment, besides me. Probably more people than you hear from on British TV.
  27. Depends on the customer, they might not know any appropriate qualifications - just know that someone (insurers...) have asked for them to be suitably qualified with risk assessments... might draw a blank if you ask the question... I'd be tempted to play off the experience outweighs paper qualifications and offer up what you might have - basic chainsaw tickets, whatever you have that might be (a bit) related to milling and working with timber.
