  1. Past hour
  2. I would love to oblige, but despite my best efforts with the search facility, I believe I have never mentioned Biden on this forum at all.
  3. Some escaped from a council owned petting zoo near where I lived in Lancashire, late 80’s. They survived some pretty harsh Winters and eventually settled in a privately owned woodland, where they multiplied and where noticed by the local poachers. They are pretty fast, but unfortunately, slower than a lurcher, they are all gone now.
  4. Are they bringing them into Holiday Parks by the coach load?
  5. so Trump got out of going to Vietnam ,coz his rich parents knew a doctor who signed Trump off with a bone spur.
  6. I had a quote from a dealer in Bellac for the same saw, it came in at €1900 with the unit, charger and the bigger battery. I went and had a demo, first thing that struck me was the weight, it actually weighs about the same as my 572xpg. The performance was pretty impressive to be fair, certainly the best battery saw that I have used, the new large battery IS essential though. Unfortunately, gunning it through bar length hardwood sapped a fully charged battery in around the same time it took for the oil tank reserve indicator to flash on, so I would need at least 3 batteries and the ability to charge them to do a days cutting, I left with a 592xpg.
  7. I know @justinkingwell rates them and there’s not many people demolish as many stumps as them
  8. Just keep spending money on shite that doesn’t actually keep you dry then.
  9. Today
  10. Converted the splitter today. It was a doddle, no drilling or grinding required, just had to rotate the valve rod 90 deg with a socket. Handle from Flowfit via eBay. IMG_0320.mov
  11. I think you’re spot on!
  12. There's a Suffolk hook there with the long handle.
  13. Wasn't the bottom one with the triangular hole carried in aircraft to cut an escape opening?

    Wood can be left on driveway
  15. These seem like the real deal, especially if you have the right machine to put it on. Anyone on here used/owns or had consensual sex with anyone who has seen one care to pass opinion?
  16. Anyway, to give closure. I went and picked up the battery (€700) and tried it out, firstly very heavy, heavier than a 550 petrol, it cut well for 10 seconds then the battery was flat, so I went to charge it and realised I’d need a new charger to go with my two others. This was the straw that broke the camels back, so I took the saw and battery back to the dealer, said I didn’t want them, did a deal for an Echo 2511 and left it there. Conclusion: unless you’re not spending your own money ie. you purchase saws for a council or the like, don’t get this saw.
  17. Hello all, My name is Robert Cole, I'm an ex-tree surgeon and now a PhD researcher at the Countryside and Community Research Institute, University of Gloucestershire. I'm currently exploring woodland creation in the UK to better understand what is driving who to plant forests. I'm currently looking to talk to those that have planted woodland to hear about the decision making that went on before the work started. It would be great to hear about things such as what factors were important in this process, any trade offs that were made, and whether any other plans were being considered for the site. I'm equally interested to talk to anyone who might have been looking into planting but decided against it to get a sense of what stood in the way of your plans. If you, or anyone you know, would be open to talk I would really appreciate it. I would be more than happy to email over more details about the research or introduce myself over the phone. I've put my university email here and am happy to share my mobile through a private message. All the best, Rob. [email protected]
  18. Yes I had a 4g antenna fitted, and it worked for a couple of months. When I complained they upgraded it to 5g but it hasn’t worked at all for over a year. You see it isn’t my home it is my work site and in the middle of a forest so trees get in the way for phone signal.

    If you mean the battery version, I've replaced the micro switch. It's really not that involved. Turns out mine was just a bit dirty and just needed a wipe, though I still replaced it with the new one as I had it all apart.
  20. Some idea of price would be informative
  21. Whatever you do, don't buy arbortec heavy duty breathedry jacket. It's shite, and takes forever to dry. I too bought a couple of Regatta hi vis jackets in the sale. For the price, they're OK. I bring four waterproof jackets to work, if one's wetted out, I just change into the next one. Not sure I could justify spending Karona money, for something that is not bramble / silky / wild rose proof.
  22. I always went around 70% what the local builders merchants were selling at. If 4x2 was £1 a metre i was 70p that worked out quite well. Mainly external timber so seasoned stuff made no difference all douglas fir or larch. All the outer rounds from the logs after you cube it up would be cut and bagged for fire wood hardly any waste. Saw dust was the main thing to get rid off but the horse guys will take that for bedding. Facebook marketplace is as good as anywhere.
  23. NATO rides the US Coat tails. Its high time the US didtch the other members and let them FA&FO. Intersting you call Trump out for not having all chairs in the Ballroom. Can you link me to a quote where you said the same thing about a very obviouly dementia ridden Biden and his utter corruption and inability to string a sentence together. The hypocracy from certain folk should be astonishing but its no surprise so many libtards are so blinkered.
  24. To an extent. This is worth a watch: Watch LOL: Last One Laughing UK Season 1 – Prime Video WWW.PRIMEVIDEO.COM 10 comedians. One rule. Do not laugh. Jimmy Carr has assembled ten of the UK's funniest people in one room and set them the... Local comedy clubs are rammed.
  25. Mind they can put them on the TV, we don't have to find them funny. There are funnier "DEI" comedians on Youtubes.... but I suspect also too many bad words for the TV
  26. Wordle 1,679 2/6 ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Stick that in ya pipe, can't remember the last time I had a two!
  27. Yes, that was Jo Brands joke!!
