I'm on a bit of an electronic thing atm (more dnb). Some guy on facebook hooked me with some really tasty live drums.

And if you liked that, you might like this:

I'm guessing at a biblical or druidic or pagan reference.

Several tonnes of fire wood from a dead standing tree available for collection from Wollaton. Call 01159255953 for collection from Wednesday 8th October... Next week.

Maybe I'm too sober this evening.

He would do, square.

You've lost me.

Presumably a 500i has a map for different injection timing depending on revs, load etc too.

Well why didn't they just jam 80cc into a 461 chassis and carb it with all the carbs they already had? Marketing alone, injection is a good idea. I'd be more likely to buy an injected saw over a carbed one having used the 500i. Imagine an injected 45cc saw packaged as a 200.

"the men beat on their drums and the women beat the men"

Yeah, I was wondering about mushies as I wrote that. I'm sure they weren't consumed by the masses. A few on the fridges like druids and witches undoubtedly. I'll be interested to learn more if you fancy researching the history of recreational drug use in the UK.

no dole then, so work or workhouse magic mushrooms had evolved by Victorian times, they used to neck a load then go mad to heavy techno of the day

Guessing that was almost exclusively an indulgence of the upper class. I don't think the hoi polloi would have been able to afford such exotica back then. They'd have been restricted to plain old alcohol, beer/cider/mead or dirty old gin. It's all changed now though of course, since the international drug trade has become a huge industry, the prices have come right down.

In the car world fuel injection took over from carbs because of efficient combustion over a wide range of operating conditions, really hard to run a catalytic converter without it. Also makes it easier to balance across the cylinders, than multi -barrel carbs or twin carbs. It is still just mixing fuel and air, little bit less resistance to flow maybe but power is determined fundamentally by cylinder capacity, compression ratio. I don't think chainsaws have the same wide range of conditions as car engines, hence no overwhelming case for injection. Yes you can get super fast acceleration, but I think it's jamming 80cc in a 461 chassis that makes the 500i seem good, same as jamming 67cc into a 362 case makes the 400 a good saw to use.

I'll go in at post 3 nevermind page 3!

Big problem which we have discussed here before, Asulox, the selective herbicide that was used is not licensensed anymore, glyphosate works but only in full leaf around August. Dicamba which had a specific application method, that was not often adhered to, is not licensed.It was applied in winter and was particularly effective but needed a summer follow up spot weeding with glyphosate. Cultural methods work and cut and cart three times in the summer probably the best where it is a monoculture. As I said the site is an SPA so no intervention in the nesting season is allowed. This is daft because it is spreading and nothing of interest nests under it. If it is cut for 3 years ( in the growing season but off the SPA) the re establishment of heathers is good, tussock grass on the more fertile bits. The thing is the SPA has three indicator birds that they judge the health of the heath by ( although it is a proxy as the insects and reptile/amphibians are a major interest). Dartford warblers nest in gorse so are relatively unaffected by cutting, Woodlarks will prefer the short sward produced by this recent mowing, the nightjars, which arrive in April and gone by September, will nest in the more mature heather and grass. There should be a scheme of cutting and hand roguing blocks while the nightjars have the rest of the , relativity, unaffected heather. Nightjar population is growing thanks to the reversion from plantation/woodlands on these sites generally plus asking owners to keep their dogs to major paths in the nesting season probably has an effect.

And look what that bunch of druggy wasters achieved.

Looks like it's still in its pot planted into the ground.

In Victorian times it was fine to get whacked right out of your skull Sherlock Holmes, the most famous consulting detective in literature, used occasionally cocaine and morphine to escape, as he said, from “the dull routine of existence.” This was nothing unusual in Victorian times because sale of opium, laudanum, cocaine and morphine was legal. Victorian users took these dangerous drugs as self-medication and as recreation.

Aye, it would be better if they were smoking decent Morroccan. Far less intrusive to everyone. If you drive into Walker, in Newcastle, the car ends up stinking of weed just by using its vents. But, there are medical cannabis users, who are allowed to smoke what they want. So be tolerant.

Strimmers, trees and the public. A dangerous mix.

If I do you can open a sweepstake on how many pages it manages before descending to chaos. I'll go in at only 3.
