I would mate. Nip it in the bud before it gets outta hand.

I agree I wouldn't pay the grease and oil, that's maintenance which should be covered by the hire company. Maybe a quick bit of research or a call to a timberwolf dealer will tell you if the price is reasonable for the switch. If they've got to source it and get it in it's probably reasonable they have a small markup on it. In future get hire insurance, an extra cost to the hire but no nasty surprises at the end.

I rally need to speak to my agent .

Bollocks.

No I don't think so, but any atheists I've ever spoken to have been quite quick to tell me they don't believe anything and don't go by any principles. There may be some atheists in the American government I wouldn't know, but a country doesn't became what America has on no principles does it. Going back to the original topic, you can't deny Kirk had very strong principles, he was so definite in what he believed in and was very happy to discuss why he had that view and what backed it up, which I think is what has made America such a strong economy.

They've become the biggest economy in the world since slavery was abolished so don't think that's entirely true.

they also ****************ed your over in the motion picture. Only produced one book and even used a western actor with almond shaped eyes as you. The uproar amongst the woke was deafening.

In your opinion which values are missing nowadays which need to be brought back to make America great again? Which values did biden destroy in his 4 years that were there previously under trump's administration?

It's still out there, we watched it last year

Tbh they pulled the dirty on me as it was supposed to be a red arrow rather than blue. But hey ho. If anyone wants my credentials then here they are as I'm going all out unanonymous. Aang - Wikipedia EN.M.WIKIPEDIA.ORG You can still refer to me as the legendary Mesterh but I will also answer to Aang if you so wish.

Mesterh aka the Last Airbender. i remember watching that series about you when my kids where younger

It's not making America great if athiests are thought of as having less to offer than Christians

It is however, what built the finances of the US though. See a lot of time "what made us great" is seen through rose tinted glasses rather than what actually happened, romanticised to take away the blood sweat and tears, and most often blood. So if you are hankering after a past where the US was making bucket loads of cash, you need to go back to how they were making it too.

Seems very petty to charge for oil and grease! Ok on the stop switch as that does need to be paid for but it does sound a little excessive. But who knows, it's probably an arb switch which will cost very mucho moneys compared to say standard switch.

I’m suprised they didn’t add sharpening of blades tbh. Excessive? Prolly, but them’s the breaks on hire machines.

Well I googled 'the best avatar' and now that's who I am

Charging for oil and grease it taking the piss. I know it's not the expensive bit but still. Why is the end user being charged for the maintenance of the machine that should be factored into the hire price Re: the e-stop I'd be asking for proof of the cost of parts and the time to replace. Seems excessive.

If ANTIFA and BLM are taken into account,I would say the majority of political violence comes from the left.

It is fair from the hire company, it was damaged by you, and it wasn’t a consumable. The relationship between you and the client, is….between you and the client.

Key word being context

It's interesting to read how the same rules don't apply to both sides (in the view of the current administration), with regards to the appropriate responses in the wake of "political violence". "Trump responded by making repeated jokes at Paul Pelosi’s expense." and how despite Trump's obsession with "radical left violence": "all extremist-related killings in the US in 2024 were connected to rightwing extremism, just as they were in 2023 and in 2022" The US is on the brink of another era of political violence – and Donald Trump ‘couldn’t care less’ | Jonathan Freedland | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM In their humane responses to the killing of Charlie Kirk, Democrats are observing the old norms. Things are different...

I felled some regrowth thorns for a customer, and burning them onsite wasn't possible. They were in a paddock belonging to someone else, I'd felled them from the dyke bank. Having decided that removing them with a trailer was going to take a long time, and be very unpleasant, so client and I decided to hire a chipper. At my suggestion, one was hired from a local company who he had an account with, due to them having taken over the clients from a company who were no longer trading. We got a Timberwolf 190 with a diesel engine, and it performed far better than the Greenmech Quadchip 160 we had used on a job for another client. So far, so good. Only problem was, when feeding it, a branch whipped round, and knocked the emergency stop button off the intake hopper. When I returned it, I told them immediately, and was told " oh that's no problem at all". Customer rang me today, and isn't happy. He's had a repair bill. £3.50 for the oil the engine used, ( in less than four hours ) £3 for a cartridge of grease to regrease the machine. Now the dubious bits- £100 for the stop switch, and £90 labour. Customer now faces a £200 bill on top of the hire charge, and is not a happy bunny. I am not flavour of the month either, as you might guess. Have we been turned over, or is it par for the course? No contract was shown before hiring. The company is a big agricultural dealer, but the hire side is growing so fast that it appears to be run by a sort of " arms length " company. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

oh ok - so according to the late great tiktok star - we should be worried blacks in responsible positions (like pilots) aren't just there as a diversity hire
