When I used to frequent a pup I always liked to keep the same glass for each pint untill it was time to go home . It seems they are not allowed to do this now . Don't know why but I think the subsiquent pints after the first always tast better in the original glass . What do you guys think ?

Not yet, possibly due in Jan 2026. We have had a few enquires about them but I'm not sure if any have landed in the UK yet. We only ever stock a few battery chainsaws machines as they just move far too slowly. Has anyone in the UK used or seen one for sale yet?

It is, outrageous given it's just empty space, not even a loo (can be installed at my cost) but it's the least expensive in town. I'm also not in rural France but in a satellite town of a major economic hub. I'm faced with a stalemate situation. To afford a house of my own I must move out of town. Move out of town means relocating the business away from the epicenter sweet spot of my clientele. People call the most local business not one 15kms away where properties become affordable. Fine if I didn't also have ambitions to employ and replace my truck and could take the inevitable hit in calls. €800 equates to one days work after paying the subby climber. It fills me with anxiety to think I might be pissing money away for no good reason whilst also filling me will anxiety that if I don't do it I'll never know if it will indeed work out just fine. I must let the agency know tomorrow, meanwhile, devoid of alcohol, I'm going to eat and entire bar of Dairy Milk...

As I’ve been told and I’m starting to think it’s true, you are genuinely mentally ill. Did some handsome adventurous commercial diver steal your girlfriend or something at some point SP/TA. You seem to have a major issue understanding the difference between Scuba/Commercial diving, you put a lot of effort into getting a bite out of it, futile lad totally futile. PS if you want to cuddle a junky or alky get yourself into the city centre eh, there’s loads up your way.

Just dropped my 2nd truck off for them to convert, highly recommended and not too far for you compared to a lot of firms. They’re also 10 mins from a train station, easy return journey and pick up. Don't be fooled by prices thrown about online/facebook either, half the time it’s false economy as they use cheap thin metal for the subframe, cheap hydraulics, lots of “extras” etc.

Busted! Cheers mate. Enjoy your sheep’s face.

Morning gents, a fine crisp weekend here, blue sky and the feeling of winter. I got a good nights sleep last night, breakfast and a walk up the river with the dog. Now back to wrap my boys presents and maybe even string some lights up on the front of the house.

Booze is spelt with a ‘B’ not ‘Sn’. have a good one mate.

Kirkland’s in Stoke are good if you don’t mind travelling a bit.

I think aware is correct.

I have used one of these in the past.....if I am replacing the old bearings with new. No need for heating/cooling, and the taper of the tool gentle eases the bearing from the crank. Just grease the side touching the crank weights to avoid any damage, but it really doesnt need it. https://www.redboxtools.com/product/draper-14159-fork-type-ball-joint-separator-19mm/ Oh...and dirko goes everywhere...particularly your fingers, which then get spread everywhere you touch on the engine and it's bastard stuff to remove from the bits you don't want it on. wd-40 is your friend when it comes to wiping it off.

Could 13 down be adore?

I thought fêted but can’t think of anything better than aware.

Merry christmas to you and the mrs pete, I look forward to your messages every day always a story involved. My Fav is stubby with his wicked sense of humour.

Goat willows do sometimes grow some surprisingly large burrs -like this small one. Keep an eye on it for a couple of years, if you know any wood turners/carvers, they love them !

800 a month seems like a lot of moolah, for France. Thats a mortgage on a small house.

Stuart, here's my thoughts: my own (UK experience only) is that any treework/forestry businesses that are unattached to a domestic residence, consistently tend to attract local unwanted night time 'visitors'.. regardless if they are alarmed. A second visit then follows, within 12 months, and so on. This can be surprisingly stressful and time consuming. Having a house (or occupied caravan/campervan by the work building) generally reduced those 'visitors' by 80-90+% Last negative: UK commercial rental contracts are like the Wild West, from a Tennant perspective 😳 Maybe things are different in France, tho ? So, I'd make an uneducated guess, that the welcome extra passing trade and enhanced publicity, from a busy location would outweigh the 'security issues/losses/ hassle ' ? -why not give it a try, with an 18 month 'get-out early' clause in your contract terms ?

Excellent access for articulated vehicles

Yup, top being an ars from the scuba diver

You really are an arse arn't you?
