well it didn't go quite as planned Stubby, having got initially a good sign she was going to burst into life, it quickly became apparent it wasn't to be, further investigation revealed a sheared woodruff key, I have a large selection of those but the problem is removing the sheared piece from the crank, its managed to get itself firmly secured. not to worry just another delay in a very tired arm.

Still no piccies, sorry. I promise I will do one day. A house in woodland which is for sale, and client wants it to look more saleable. Cue him hiring a chipper, and me turning up with a van full of pruning gear, and ladders on top. Even with one of his staff feeding the chipper, and one of my mates helping me, there's still a gentle day's work left for tomorrow. There was a lot of walking, and a lot of thin brash to clear, and lots of ivy. We had a Greenmech Quadchip 160, which seemed very happy with branches up to four inch or so, but not so much with anything bigger, or the leafy stuff we gathered up, unless we could run a nice branch through at the same time.

Arrive to Main Car Park and contact through Reception/Entrance or call ahead for Shanna/Jason/Lizzy or Nathan if needed

no photos of me taking the tops out, but you can see summerhouse it was over, the angle was similar to the one on left behind it

If there's one thing I've learnt from just watching the first four Terminator films, it's that we need more privately held grenade launchers.

Bizarrely, I actually believe you, that you are a computer from Zanzibar. I'm fairly sure you're not a human in the UK who had finished an ash reduction "earlier in the day" and was then posting on here by 09:37.

nobody getting a photo of me with both hands on my pole!

here?

Need a photo of that one!

To explain - there have been a few bot on this site recently (typically a question, no follow on from the OP, or if it is the follow on is straight from a google search) - nothing personal.

Two cracking songs. I might have had a phase of playing both on repeat when I first discovered the originals. They were well before my time, I only heard Somebody To Love because there was a dodgy dance remix played a lot on the radio about 20 years ago. Controversial! I think it sounded OK, had the same energy as the JA version. Better than this similar effort at least:-

I’m a computer from Zanzibar

That’s some serious work man good on you: might give that a go if I’m ever in a similar situation

You should watch it, a classic in its way. At least a clip of the campfire bean scene as a warning for your cooking.

I'll admit my ignorance here - I had to look that picture up. Don't think I've ever seen the film.

No Stubby, they're straight shank.
