  2. Yet you are happy with similar language when it fits your requirements, I refer you again to the answer given in Arkell v Pressdram.
  3. I don’t apart from he’s mentioned it’s the office he commutes to daily and it’s within the public sector, other than that it’s top secret. I’d still as a tax payer rather he worked diligently than pissed about on here. After all the public sector does have a huge productivity issue. Same question Mark why would it matter to the nosey bugger how many days I do on the mill or what usage my pick up gets etc etc, put yourself out there you’ll get picked off Mark. 😂😂😂****************s given 🤔0 You’re in good form today lad, I suspect my brain activity is a bit clearer than yours was at the weekend when you posted at 0230 🤔. I’ve said before having the same leftard ideology buys you a lot of slack on here.
  4. Sorry mate didn’t see you’re reply appreciate the advice though gave up with it after grinding through another casing and the clutch exploded

  7. Roads. Probably tolls. Haulage firms would probably pay to have the slow lane to themselves. People in a hurry could pay to have the fast lane to themselves. Rory Sutherland has a few good ideas about it. My favourite fat man. Unfunded/Disbanded state or not, we should scrap the standing army. All it does it rile brown people round the world and cost me a fortune to do so. And takes up ingenuity and materials that could be used for more useful things. As for national DEFENCE, we're a wet island that can't grow coffee. Who wants to invade us. And even if someone did, who has an army of 25 million men that they can ship here. 25 million being the number of 20-50 year old men in the UK at the moment. The British Army is currently about 100,000 men. The Chinese army 3 million. Just 10% of those 20-50 year old Englishmen is 2.5 million. If out of ten mates, you know one who can sleep in a ditch and shoot, we're fine. I read an article (probably mises.org) a while ago that reckoned even air defence could be taken on by commercial property owners. SAMs on top of skyscrapers that would protect their valuable building but all the people in the area as a happy knock-on too.
  8. We always saw "varnishing" of the insides of carburetors that had been left with fuel on, as the petrol evaporated but it seems to have become worse.

    Its in all fuel, E5 and E10 to varying degrees. The ethanol is added by the refinery (allegedly at the last minute to avoid the ethanol messing up their systems or attracting water, oh the irony!) and each brand adds their own additives. It would be great if there was more testing and transparency in the UK. Finally its amazing that hydrocarbons retain their usefulness for millions of years underground and humans manage to refine it and add stuff that make it go stale after a few months!

    Good access, plenty of space to turn around.
  15. Here’s that oak. Septic system underneath and a power line/telephone cable, but no real issues tbh. Not tiny but not massive. Finished by 13.30 so a civilised day to start the week. a34a3fa2-f074-4970-b39a-9a0a60c8eb50.mov
  16. This time you spend at work to be pissing around waffling shite on here lad on the taxpayers ticket 😞you should be ashamed. That anonymous public sector job you are so ashamed, afraid or embarrassed to let people know what you do must be a pretty slack old space to “ work” in.
  17. I'm intending to print things that will make my job easier. Open to any ideas, if you think of something useful I ca try to print it. A lot of stuff has already been designed, along side plenty of useless tat. First up was a brightly coloured climbing wedge. I've got cheap beech wedges but I'm always loosing them being wood coloured. Climbing scrench. 13mm, 19mm, two hex bit slots for flat and torx. Cord hole for hanging, fuzzy texture for grip. Quite a bit smaller and hopefully less stabby than a metal scrench. I might alter design with some sliding caps over the hex bits as they are still a bit stabby. Theres a hedge trimmer sharpening jig I might print. Requires disassembling the blades however, and mine dont need it yet, hopefully wont for some time. Dremel/Bosch hedge/grass trimmer sharpening jig by MrSomeone MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models MAKERWORLD.COM I'm presenting you a rotary tool hedge trimmer/grass shears sharpening attachment that can be used on Dremel and Bosch Professional machines. Key... Currently printing a chainsaw sharpening guide. I dont need one, but why not try it, might get in the way and annoy me, my angles are pretty good. Chainsaw Dremel sharpener by Nasti MakerWorld: Download Free 3D Models MAKERWORLD.COM This attachment for the Dremel helps to maintain the correct angle when sharpening a chainsaw. A cylindrical 4mm whetstone is then used, which is... Printed box to store the sharpener when its in car or on site.

  18. Christ SP is that the best you can conjure up lad. Get back to work ffs, have you seen the problems with productivity in the public sector you giddy fool. Work don’t wonder 👍👍
  19. That's a thing AHPP, a good idea to pay as you use it - a good example might be petrol taxes (and now electric vehicle pay per mile) to support the road networks through extra taxes that a pedestrian doesn't use. But... things like the armed forces you can't opt out, image "we're not going to invade apart from number 57 who haven't paid to be defended, we'll invade them" - the things for all of society that you cannot opt out of because it covers us all equally. There is also an efficiency in collecting the cash centrally rather than every service having a cash collection department.
  20. Probably the same people who do the actual work will continue to except we won't be paying politicians and civil servants to middle-man. And people who don't want something won't be forced to pay for it. Can't be specific because I'm not an expert in any of those fields. But that's the joy of voluntary markets. Experts come forward and do it because they can make money at it.
  21. Oooh, 'Leftard', does that make you a Rightard, and your attitude rightarded? Just wondering,

    Sounds more like a lean start issue than a Husky thing. If they’ve sat that long the carb diaphragms can go crispy and the metering side won’t deliver enough fuel on first fire. That’s usually what scores them. I’ve seen Stihls do the same if they’re left parked up too long. A quick carb kit before starting would probably have saved them.
  23. If you’re comfortable with graft and working outdoors you’ll fit in fine. Plenty of people come into arb in their 30s, and your farming background is a big plus, you’re already used to machinery, weather, early starts, and problem-solving on the fly. With 30/31 you should get some ground-based work pretty quickly, and adding 38/39 will open a lot more doors. Most firms are always short of reliable climbers or decent groundsmen who actually turn up and crack on. First aid + chipper ticket also help and don’t take long to do. South Oxon has loads of firms around so you shouldn’t struggle to get started. Wages vary but you won’t be on the bottom rung for long if you’ve got a good attitude.

  26. Are these only added to E10? I had assumed it was the ethanol reacting with something else that was causing gum which didn't happen with straight unleaded.
  27. Muddy42

    Husky junk

    I thought ethanol was the problem in both situations - attracting water but also softening and attacking "rubber" (or what we think of as rubber) flexible parts in carbs and fuel lines. The other junk additives (corrosion inhibitors, de-activators, and stabilizers) can settle in the carb as the rest of the fuel evaporates which causes gumminess and blockages. I'm really tempted to try and separate out ethanol one day to see how pure petrol performs and smells. there are lots of vidoes online about this.
