So a bunch of lads turn 40 . Where shall we go to celebrate they say . Lets go to Weather spoons in Uttoxeter coz the waitresses have big tits and short skirts . 10 years later they say now we are fifty where shall we go to celebrate . Lets go to spoons in Uttoxeter coz the waitresses are easy on the eye and there is a great selection of beers . Ten years later they go to spoons again coz the food is reasonable and you can have a nice quiet meal with no loud music . 10 years later they are 70 . They decide to go to spoons again coz there is wheel chair access and disabled toilets . 10 years later they say where shall we go to celebrate . One says , I know . Lets go to Weather Spoons in Uttoxeter coz we have never been there before ...

Don't put a new pot and piston on it until you have determined what caused it to nip up in the first place . If it was an air leak and you don't fix it you will be back to square one again .

hi . We can help you. There will be an upgrade for it. We will need a machine serial number and the details of the engine. The 35 should be the Kubota 35hp engine so if you can confirm that it will help. This helps us to know what the upper and lower rev settings it would have had originally. You have the 108 tooth wheel I can see from your picture. Green Plant UK - 01483 235111 option 1 for parts.

A robot would cut far too randomly for him, and It's little house would clutter up the perfect rectangle of grass.

What, he's not got a robotic one!

I believe sime. "Doug will a mower with a roller on it make better lines"

Ah, fair enough. He sounds like our neighbour; perfect lawn, (with perfectly parallel lawn mower tracks), spotless cars, windows, block paved drive etc etc. Its what his weekends are made for. A couple of years ago he relocated the shed at the end of the garden. By a couple of feet. It's a large shed too, must be 15x15' at least. He said that previously it wasn't quite central and not quite aligned when looking out from the house. I kid you not!

Not in the least, just a "must be new, laser straight and perfection in every way" type of guy. The only time he doesn't notice the insurgence of his lawn is on a Sunday morning when he jet washes a fleet of already spotlessly clean vehicles. It's genetic, his dad is the same, at war with spider mites in his lawn, Greenthumb always there applying some treatment or other.

How much is AstroTurf Vs therapy?.

I'd suggest not looking too closely. Grass is grass in my book. Even moss passes for grass sometimes, at least it's green and not muddy. Is your friend a lawn bowler or croqueter or something?

Yeah. The gin. Apply nightly.

I suspect my mate is developing psychological issues and wonder if anyone can help. His trouble seems to be with the wrong type of grass in his lawn. It's got under his skin now and he's becoming desperate. Apparently it's annual Meadow Grass and he's tried cutting it out with little success. I have suggested he drink another glass of gin and find something that actually matters to keep him awake at night but to no avail, so I promised I'd ask here if anyone knows the secret to instant Meadow Grass eradication.

ps cracking noticed 4 1/2 years ago.

Thanks for taking time to reply. The house is 125 years old so the tree was at least a semi-mature oak when the house was built ie the tree was 175-225 years old when the foundations were laid. There is an oak of the same age to the rear of the property and at the same distance which the Insurers have completely ignored. The roots of both trees must have been well established beneath the house when the property was erected. The independent structural engineer advised underpinning as did an independent arboriculturist. The Insurers insist a root barrier is the cure and will not budge despite lots of issues such as the safety of the tree if anchor roots are cut. The front garden tree is on my property but only 2’ from a boundary hedge with a pavement and road used by traffic to and from a large Primary and Secondary school further along the road. Many further advice or comments woukd be very valued.

Just nip the top out, it’ll be fine.

Cherry regrowth (if you prune it aggressively) goes off in aesthetically unpleasing directions. Man plans, god laughs. If it's not a problem, it's not a problem.

Hello! Following some good advice from @spudulike @adw and @Stubby to not bother doing anything with a Husq 340 just because it was cheap, I failed the weakness test and got hold of an 034 because it was 'really' cheap and didn't 'look' in bad nick at all. Was hoping it'd be a shot fuel line or similar. It's a piston scored on the exhaust side only, and a small amount of transfer inside the cylinder (to my eyes anyway, I had never seen inside one until I looked at this one)... plan is to put an aftermarket cylinder and piston on it, and possibly the crankshaft oil seals since they come with the kit, and see how it goes. If I learn something about chainsaws and engines as a result I'll be happy...

If it's anything like the Welsh version check what paperwork you need, I had to have health and safety plans, haulier questionnaires, first aid training and forestry works manager training just to buy roadside and still failed on some minor things so I I've stopped trying because it's too geared towards the massive buyers. In terms of bids I would put £55 for softwood and £80 for hard but you never know who could put £90 or £100 in these days.

Hi I thought I would ask you guys first I am looking for some internal t and g cladding nice and dry it doesnt have to be the best as most of it will not be seen ,I am converting and old horsebox to a living van so with cupboards etc most of it will not be seen it will hold the insulation in ,I just dont have time to cut and dry it myself ,can any of you help . Many Thanks. Mark

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to ask. I’m looking into buying large amounts of timber from Forestry England. Well large for me circa 500 tonne. They use an auction type way of selling. As I’m new to this and only bought from suppliers before, I’ve literally no idea what price per tonne to bid. They don’t seem to be the same as other auctions where you can see the current bid. It seem more of a ‘sealed bid’ type of affair. any advice or guidance re prices for softwood and hardwood at roadside. Tia.

My neighbour cut down a couple of trees growing close to our fence last week as well as killed off a rampant Clematis that was smothering the trees surrounding. It has opened up our garden nicely, but has left a cherry tree somewhat exposed as a very tall, slender tree (with a tangled mess of dying Clematis!). You can see the tree in the photos (I've drawn around the outline of the tree to show the current shape and size). It's grown pretty rapidly in the past 3 years but mostly upwards as it has always been exposed to the North and East, but sheltered from the South and West by the trees growing behind the fence. I'd prefer to have it about half it's current height but don't want it to grow outwards too much over the lawn and flowerbeds. I'm guessing it will always tend to grow more towards the South and West to fill in that gap a bit more. Any advice on how to tackle this much appreciated. Happy to take more close-up pics to show where the main trunks/limbs are if that would help
