  1. Past hour
  2. Wife did it in three as well, bloody fuming’ I am!
  3. Today
  4. And as to hedgehogs-which struggle of course-leaving aside the road carnage.I know of only 2 animals that are effective killers-tho there are possibly more.A terrier will watch and wait,as soon as the wee creature eventually re-opens its body,they pounce,again and again etc.The best killer tho is the badger,I work at a property with a huge network of setts,its fairly routine to walk the woodland paths and find hedgehog skins inverted and tossed aside like discarded banana skins.Whilst I'm not into the lets kill badgers coz of tb gig,They are like us-opportunists/omnivores.Curlew /pheasant/duck nests-all eggs gone.Really big lamb bodies in the woods completely beheaded-they just take the Brains-best bit.They dont mess about!
  5. Yesterday

  9. From what I've seen-all good stuff.My' unde the radar' stuff.Band-The national,album,'the first 2 pages of Frankenstein', particularly the alcott/Alien/your mind is not your friend.
  10. Mein Gott! This is like masterchef on steroids.Call me a lowlife,But homemade coronation chicken does for me-sniff!
  11. I agree,there does seem to be a bit of sniffiness about rotatech chains,in my experience -its absolutely fine.Bloody hell,its getting to the stage where occasionall users just 'dump'their chains when blunt!Tiz wasteful tho,when you get say,10 odd resharpens out of a chain? If I MUST put 25" chains thru 20 plus big tree stumps,I feel far happier using cheaper chains. Heck, I'm telling porkies (again),the performance kit was 1 bar,1 rim sprocket and 3 chains-I forgot,they were such good value,I bought 2,1@£80 then 1@£60-it seemed silly not to at those prices.But perhaps the interesting point that EVEN on a 16" bar the unspoken admission from Stihl was that the the torquey ms261 could be better.The gauge was still 1.3mm but the bars were q.narrow nosed and light,the chains were picco super rapid,so fairly aggressive with a pitch of 3/8 l.p.,with I think,a lower tooth number than the usual setup.So I think that qualifies as a gentle semi-skip setup to maximise performance? 🤔

    What has been changed to your knowledge. Providing the rpm doesn't drop, the hydraulic system is independent. So work your way through the simple things 🙂

    Topical

    Are there any reports from outside the twitterverse yet? I think every few years there's a sudden celebrity death that gets cycled around on twitter before turning out to be completely false. I wonder if Prince Willy will become William V when the time comes, or if he'll take the opportunity to be King Arthur...
  17. As an afterthought-olearia will 'flower',but if you are familiar with the horror that is ragwort-you will get a hedge with a horrid white flower akin to ragwort.If you want a coastal flowering hedge with (generally)coastal hardiness-go escallonia Macrantha-quick growing too and 'proper' flowers.
  18. If you reshape it , heat it with the oxy torch very localised to the 'mushroomed' area. Introducing any colours that spread could do more harm than good. Quenching after heat will harden it but its a striking tool so you will want to temper it as well. Probably 2-3 cycles of tempering. If you dont know what colours you are looking for at the quenching stage take it to non magnetic and you will be in the ball park. Personally I would just leave the deformation, if its on the original handle still, the head is part of the story / history of it.
  19. Explain the point please .....
  20. Where abouts in the country are you? Someone might know a dealer who has a hire/demo machine you can try before you buy
  21. I’ve wee job this morning in the sun and no chipping ivy either! IMG_5648.mp4
  22. I think the main attraction for some would be there is very little graft. I regularly see 2 or 3 Council tipper/chipper teams standing looking at a tree. They mess around for a half day with a MEWP, not much achieved, then move on. It's the usual roadworker situation of 6 men watching, 1 man working! I'm sure someone here will tell me otherwise but that is certainly the case here. I would speak to the LA regarding job opportunities, I bet they don't come up very often as no one leaves!
