I'd tend to agree with that, a cheap supermarket sticking plaster to try to fix a problem (falls off after 5 minutes), far better not to create the problem in the first place. I will pick you up on something there: 'Lazy, ill-informed politicians' - is there another type of politician?

How tall are the odd hedge jobs you might get generally? and how tall a ladder are you comfortable using? That's going to help with suggestions I reckon. I'll be in a similar position later in the year - small fruit tree pruning so interested to see what is suggested.

Go on Gareth; Epstein, Trumps best pal, paedophile, convicted of "soliciting a minor (that means: Child) for prostitution", boyfriend of Maxwell who was convicted of conspiracy to traffic children for Epstein, reported, like Saville to have hundreds of victims. How is what Epstein did a grey area: Epstein has been universally acknowledged as a pedo. He raped children. Children aged 11, 12, 13, You are trying to defend him. Explain why. Perhaps your fan club could chip in, explain how Epstein raping children is OK. Trump is equally guilty as any that try to defend Epstein, Trump knew well what he was doing and said.. nothing. He knew Epstein raped children and didn't report this to the police. Why would that be? Mentally not there, unable to see right and wrong perhaps, or perhaps complicit in the crimes too and not wanting to implicate himself.

Problem is the police, they dont understand that a terrorist doesn't have to have a faith in your typical sense , no fixed ideology think axel rudikhana and that other cretin like the one in Leicestershire then the was that twat in Liverpool driving a car through the crowd .. a terrorist can be anyone ,the police fail them by looking for Muhammed ...and it isn't It now gets down played as mental health shit ..then lessons will be learned -why the hunt knows right from wrong .

Good Morning.

@Steve Bullman that’s about 20 minutes from me if you fancy an away trip.

Prestigious is the word I’d use, not unusual, but not the preserve of everyday folk.

What about that 1.1mm 3/8p Stihl full chisel? Easier to sharpen than 1/4p, existing sideplate angle and depth gauges.

Pro comms for us. They have proven a great product and very durable. Widespread is has made it easier when working alongside others

Matty is on the money if you want to run the 14". Drill the bar as otherwise you will have to get chains made up. The stihl 10" needs 57 not 56 dl, the 12" 65 not 64 so I guess you need 73 which isnt available off the shelf, 57 and 65 are.Or do as Mark said and put a 10" on with a 57dl chain. Also as Matty mentioned make sure you have the 1/4" sprocket on your saw.

I don’t think this is the site for you

I’d stick them on Facebook marketplace at £20 each and see if you get a bite.

Just seeing if there's anyone interested in a couple of used exerter charcoal retorts, would be buyers welcome to come and see them working .

I use software from Otiss/Pear Technology. It's about £360/year. Helpful support staff. I would do some practice surveys first and get the hang of using it. There are a lot of options re what you record. Then there is the facility to download as pdf files or Excel. I find the Excel a bit of a pain as not too familiar with setting out. Also with such a large acreage, you will have to see what sizes to divide the site up for your online maps. It's a very big site for beginning out on, so definitely do a few practices in a park or small woodland.

Scared of a worm. Poof. Aim for it. Show it who’s boss. I picked an apple up from a mate’s garden the other day. Had an obvious wormhole. No hesitation. No surrender. Straight into the arsehole end of it and ate everything bar the stalk. I like to think I made some sort of point there.

They may not be a husky dealer and have to pay top price for parts but even then its extreme. Did you do anything with the saw or is it still in a box in bits? Seems a waste if it is.

That looked good but it seems that you cant get them in the UK anymore. The start system on the br800 is to say the least a complicated setup! Ive only had two in for repair, one was was because the customer thought it was a four stroke and put neat petrol in it. The other was a starter issue. The starter was jamming open, I couldnt see any issue apart from a clean and grease and it seems to be working OK up to now.

As a sort of quick leak test I use brake cleaner fitted with a d40 smart straw (this thing WD-40 Smart Straw 450ml | Toolstation WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM All the benefits of the original WD-40 formula, but with a Smart Straw for precision application. Simply flip the straw up for a narrow stream or fold it down for a regular wide spray... and spray it around the intake boot impulse pipe area. You only need to spray a little, if there is a leak the engine will die. You have to make sure none of the spray is going into the carb, although with a little care you can use it to detect carb leaks. The wd40 will probably act the same as brake cleaner but I use a lot of brake cleaner and I fit them with that straw. Hmmm, maybe I should make some arb saw cleaner, smart straw plus brake cleaner. Yours for only £75.95 a can. Or buy two for £151.90 Bargain.

Its been a long time since I've climbed but that certainly brought back memories! Most of my interactions were killing the thing but sometimes it was just a deadwood and a reduction so not all bad.

Check the wiring first and of course the off switch, if something is shorting out it will stop the spark. Its about £10 for the wiring harness and £100 for the coil. If the rest of the machine is in good condition, loads of compression, no scores on the piston then its definitely worth fixing imo.
