That your best effort Anus 😂😂 Somewhat silent on the ex serving officers opinion as opposed to your Guardian article I see. I’ve told you put the homophobia jibe on the list of libtard accusations if it makes you feel morally superior.

morning chaps, I've been taking a few days of. weather around 16 degrees and pleasant.

Having gone through this a couple of years ago, then without a medical its no more 7.5 tonnes or small PSV but OK for a Landrover and 3.5 ton trailer. Not driven a 7.5 tonner for maybe 30 years so no loss, did occasionally drive 17 seat minibus but the organisation that ran them has a 69 max driving age, so again no problem. A

Hi, bit of a long shot I’m after, ideally two of the old industrial wheels and tyres used on early Ifor williams trailers. Tyres are 225/75 R 10 XZR Fits a 5 stud 23x9 R 10 Rim. Used on DP and LM trailers. See image attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Pt 2, John drives the "Rapid Transit", So I have this RS 3.1 transit and I'm getting a fair bit of work, bit of felling, bit of landscaping, turf,tarmac, kerbstones, and John is almost always up for a bit of extra cash, so we getting a few recommendation jobs, you know the sort of thing, do a nice job in an area and get a few people inquire if you can give them a quote for whatever they want doing, so John has the gift of the gab and gets a good few jobs, people are always at ease with him, despite his huge frame and ability to pick up two club brawlers one in each hand by their belts and carry them outside, he can be quiet,polite, reassuring,and of course not forgetting the massive sense of humor. Well he's got us this "small job" which according to him we can complete in an evening, all we need is the transit, a decent mower or flail, and all we have to do is clear this "small" bit of ground from a bit of rough grass and cart it away on the truck,, sounds simple enough eh? so I hook up the trailer, load up the ride on and off we go, 15 miles and we are soon there, I'm looking at a group of small houses scattered around,"which one is it John?" "none of these, it's round the back, follow me," and with that he's off on the ride on, so we go down this overgrown lane by the side of one of the nearby houses and there it is,,,, the "small" job,, all 5 fecking acres of it! its knee high grass, thistles, small seedlings, and as everyone had dumped all their garden waste on it huge patches of various flowers and stuff which had self seeded or taken root including this massive Buddleja bush. "we ain't gonna get this done in five minutes John", "we'll be ok, you cut I'll load, and we can swap over in a while" "better get cracking then" and with that I set the mower to cut and blow it out the side, this we had soon found was the best way as with the grass box on you went 5 yards and it was jammed, it didn't take long before the transit was full and bulging, "now what we gonna do, if we gotta keep driving to the yard to dump the loads I'm gonna be needing to fuel up, the job will end up costing us money" "I know a place not far away, I'll take it" "ok but take it easy, you know that truck can get a bit squirrely on the back end". I watch as the transit almost covered in grass, foliage and semi wild flowers disappears from view, and continue cutting, literally 5 minutes passes and John's back,, the truck is empty. "feck me that was quick John" "yeah well it wasn't far" and he's loading it up again,, soon as it's full he's off again. so after about the 5th load, I said, " you wanna have a go on the mower John?" "no I'm good, I like driving the truck" "well ok if your sure" and we continue, It's now 9.30 at night, light is fading fast but we can see the end in sight, "one more load ought to do it John," and it did, just, John off to unload the last load, I drive the mower onto the trailer and chuck the remaining rubbish on with it. while I'm loading up the tools, fuel cans etc, the lady and her husband arrive on scene, "oh my, doesn't it look different, so much better, and bigger too. I'm glad you're pleased with the result. yes thank you and the husband hands me the envelope. John arrives and after a brief chat we decide we better get going as we gotta get back to yard and put it all away. as we leave I say to John is their room for the last bit on the trailer at your dumping spot? "no it's full now" "ok we'll just take it home and sort it in the morning", I said. we get home drop the trailer, and there's just enough time for a quick one at the local. half way through his second pint, John announces,"that truck don't hang about does it" "yeah, pretty rapid ain't it, where did you dump all those loads by the way, you didn't take long" John lowers his voice, "just off the bypass" he whispers, "what bypass?" "the one their building" "but it's not open yet" "I know, I moved the barriers and dropped one side down then drove down the new bit of road, all the grass and stuff blew off onto the side, and then I kept doing that along the whole length both sides,,, I had to go a bit fast" "how fast John?" "don't know speedo only goes up to 90mph" In the following spring, the new bypass opened, and everyone said how lovely the verges looked with all the flowers that "the council" had planted, especially the intermittent Buddleja bushes.

I think the Woodmizers are probably more expensive that the Trakmets at the minute, my first one was pre brexit so no tax implications and a good price, super well built etc, since then I’d say price has gone up and quality down as they have got bigger as a company. That’s only an observation or my opinion and in no way are they not well put together it’s just a few finer details and looking at welds etc you see a few differences. My current machine is set up to cut up to 1.2m diameter and 1.1m between the rollers so not as fast as a woodmizer LT 70 for example but it’s what it was specced up for. I’ve seen Woodmizers being used but never had an opportunity to compare the two. I think there’s an old thread in here about them, Big J in particular has used both. Roughly at min I’d say LT70 wide is around £65-70k petrol kubota Trakmet TTP 600 Wide £50-55k plus generator.

Whenever I come across old tree trunks, I see potential—not waste. I've repurposed them into rustic benches, planter bases, even carved stools. If the wood’s solid, turning it into slabs or milling for live-edge furniture is a great option. Otherwise, letting them decay naturally supports habitat and fungi. It really depends on species, condition, and your tools or vision.

Found this abandoned pet in the shallow brook that runs along the edge of Gloucester Park last month. Not the frequently seen UK feral Red-eared terrapin or the very closely related (sub species) Yellow-bellied slider, this is an Eastern Musk or Stinkpot turtle. It wouldn’t have survived through the winter where it was, so it resided with me for a week until collection by a rescue centre in Kent which specialises in reptiles. Stinkpot turtles are smaller, have shorter legs and more highly domed shells than Red-ears/YBS and judging by observations, are generally much more secretive and timid too. EG It never climbed out to bask on the rocks I provisioned for it. The common names allude to the species’ defensive strategy of emitting an unpleasant odour when alarmed. Thankfully, I didn’t experience this first hand. Presumably because, being used to handling as a former pet, the animal’s disposition was pretty chilled.😎

sweet. i sent the same pic to the dealer and they said the same. thank you.

Sure Just like,well....practically everywhere else on the planet. Sound system it is too,keeps the bludgers out. I have never had recourse to public funds in any of the four countries I needed a work visa for.

When got quotes for timber prices last winter they were that high I don't think it's viable to buy it in personally unless you don't value your time or can sell it for a lot more than I'm able to.

Working in Germany I found plenty of bullets. The Armour piercing ones,ruin your chain.Berlin there were roof tile chunks in most of the old trees. Once in Bergen by the Docks , I felled a tree full of shrapnel. When we were working on lowering the stump and cutting around the splinter a German guy asked what we were doing. As the chunk finally came out I gave it to him,he was over the moon. Considering the effort his fore fathers had gone to in order to get that bit of metal to Norway in the first place.

Dunno about the solar panel thing. The only experience I have of solar panels is that my parents had it fitted years ago and they hardy get any money back from it. Its broken a couple of times and each time it seems to cost a grand to sort it out which wipes out any savings that they have made over the previous years. They are old and probably being fleeced but that's not my problem
