  1. Past hour
  2. Yep. Good rinse, hot then blow out to hopefully get it as dry as possible as quickly as possible. Further drying on least hot bit of stovetop (radiator for you plebs with central heating). WD40 and blow out. Wipe off. I know there are better lubricants than WD40 but a biner doesn't need to be super well lubed. Plus you get the water displacement, which you want. I can't imagine life without an airline. I'm about to clean some saws and then the kitchen floor while I'm at it. Dig it out, treat yourself.
  3. Today
  4. 100% 👍👍
  5. maybe eggs reputation precedes him
  6. Park pruner was the make stanton hope did. As above HBM are the same. You can replace threads but take some getting apart of old, we have just cut end out in the passed.
  7. Anywhere near a road?
  8. I do indeed 😄
  9. Do you give a discount for taking away the wood and branches? I know how much you get selling them to B&Q
  10. Well there's obviously some correlation between tree size and root spread, so in theory yes - but there'll still be roots in the lawn, unlikely to do anything structural though. People seem to worry about roots much more than the actual problems they cause.

  12. James. Why would anyone deliver to you free logs ? It costs in fuel to get to you. The firewood guys pay for good clean wood. The bio-mass guys pay for off cuts. Only the tip charges for disposal of brash ridden branches and scrub. Where is the advantage in dropping off logs to you ? If I could dispose of a 20 x 3.5m Leylandi hedge would you be happy with that ?
  13. Put a picture up please. Guns with a story are much more interesting. I have one that I bought years ago from the son of the first owner,who after surviving WW1 died a few weeks after coming home by falling off a horse.
  14. A broader sweep of the trees (picture wise) might help.
  15. Mark have you read some of the stuff that’s being posted in the Potus thread ffs radicalised, who me😂😂you kidding me. Now as for some others here they might very well find themselves on a secret service watch list the quantity and content of the posts they put up🤔. You got a daughter or kids mark ?? I’m not sure if you have or not, but put it to any of your friends who have a daughter in the same way and use the same language and insinuations that SP has done on more than one occasion and see how they react. Im no angel Mark, far from it, and will absolutely fight my corner but there is 100% a line I won’t cross. As another said, he should be ashamed. As I said thanks for your “concern” but the biggest run in I’ve had with the law since 1990 is 3 points for speeding ( in an HGV ) on the A1 at Berwick that year.
  16. Yesterday
  17. Good man, I respect him all the more for it. Wish him well from me.
  18. I agree with that. You will probably struggle to get permission due to health and safety etc. No one is really going to grant permission to go and climb as they would get sued to death if something bad happened. I did a bit of rec climbing in the local woods while training in college, just make sure you have someone to spot you at the very least.
  19. I was never into his music but he was a funny fcker and a right bit of a character. RIP
  20. Did it earlier
  21. And now a little song sung by my old next door neighbor.
  22. dvla have always been problematic,you could phone on ten successive days, ask the exact same question and get a different answer each time. I recall one instance when you had to surrender the old tax disc to got a refund for the remaining duty, they asked for "recorded delivery" with a signature upon receipt, which I duly complied with,over a month passes and I have yet to receive my refund, so I phone them, 3,1/2 days later somebody actually answered the phone and informed it was lost? "But you signed for it, so it wasn't lost in post at all was it,?" a brief silence ensued,, she then said,, "no it was lost internally" "Ok, what happens now?" "no disc, no refund I'm afraid" wankers!! now they have a different scheme whereby the tax cannot be transferred with change of ownership of the vehicle. and the present owner gets back any full remaining months duty, and the new owner has to tax from the beginning of the month he wishes to use the vehicle from, the current month has been paid for already by the previous owner, but if new owner needs to use the vehicle immediately he has to backdate it to the beginning of the already paid for month. and your refund is calculated from the date they deal with it, so if they "lose it" that's never. I told dvla long ago ,I usually like being kissed when I'm getting fecked.
  23. Subcontract climber wanted for sectional dismantle of a Scott’s pine - one days hire. DE7 area. Can be cut, drop and leave and I’ll sort the rest. or bring a chipper and get paid for it.
  24. I’m glad the uk never went that far.
  25. Last week
  26. Their system is a lot more regulated compared to the UK in my experience, if you subcontract work from another company they may not v=be able to pay you without the right tax documentation
