The webbing and buckles on all of them appears to be the wide sort, I'm wondering if it will get in the way or get caught on things? Better if it were narrow like the normal leather straps? Or is the wide sort, not a problem? I saw this video ages ago but never tried it. It makes good sense, but its not going to work with thick webbing. Just been having a look at Notch and Buckingham's, instead of normal webbing adjusters (goes through and back through, locking on itself) the buckle ones seem to use single hole and velco adjustments?! Sort of defeats the point of the buckle?! Distel does use the webbing adjustment type and velcro, which I think could work, they are the only ones with branded AustriaAlpin Cobra buckles. If I dont want velcro on the lower straps, I'm thinking to make up some with AustriaAlpine Cobra 25mm buckles and webbing. First I have some cheapy amazon "tactical belt" webbing with buckles, I may try that on some spikes just to see how well it works before I decide anything. I'll have a backup rope for that test.. got a suitable tree on Tues to have a play with.

I found a dead sparrowhawk on my land which looked odd but it was soon apparent that it had hit a glass panel surrounding my neighbours decking - probably whilst chasing a small bird down. It had catapulted over the panel and landed up in my garden... There was a definite mark on the panel where it had hit it.

It's getting to the stage where a few of us are starting to struggle a bit with battery life on the ProComs now and while I know Stihl say they aren't replaceable, I'm sure there's someone out there clever enough to prove them wrong without too much effort. I've not found anything when I've searched online but figured there's got to be someone on here that's at least got as far as chopping a knackered set open by now, even if not having managed to make a new battery fit. It would be great if there was a way to bump up the battery capacity at the same time so as not to have to charge them every night (not that I ever forget to, nope, never....)

Have you approached the subject of a pay rise.

Amazing find!

I explained badly, all NPTC tickets. For the rail ones, hedge and brush cutter, we had been using the tools for months so didnt get any training except the new giy got a brief half hour lesson by other staff. I left rail before doing any more. Cs30,31,38,39 were trained by an old guy who called himself an assesor. I wanted to skip the training to just have the assesments thorugh him, as I knew what I was doing, knew how to do the cuts, used chainbrake correctly etc.. He insisted in training and that he couldnt then assess me, so I'd have to wait, he dragged it out over several months...and then he doubled his training cost for cs38 39 and I had to pay it or find someone else which I'd already tried and given up on.. He got somone over from Ireland who apparently assesses other instructors. Well that would explain why the standards are a bit shite then... ..Those that can't, teach...

How did you get on?

Exactly this. For an 'educated' man who has served in the UK armed forces he doesn't understand any personal online security. There are many professions out there where there are hostile actors who would love to get the personal details of any employees to exploit - and ex navy can be counted in that list. Suspect that there are more reasons than "Pissing of JohnsonD" for not divulging each minute detail of a life online for many many people.

We are stewing our windfalls this year, and freezing them, should be OK for the rest of the year. Lost most of our apples last winter with mould and rot, so trying this this year - stewed and frozen in muffin trays - single portions - then bagged and into the freezer - kind of works so far. Still got to pick the rest of the apples.

It's a funny old world, I saw one of these today, it looked to be identical. Like buses they are. It was for sale on a stall. I went back about 30 minutes later to get a photo and it was gone. I asked the bloke and he said it had been snapped up sharpish. Reckoned he sold it for just £15, a real steal for the buyer I reckon. Shows there's a market for such things.

That’s my thoughts exactly-looks like a lot of paint! Think it may be a long dipper too but that’s just another thing. Im leaning towards the Sany, the low hours and age make it pretty appealing. Are they too good to be true? Power/flow rates seem good according to their website but have you used one @doobin?

I use 10 on the tele and the strat. Haven't found the sweet spot on the 335 yet, but have been favouring flat wound 12s.

Decent lie in doing the crossword etc, couple of diy type jobs to be done. Booked a Crete holiday for next August and thinking of what I need to do with trip to old folk in Devon. Truly awful rain storm yesterday evening so didn't get to the Brewshed! Enjoy your Sunday! Warren, Peas.

And the winner is ........ @Rob D It flashes and everything! How'd you do that, is it a gif or something?

Looks half the tractor with small wheels.

Latest project

Probably also shaped the infeed so a bottle of wine or a glass wouldn't stay put, then some clever bugger invented sippy cup with a lanyard!.

So @eggsarascal its been 4 weeks since your story about your friends at Cleethorpes and we've waited patiently for media stories to come out about the bus loads of immigrants but there has been nothing. I think that an explanation is needed or people can think the worst about you.
