I hear that the day rate for a sawman here in Ireland can range from 250-350 per day, fuel etc at your own expense. Hard to see any profit in these kind of jobs for sawman or owner.

customers have given me old bottles of port that have been off, only viintage port keeps hopefully these 2 were still drinkable by all the nonces last night After dinner hosted by the King and Queen, guests will be served Warre’s 1945 vintage port, in recognition of Mr Trump’s role as the 45th, as well as the 47th, president of the United States and because it is the closest vintage port year to his birth year.

Indeed, they're in "a pickle". Quite a serious pickle I'd say, and not of their own making. The UN commission of inquiry has laid out in detail it's evidence, referenced to the relevant conventions. Much of it is in the public domain, appears irrefutable and crucially, doesn't eminate from Hamas. I agree, we shouldn't blindly trust what a terrorist organisation says, we shouldn't trust it at all. To suggest that the immense death and destruction that we see/read/hear about every day on the news is Hamas propaganda is misguided. That narrative is in fact just Netanyahu and IDF propaganda. A relevant aside: the commission has previously concluded that Hamas committed war crimes and other grave violations of international law on 07/10/23. The three-member expert panel is made up of a South African, an Australian and an Indian; so no dogs in the fight there. https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session60/advance-version/a-hrc-60-crp-3.pdf I obviously wouldn't expect you to read and digest all of that, but at least consider it. Netanyahu and Trump need to challenge those findings quickly, it's not enough to say it's just another "distorted and false" report, and it's all the fault of Hamas.

Yeah like it is still solid, I might just mill it and see what happens. If its crap the stove can have it then.

Respect is earned. Ricky Hatton spoke out about mental health issues and did what he could to help others. He wasn't some wind up merchant who made his money 'debating' college kids.

What I have used for the last 5 years- really good product

Some brands have three options but not Doosan or bobcat as far as I’m aware. send me a link? reguslr could mean short or long!

To be honest if you have feet that much bigger than sensible, normal sizes, you likely need them made to measure - theres little more irritating than badly fitted boots! These list size 15 as being euro 50, but withna 4 week lead time.and possibly French.

Ok, thank you. I think I get the gist of it. Valiant effort!

Ask the council which team they used and keep it safe for them - council trees are usually done by contractor teams. It would feel awful to loose personal kit just from trying to get a job done, worse than having it stolen if its from rushing and stupidity. The only things I've lost yet are lots of cheap door stop wedges and a sling/carabiner that were pinched by the NTPC trainer. Had my phone returned to me last year, it was only gone a few minutes fell out of pocket. The returner got 20 quid which was all I had on me.

Yup, flipping love it. Could do with a towball but it does the job

I was going to say that's the proper way of recycling it.

A very good friend of mine is a very keen chainsaw expert and enthusiast. I would like to source an Alpina A120 for him and - not knowing much of anything about chainsaws - I have no idea where to start. I’d be very grateful indeed for any help or information on where and how to acquire one. Many thanks. Gavin Acheson.

please post a photo. If you want everything as original spec that's fine, but if you are happy to go off piste, you can make Vermiculte panels fit anywhere. A lot of modern stoves have Vermiculte top baffles as well as the sides. I use trial and error and pieces of cardboard to make a template for the vermiculite.

Morning, Im looking to bulk buy a large quantity of oak milled boards (40+ boards with ongoing supply) with 1 or 2 live edges. They need to be seasoned and between 300-1000mm wide. I'm not worried about length as i'll be cutting them down but ideally over 1m long. Width wants to be 30-40mm thick. Id also purchase any walnut if people have some available. Id be glad to hear from anyone who has timber to offer, or contacts that could help. Photos to give an idea of what i'm looking for.
