  1. Past hour
  2. the arrogance of Banksy to caricature the judge as cruel oppressor, when the judge is only trying to prevent the protesters from rewarding terrorists and rapists
  3. You’ve tagged the wrong Steven. I was going to use this one instead of the dog sketch but the crop wouldn’t work with the little circle. Climbing at the Roaches circa 2005.
  4. Falsetto loveliness. They do seem to get unfairly overlooked.
  5. Today
  6. Mmmm . Seems not .
  7. Interesting dynamic occurring around my bird table . A few days ago I noticed a wood pigeon and a collared dove scrapping . They would fly at each other trying to gain poll position at the table . After about two days it seems the smaller collared dove has come out on top . They sit a few inches apart on the fence and the woody now waits until the dove has finished before having its turn . Never come across this before . Anyone else ?
  8. Well done. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I use a bit more two stroke oil in aftermarket pistons and cylinders, especially the first tank.

    Ladders

    First proper use of ladder. I like it, very stable. It fits well on the roof rack, rungs are perfectly spaced. It'll extend two steps higher.

    DIY Big Shot

    Interesting, something I have thought about doing and I bought a set of excersize bands for it last year - I remember the thick one is something like 60 or 80kg pull strength and would likely launch a throw bag to the moon! I dont know if I'd care for the trigger but its a neat solution. I'll watch the video later. I wouldnt really want to carry an extra steel pole. I wonder if a launcher head could be affixed to my Magnusson pruner pole or to my ladders.

  21. It was cheaper to have wife insured on my truck than just me .

    Top handle saws

    They are a bit dearer but you can get one from Toolstation very similar tool. I got a Chinese one off eBay years ago, it doesn't get a lot of use but it still starts third pull and runs nicely. I have rebuilt the carb a couple of times due to my own fault but it's a simple enough machine to work on.
  24. That is a distinct possibility Stubby, as the fuel tank is totally separate and unless somebody flushed it and replaced the filter shows no sign of any chain oil, same with the carb, but the carb does show signs of removal and cleaning and hadn't been completely refitted. I shall investigate further.
  25. Time Left: 5 days and 18 hours

    • FOR SALE
    • USED

    Just had it repaired/tuned (previously wasn’t quite running right). Recent new chain. Selling because of lack of use due to having newer saws. I’ve always used bio chain oil with this saw which has stripped some of the paint from the body. Collection or can post at buyers cost. For further info etc WhatsApp me on 07748118266

  28. It's the chemistry of biomass. The white wood of a short lived tree serves only to support the crown it has about 1% minerals and the rest is cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, the working parts of the tree like the leaves and bark are more complex and need all the other chemicals to do their job and it is these that need the small amounts of potassium, silicon and other trace minerals that end up in the ash. grasses have high ash content because they do not differentiate into a support system. There was a database (Phyllis) which showed the chemical content of many plants, I haven't looked for it for a few years.
