  1. Past hour
  2. ok, how 'bout this'n then.
  3. Something thats been on my mind… That ad for Nationwide, where the rich banker takes a call from his spoilt little bitch of a daughter in Antibes asking for money to fly home.. Then the Romesh Ranganathan lookalike tells him it’s not a scam etc. The last ad in the séries showed her gloating about her mother (his ex wife) getting reamed out by her yoga teacher, basically calling her real dad (and his employer) breadheads, you know the one. Anyway, let the ungrateful bitch hitch home, or pick grapes to earn enough for a coach back across the Channel.
  4. Just ringing up craploads of willow for family today, for a solid 5 hours of work, between moving it and all that, only 4 tanks through the 462. Must be a 25" bar working it's magic😂

    Hi Pat, Is there a number or email I can contact you on?
  6. Erm, think you might be reading someone else's experience, not saying I don't like flails for the job they can do or the relatively low damages from it eating things. Low hp tractors such as the op are definitely topper type, without it becoming tediously slow. I will be going back to a topper with a smaller fergy tractor, my 80+ hp with a 2m flail on ground that makes a goat clench when you're 14ft off the floor doing overgrown scrub is boring. Trying to get back to managed pastures, flying around after a bit of sheep grazing.
  7. Today
  8. Ok fair enough, good to know.
  9. Bit long winded but it does cover the whole farcical event.
  10. As they say in Crypto. HODL.
  11. Enough, Herr Bolam. For you, ze war is over.
  12. Yesterday

    Mast

    Perceived wisdom is that having a super abundance of seeds one year and then a dearth of seed for a few years is so that species that feed on the seeds die down in the years of famine and then cannot expand their populations in the mast year fast enough to consume all of the glut, so some seeds are left to germinate as the next generation. If you have more frequent mast years as the climate conditions change then the predator populations increase. Having avoided the death bed by not smoking I wonder what cravings are left. I seem to have lost the ability to intersperse a reply into the original text.
  14. Is this the point at which I tell him he needs a 251, and I just happen to have a lovingly cared for immaculate example, one careful owner? 🤔 If your pockets are deep enough, you can't go wrong with a 261, cracking saw. List price of that is within £10 of a 391, and I know which one I'd rather have.
  15. There's an official guidance document, in the past I've emailed that back, quoted the example wording on the planning portal, and asked them to show me what guidance they are working to so I can submit something acceptable if what I put in is wrong. Application validated.
  16. Good bit of kit, petrol power option. Zero hands on the return, better than one hand, stop height set on rod at the back.
  17. @Iain Hickinbottom Also in the context future safety. I'd be wary of advertising your mobile number on a public forum like this. You never know who's looking, and there's ways of tracing numbers to addresses in some cases I think. Better to just get people to PM you instead. Best of luck with the recovery.
  18. I was in Canada in 1995 watching the Ryder cup on American TV. Europe won, and what I remember was how terrible the American commentators were about Europe's win.
  19. Patricia Crowther, aged 97. The UK's oldest witch. 'UK's oldest witch' Patricia Crowther dies aged 97 WWW.BBC.CO.UK She created the BBC Radio Sheffield show "A Spell of Witchcraft" about Wicca paganism in the 1950s.
  20. one I planted as an acorn
  21. Does anyone know if there's a way of setting up the Sthil Pro-Com units, if you won't (or rather, refuse to have ) a Google/Apple account, on your phone or computer ? I really want to buy some sets, for over a year now, but just don't want my data 'shared' with all those anonymous tech 'partners'.. 🙄
