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?

Let’s face it, no one with an FAC is going to shoot an owl. Even the most hardened under pressure gamekeeper probably wouldn’t, and certainly not in someone else’s random wood. If it was shot it would be a random cretin with an air rifle. I find that a stretch though. Because of the way owls live, the chances of a sitting shot at one are pretty rare.

Me too, but still happy in them. Read elsewhere they suit people with long legs. I'd agree with Mark, velcro upper (big area so secure, adjustable, padded) and buckle lower is best compromise.

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.

Good advice

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.

WTF? Anyone seen one of those before?

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.

Not today but last wk, fitted a new hydraulic to tractor and finally splashed out on a new timber grab, totally transformed the whole outfit, lifts better and grips logs better, had 4 days extracting with it and loved every minuet of it,,
