Watching a few more. Very enjoyable. https://fb.watch/EQUlQkbLxT/

A classic corker of a tune 👍

Loads on just this one tree, none on the dead elms around it.

How many people would never tire of punching this cnut in the face? Miliband hits landlords with £10bn net zero upgrade tax UK.NEWS.YAHOO.COM Ed Miliband has launched a £10bn war on landlords that risks driving up rents...

Doh I see now, you cleaned the red paint and put your own handle. So it's probably a more recent one if it is Bulldog. I still like it.

Thanks for the update. That is disappointing, I didn't realise that you needed a specific charger for the 540 battery! I think that I will give stocking that saw a miss. When you are looking at over £2000 just for a couple of batteries, charger and the machine then it is getting a bit silly. As you say those batteries are very heavy, nearly 3kg so you wouldn't want to use them in many other machines. Maybe we should stick to hedge trimmers, top handle battery saws and a small rear handle saws for now until battery tech moves on.

Hi all. I’m looking at a (secure) rear canopy for my d23 Navara and found a company called Apex4wd who do a very nice looking canopy at a decent price. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this company, or even the canopy itself. Would be interested on peoples opinions. cheers

Location would be useful

Good webcam action. Being next to the sea during a storm is one of the most exhilarating things to do I reckon. Mind you they've had it a bit too rough in the left hand corner of the south coast these last couple of days. Storm surge plus high tides has been bad news down there. Teignmouth Pier washes away and sea wall crumbles during Storm Ingrid WWW.BBC.CO.UK Part of a historic pier washes away and a sea wall next to a railway line crumbles as Storm Ingrid lashes Devon and Cornwall. Funny thing is I was right there at new year and the sea was like glass, never seen it so calm and flat.

I believe it’s to keep the boring insects away - not the uninteresting ones, the ones that will damage the timber 😏

Interesting, thank you.

I had a look a while back and would still consider for larger clearance works on a 8t+ excavator but for domestic stuff it doesn’t suit, primarily because you can remove the stumps but chasing lateral roots would be impossible. If it’s going on anything less than perfectly flat ground I feel it would be damaging on an avant or similar carrier over time (lateral stresses). We once thought putting a log splitting cone on a Vermeer would work great, which I feel is the same principle - the reality was it didn’t work and we consistently sheered fixing bolts (we tried free swinging, couldn’t get the weight in the log before it slipped), we were going to eventually damage the arms so scrapped it.

If you want to gamble on new coins before they go mainstream, yes.

Avoid anything caustic - very common in ultrasonic cleaning fluids. It will turn cast alu a nasty black colour.

Another day, another handle.

First thing I've ever won in my life, so will accept any prize😀

Shudders..

You might even find a bear in a tree onsite!

Passed by the management! Several times if they live by the Trent!

😂😂 You need the site mystic

What was the machine? Not just the engine........we price up for a full service, a chassis service or an engine service, so the customer has a choice. Particularly where cylinder mowers are concerned for example, whereby the customer may just want the cylinder and bottom blade ground (which the average joe doesn't have the equipment or skills to do) but the engine may well be fine, so thats a chassis service only. If you're suggesting that cost you quoted was just to service the engine alone without touching the rest of the machine, and assuming it is an annual preventative maintenance service and not an engine with a load of pre existing issues, then that's steep. Aside from changing the service items, We drop the float bowls and drain any fuel, clean the float bowl out and blow through the jets, but unless there is already an issue with the carb, we wouldn't automatically remove it or fit a carb kit as that is pointless if it's running fine. New plug, engine oil and air filter. Plus fuel filter and oil filter (if fitted) are the service parts we would automatically fit. Governor/choke/throttle mechanisms and lubricated and adjusted as well, which a lot don't do. Then you have rope/recoil inspection and clean out etc etc. A lot more than an oil change and a wipe over with an oily rag. And a lot more than your garage does nowadays on modern cars, which are just plug and play, with maybe an oil and filter change thrown it, sure for maybe less money, but they proportionately are actually doing less for them money paid...ask them to do what we do on these small engine, but on your car and watch the size of the bill you get! Had a guy said same to me the other week....'my BMW service was only £10 less than what you've charge for my mower' I said, but what did they do as part of the service? He went and got his bill out the car....they charged him an hours labour of £95 PLUS VAT, plus £45 oil, and £25 for a filter....plus a downloaded plug in health report...that was it, so it really irks me when people come out with that old chestnut. Compare like for like....same labour, same parts etc. Our Labour would be to do that Honda engine service would be around 1.5 hours @ £55 per hour.

American sizing large is that the same as size tent for most other countries?
