Temper Temper.!!!!!!:thumbdown:

my friend had a small old husky and the carb was playing up bad starting etc and set about it after throwing it down the garden with the throttle stuck wide open it landed blade first and dugitself into his lawn at full revs then set about it with a lump hammer after he had finished huffing and puffing etc and bits of chainsaw across the lawn he remarked how better and de stressed and added the saw is fixed for good and wont ever have to fix it again lol

Generally i'm pretty chilled out but occasionally i can lose it. When the ms200t first had carb problems, mine was fairly new and played up and i lobbed it as far as i cold from the top of the mewp.....But the best one must be only a couple of years ago when i had a newly recruited apprentice. The hedgecutters, i sharpened, greased each cutter by hand, cleaned air filter etc etc, showing him all the way...would they start after this? NO, for some reason i just lost it with them, kicking them up n down the road with me steely's. God knows what he thought at the time, he'd only been on a week or 2!!

I occasionally want to get out a tree grab hold of a groundies mobile phone and throw it into the next county, nothing worse than watching the brash pile up whilst ya groundie stands staring at his phone

 

that doesn't count

You've just got to get that phone and launch it

You know you want to.

I had a flail mower for doing a few hours work round the farm and and a couple of flails had been smashed by my dad on another job. It was vibrating and off balance so much it kept jumping off the link arms of the tractor. It took me two hours and a lot of curse words and a bit of screaming to do one 200m pass down a field. I gave up after that. It came off 5 times and was a pain to get back on!

Those groundys mobiles and km 130's!! My older km used to cut out every time you got to the top of a huge set of wobbly steps I ended up throwing it off after it stalled for tfe last tine at the top then came down and smashed it to bits with a hammer.

My mate told me this story that he was having real problems with one of his guys on his mobile all the time, he is driving down the track to the wood yard trying to explain to this lad it is not acceptable to be on your mobile all day he turns around and see he is texting away and says your not listening to a fing word I'm saying are you?? What he replies ??looking up from his phone, He waits for him to start texting a few seconds later stands on the brakes the guy crumples in to the dash... And he asks him to just get out and good bye!!

My old stump grinder broke its drive train and I was on a rush job, so unfortunately I beat the heck out of the nearest thing, my landy door:(
