  1. I looked at that video, I'm wondering if that aluminium handle can be welded, I've seen some miraculous repairs with specialist ally welders, in some cases you would be hard pressed to tell it was ever broken.
  2. Has anyone use POR15 to seal an aluminium fuel tank? did it work?
  3. us old feckers like me and Stubby will be long gone, but some of you young'ns are gonna have to live in that hell. dinners for those poor sods left might have to be what you can scavenge or steal. all these fools that think government,,, any government, is going to halt this is deluded. Society is fecked. we are fortunate, we can look back and consider the good times we have had, and maybe lament a few regrets too, but for some there will be less to look back upon with such a pleasant memory. I realised at the age of 10 I was never gonna change this world,, so I concentrated on not allowing it to change me. those close to me know that to be accurate.
  4. One of my favorites too.
  5. ya'll keep feckin' whining about Brexit, and world events, and nhs, and boats, ad infinitum labor, Tories ,reform, who's to blame,, he said, she said , but the simple fact is this country has been ****************t for decades, every government has all the feckin' answers, and decries everything anyone else is doing or whining about about what they ain't doing, but come election time the same old bullshite gets everyone thinking it's all gonna change this time, but it doesn't,, mainly because nobody is held accountable, in many countries you aren't liked enough, some nutjob or patsy will end you. feck me some counties will shoot the goalkeeper of their football team for letting too many goals in the net, this country,you ****************up you get a feckin' nighthood , or a cushy seat in the house of lords. you get caught at your place of work asleep, of shagging the secretary,partying, or fiddling the expenses, or minors, it's a feckin' joke, watching these feckin' clowns in government is like a cheap end of the pier circus show, jeering and trying to get one up on the opponent from the other side of the house. While the country goes further and further down the shitter. everyone at each other over immigration, of course there's people from all over the world wanna come here, were all too feckin' dumb to sort the good from the bad. too scared to point anything out as it results in a few twats who think they can shut you down with cries and bleats of "racist" and "fascist" and a whole range of labels. I'm too old to care about when the cack finally hits the rotors, and it will, I'll thankfully be ash by that time. in the meantime if any fool thinks writing a feckin' letter to a bunch of clowns who couldn't care less about you, or even aware of your existence is gonna change anything,, go ahead knock yer sen out.
  6. Betta remember that in future.
  7. I had a quick look at a few pics of a 2095, and a bit of research I discovered the rear handle was unique to the 2095 and some 2094,s but only certain years are interchangeable, you may of course already be aware of this, there's a few boxes of Jonsereds parts on ebay but alas no 2095/4, I have a standing search notification in place on ebay I've included Jonsereds 2095, I'll let you know if anything turns up, have you got a picture or two of the saw.
  8. You have made me want to try to fit new handles on a couple of old axe heads myself, what could possibly go wrong.
  9. nobody is questioning the origins,definitions or meaning of idioms, what is in question is your interpretation of somebody else's post. I'll tell you what lets agree to disagree 'cos someone is talking about saws in another post and I'm more interested in that. night.
  10. The Restaurant tale, pt 2. So we arrive at this restaurant and get our table, get a few beers, and after the young waitress hands us the menus decide what to have, it all looked good, the usual steaks of various sizes and cuts, various chicken dishes, and some nice looking fish too as we had seen a couple eating that when we made our way to the table, so young attractive waitress is now ready and one by one we order, we are having a fair selection from the menu, there's 9 of us, with 3 more expected, John as usual has the biggest steak possible, and everything that comes as an option with it, she's writing all down and rather nervously says its only her 2nd day working there, we assure her everything is fine and off she goes to the kitchen, so one by one our food starts to arrive and it all looks great, John hasn't got his yet and we kid him up, "cant find a plate big enough John" but eventually she brings it over,,, it's not what he ordered, "what's that" he asks, young girl looked petrified,, "im sorry I think I got it wrong" "but you wrote it down, how can it be wrong" asks John. the poor girl gets the order from the kitchen, and sure enough she wrote it correctly, "so it's the chefs fault" says John, the waitress now looks like shes about to burst into tears and head for the door never to be seen again, John big as he was has a soft spot for the ladies, he sees this is stressing her out and quickly says, "its fine really, it looks very good, I'll eat this instead", the look of relief was apparent and she apologized and graciously went about her duties, so we all tuck in and it's soon forgotten, so John having ate the somewhat smaller plate is now keen to order pudding, gets waitresses attention and her she comes clearing plates and leaving us the sweet/pudding menu to browse through, she soon returns, some have made their minds up already and shes once again frantically writing it all down, she looks at John,she asks "what would you like sir"? "I would like a large portion of home made apple pie with two scoops of ice cream please, so what have I got to ask for to get that?" and gave her a wink. It was a good night, only time I've known a lock in in a restaurant.
  11. I did exactly the same, It seems pretty good oil, I also had a chainsaw given to me that had been using some kind of biodegradable oil, but stored for some time , the chain was stuck to the bar like it was welded to it,reminded me of mod cosmoline that had been therefor decades, I soaked it in carb/brake cleaner but that evaporated before it did anything, so I boiled it in an old saucepan, that did the trick, its now on the varchain 150 and so far so good.
  12. something tells me that, all of the above statement is really clutching at straws. or to put it another way there is indeed more than one chip on a shoulder.
  13. one way of getting rid of rachel from accounts,, marry her off,.but ffs don't trust her with the bloody housekeeping.
  14. and you would be wrong,, again.
  15. looked like cgi to me , impress your friends??? shouldn't you be hanging around with people your own age.
  16. sorry but not at present, but people are always offering me saws and boxes of bits and pieces, I'll let you know if anything turns up, was it anything in particular you were after?
  17. a chip on the shoulder is an idiom. a chip on each or both shoulders is not.
  18. my plug cover is missing, and a ms90f is on my list. along with a b100, and quite a few others too.
  19. I bought an old husqvarna 2100 that had blown the stock can apart, I read online a stihl 090 ally can was easily modified to fit and helped performance on the 2100,s so I bought a couple, successfully fitted on the 2100, I then found the a100 and the original can was present but in a really bad state, I intend to rebuild it but wanted to run the saw, so I fitted the other 090 can on that, it runs very well with it. I have now ordered a few more 090 cans as they are very adaptable to many of the larger saws.
