  1. I wasn't aware geographical location was relative to whether you shit in your drinking water or not, I was just giving a tip on animal husbandry. In the past I have reared over a thousand chicks, you should be able to look after 2, but we'll see eh?🐔
  2. nipple drinkers are safer. and keep water fresher and free from dirt,and droppings. https://www.amazon.co.uk/0-5Ltr-Chick-Nipple-Drinker/dp/B01N4B0IGA/ref=asc_df_B01N4B0IGA?mcid=a7efff521b2d34eaabf051e6a41e98af&hvocijid=6325667973211974978-B01N4B0IGA-&hvexpln=74&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696285193871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6325667973211974978&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045084&hvtargid=pla-2281435177418&psc=1&gad_source=1
  3. yep,, dissolved in water.
  4. no, It's a Ural polar 6x6 and to go with the big truck, naturally you need a big saw.
  5. I didn't buy it, I pulled the exhaust and there was almost as much shit inside as on the outside, he said it ran better with the air filter removed.I told him to take it away. I'm almost thinking it was a joke played on me by someone who is going to confess next time I see 'em. oh, I forgot to add the punchline,, seeing the state of it I asked "what wood you been cutting, looks like mahogany",, "yeah, some old windows"!!
  6. well it turned up this afternoon, well what a piece of crap! it was probably a decent saw before he got his hands on it! chain is junk,as is the bar,sprocket,chain brake is broken, and the whole thing is encased in baked on oil and sawdust that looks as old as the saw itself, you have to keep it in a bucket there is so much oil leaking from it! I didn't even start it, you can tell the guy wasn't that hot on cleaning or any form of maintenance by the state of the car he arrived in, which broke down yesterday hence the arrival today, and only just started after about 5 minutes of cranking it over when he left,, he seemed quite put out the local dealer had said he didn't really want it as a trade in, but would knock a tenner off a new one. it was obvious why once you saw it.

    Eh!

  8. Oldfeller

    Eh!

    or until they get eaten!
  9. This saw according to the owner starts and runs ok, but struggles in wood, I'm hoping its a dull chain issue. he's not what I would call a heavy user, he want's a smaller saw, I think he's hoping I'll give him enough to buy one,, I'm undecided on it currently, that might change when I see it, one way or other. thanks for the replies so far.
  10. Oldfeller

    Eh!

    woodpigeon feed and roost sociably enough in flocks, but become territorial at nesting time.
  11. YEP, WORD GETS AROUND YOU COLLECT AND RESTORE CHAINSAWS AND YOU GET ASKED OR OFFERED A FEW SAWS, A LOT ARE NOT OF MUCH INTEREST TO ME, CHEAP TING-TONG B+Q RUBBISH,ETC, BUT OCCASIONALLY SOMETHING TURNS UP THAT I COULD BE INTERESTED IN, BEEN OFFERED A HUSQVARNA 357 XP, HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET BUT I'M TOLD IT RUNS GOOD, AND IS IN FAIR CONDITION, I HAVE A FEW HUSQVARNAS, COUPLE OF 65,S,2101,380CD,180S, ECT, ANY OPINIONS ON THE 357XP? GOOD OR BAD? ANY IDEA ON VALUE? HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD A PRICE YET, TIA. bugger, just seen caps is stuck on again, cant be arsed to retype.
  12. Citadel, former military installation, and then a prison.
  13. "have you got a goldfish"? yes or no?
  14. A remembrance of a period in time the french, and others were grateful of our help instead of taking our money and turning their backs on the current invasion of the uk..
  15. Since I have been a member here I have made a couple of clear observations, that,,, [a] There are some wise, knowledgeable,helpful people on here. [b] and there are a few that never had the twat slapped outta them in the school playground, but certainly should have.
  16. Read this thru slowly and try to comprehend the amount of force produced in just under 4 seconds! The last paragraph puts it all into perspective ! There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car…..and that includes any aircraft launched by a catapult from an aircraft carrier. Nothing can compare….. DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION One top fuel dragster 500 cubic inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first 4 rows of stock cars at the Daytona 500. It takes just 15/100ths (0.15) of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower (some believe 8,000 HP is more realistic - there are no dynomometers capable of measuring) of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels. Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 1-1/2 gallons of nitromethane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced. A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to drive the dragster's supercharger. With 3,000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle. At the stoichiometric (stoichiometry: methodology and technology by which quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions are determined) 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture of nitromethane, the flame front temperature measures 7,050 deg F. (Oxy-acetylene on "cut" is 6,300) Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases. Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder. Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during one pass. After halfway, the engine is dieseling from compression, plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1,400 deg F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow. If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half. In order to exceed 300 mph in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4G's. In order to reach 200 mph well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8G's. Dragsters reach over 300 miles per hour before you have completed reading this sentence. The redline is actually quite high at 9,500 rpm. Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew worked for free, and for once NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimate $1,000.00 per second. The current top fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.428 seconds for the quarter mile (11/12/06, Tony Schumacher, at Pomona , CA ). The top speed record is 336.15 mph as measured over the last 66' of the run (05/25/05 Tony Schumacher, at Hebron , OH ). Putting all of this into perspective: You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter 'twin-turbo' powered Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a top fuel dragster is staged and ready to launch down a quarter mile strip as you pass. You have the advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears and blast across the starting line and pass the dragster at an honest 200 mph. The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that instant. The dragster launches and starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums and within 3 seconds, the dragster catches and passes you. He beats you to the finish line, a quarter mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it, from a standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 mph and not only caught, but nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1,320 foot long race course. ...... and that my friend, is ACCELERATION! and this was some time ago, quite possibly even faster now in 2025?

  18. aye, funny I never have any problems in reality, only on the internet, maybe Mike Tyson has a point.
  19. oh dear I made a mistake I should have said a statue "by"an incestuous pedophile, depicting a naked boy and an adult", good job there's a resident thrush to point out the horrendous mistake eh!
