  1. "feckin' classic"
  2. I was at a party last night, just at the bar waiting to be served and a woman came over and introduced herself. 'Hello, I'm Carmen'. 'Nice to meet you, Carmen that's a beautiful name, is it a family name?' 'No, I gave it to myself from my favourite things in life, cars and men, what's your name?' She asked I thought a while and answered 'B.J.Titsnfishing'
  3. Storm Floris has stopped more boats in twenty four hours than Starmer has in twelve months!
  4. Nobody has been brave enough to ask!
  5. well done sir, and the very best of luck to you.
  6. seems quite a common and not unexpected result, on more than one forum. didn't your "instincts" tell you you cant just claim disused railway lines, or using waste motor oil as chain lube was a seriously bad practice? not to mention the Himalayan Balsam which seems to change it's name with every post. but please continue, it's quite entertaining, and who knows what you might come up with next. The Dim Wits Member Mixed Farmer Aug 7, 2025 #16 I dont think there is much more to say hear really
  7. "waste engine oil",,, somehow I knew that was coming.
  8. well serves him right for leaving it in for seven feckin' hours. feckin' smug twat!
  9. not connected to chainsaws but relative to things revolving and going wrong, at Santa pod in the mid 70's I had the pleasure of having a sit down with Don "Big Daddy" Garlits who told me of the famous flywheel explosion that severed part of his leg, as a young petrolhead trying to build cars faster and faster on a budget that wouldn't buy a decent set of tires for any car he had, I was running an aluminium bellhousing, his rather graphic tale convinced me to run a purpose built scatter shield, built by the late Alan "bootsie" Herridge and about ten or more years later I had a flywheel detonate around the 125mph mark during a "street race" the damage completely disintegrated the flywheel,clutch,pressure plate,and even the input shaft on the box, but that shield contained it all. the moral of the story, never trust any spinning mechanism without the appropriate protective covers, you might get away with it more than once when it goes south, but that one time you don't might be catastrophic, take a look at the photo of the Garlits explosion. this was before you sat with the motor behind you, you literally straddled the transmission and prayed it held together. these days the structural integrity of these machines is off the scale compared to those early days.
  10. I too wasn't aware of any 12 year old girls,can anybody confirm that, other than hearsay or supposition, and for the record, I don't really give a feck if people went to the island for sex, or if the worlds richest pimp procured girls for sex with leading figures for political, monetary or any other reason, if the girls were aware of why they were there,[and I suspect in most cases they did, without doubt] "play stupid games,, win stupid prizes", but if they were raped, or made to do anything against their will then that changes things,and especially if they were underage then those knowingly involved should be brought to account, no matter who they are, and the world should be told, who fecking cares if their reputation is destroyed, not me,and plenty ofothers I'll wager. but it appears some people think if they say it often enough they can convince others that Trump is up to his neck in it, he may well as many others have visited Epsteins island, maybe he even got laid there, maybe not, who knows for certain,well maybe Epstein did, but he's dead, maybe Ghislaine Maxwell does, maybe not, but sure as feck a bloke on an arborist forum can't be certain either, unless of course he's involved in it too. which is a bit far fetched to say the least.
  11. I like it, ,,,a lot, I have used one in the past, not identical to yours but it was a genuine husqvarna too, do you intend to put her to work? I'm rebuilding a Stihl 090 currently and really looking forwards to getting it in some wood.
  12. Anybody interested in the phenomenon that is Donald Trump might be interested in this read, I expect those both for and those who aren't fans will no doubt find something of interest, especially the references to politicians a little closer to home. The meaning of Donald Trump: a Marxist analysis MARXIST.COM Marxist website defending the ideas of Marxism as a tool for workers and youth...
  13. grouping criminals and fentanyl and tranq users together with homeless vets is a pretty low stunt, even more so just to yet again have a dig at Trump. this is an example of fentanyl/tranq "zombies" I wouldn't wanna see them around my part of the world either.
  14. too much indian bolswick in the oil pump? is it your saw, or one you saw in somebodies shed and decided to claim it as they haven't used it for a while.
  15. 4 pages,,, and then this! feckin' priceless.
  16. I would love to do something like these beautiful tables, but alas my cottage is very small, and a smaller one would not have the impact or be able to show the natural features of the slab to as good an affect. but they are all great examples.
  17. I became curious , not just in this particular instance, but others that have been posted lately, so I found this,, Just a moment... QUILLBOT.COM apart from the rather obvious clue in the name of the site, it also has a facility in addition to judging whether ai is present, a means of making an ai post or question, more human like. which kinda defeats it's own purpose somewhat.
  18. That's the way Stubby, lure them in with the chance of an easy victory,,,, then unleash hell. no point getting older if ya don't get wiser.
  19. @Stubby please tick the squares with indian bolswick to prove you're not a robot.
