Never seen any of them from start to finish. TBH, the genre doesn't light my fire. One "Star" film I did enjoy and found it emotional and thought provoking was about a spaceship that carried plants, trees and stuff from a dead earth. I seem to remember that the humans on board left it with a small robot to care for the plants forevermore!

If Action Man was still popular, the "do gooders" would want it banned as it promoted war or racism or some such!

Good graphics on the Mitz, what will she carry?

I got the XP and it works well enough although it has frozen a couple times restarted itself. Buggered if I can find a good case for it mind - every rack is iphone or samsung!

When I ran Barrowcliffs in the '80s and '90s we had over 60 Stihl bits stolen in a three year period. In the 17/18 years with them, I had to replace100s of stolen things from trucks to workshop tools, generators to strimmers! I reckon I had 10x080 or 880s! Non of it was ever recovered..... In all that time, I only got offered 1 hooky saw and I told him to go before I called the bill. punishment does not fit the crime imo. Not enough effort is made to secure a conviction nor educate people that crime does not pay or is acceptable behaviour. Just my opinion.

Publicly admitting that he allows his woman to have a point of view is inappropriate in a man's forum and is a kick in the nuts! He'll be telling us next that he does the drying up!

Rob!?! That is a terrible joke!

What a damn good idea!

White for me!

We have a policy that any theft is sent as a notification to every GreenMech dealer. They very rarely turn up. One did recently when the new owner took it for repair. His cheap purchase was sent to auction and he lost his money! Please, please, please, check the history and only buy a genuine machine. Buyers feed this trade and, in my opinion, are as low as those who stole it!

Powerline Services (MLJ) Ltd of Shropshire report that their QuadChip was stolen from premises that hey use in the Cirwencester area. This was a slightly non standard machine in that the discharge chute was different from the usual chute. Any news please contact Ben Jones on 01568 612315 or 07790 294301

Dave, can I come and see your porkers and have a chat about it? The other half is in Askham and was thinking about keeping pigs but the attachment issues stopped that idea....

When do you find time to earn your keep Dean? Good luck with it anyhow! Fancy an untidy Bedford 4x4 project next? It has mid mounted winch and Atlas crane...

Not such a perfect day..... bet he is still walking on the wild side! thanks for the good tunes Lou. RIP, best wishes to those who loved you....

I lad I went to school with had a rally imp, awesone little thing, he had that sideways on the Stourbridge ringroad a few times. I thing he was related to a well known lady racer with the surname Stretton! More trivia.

Saloon car racing for me, V8 supercars is brilliant. F1 is too processional now.

Another odd phrase.... "Halfway up, down the next aisle"

Ian had a 1928 and a 150 delivered fairly recently. Sorry to hear this Ian, I'll circulate the numbers on Monday to all GreenMech dealers and ask that they keep an eye open.

Have you checked the serial number with TW? Check chassis for cracks. Remove discharge chute and check alloy fins for their condition. Check suspension units to see if it sits level. Look for uneven tyre wear. Before starting engine, look at the oil cap for milky oil. Check for water leaks in radiator. Check infeed rollers for wear in drive. (Grab roller and rock forwards and backwards). Look for new welding around infeed chute. Check operation of controls for feed and reverse. Check condition of tow hitch and hand brake operation. Use a lever to check for end float on rotor bearings.

Dean! Has the wife gone away and left you ar home alone? If she is still there, she needs to be taught to clean up after you!

You were very lucky Steve, usually, the blade shatters and takes out the shear bars and bearings before exiting the side of the machine!

Jokes about german sausage, they are the wurst.

Some folk on ArbTalk will have met Bryan Alvaston, he was a machinery salesman from Anstey in Leicestershire. He passed away yesterday morning after a short illness. Bryan, although in his 70's, worked for Outdoor Power Tools, the GreenMech dealer, in Leicester and before that, was the Managing Director and salesman for Mitchell's when they existed. Bryan was the kind of sales chap who people brought a wide range of agricultural or groundcare machinery from because "Bryan never sold a pup". Well known in the East Midlands, Bryan started as an Ag fitter and progressed over the years until he headed up Mitchell's, the Massey Ag dealer and they also sold groundcare equipment too. He then went to Outdoor Power Tools after Mitchell's folded and continued to facilitate machine deals in the Leicester/Derby/Nottingham areas until fairly recently when he decided to take a sit back and concentrate on helping a few clients without the pressure of daily sales. I first met Bryan back in the mid 80's when I was on the saw, at the yard that Mitchell's had by the low bridge in Ashby De La Zouch, when I was drooling over a tractor that I couldn't afford. I bumped into him at other depots too and he was always dressed smartly and came across as a helpful chap who wanted to do business with you but without pressuring you to buy something. He was always humourous and enjoyed a laugh with his many customers. A good bloke in all. An honour to have made his acquaintance really. Rest in peace Bryan.
