Who will be the winners and loosers this weekend? (Apart from me, I got house guests, so ignoring them all aft ain't on,)

The secret to burning! Burning should be taught in college as it can be an art! Start building your fire with a good "bottom", dead sticks and build up to logs then green stuff with butt ends to the winward side and all stems parallel. As the centre burns, pull out the butt endsvand chuck into the middle. The wind should blow the heat and flames through toward the back. Keep pulling the eides and front out and placing on top and in the middle. Remember, butt into the wind and stems parallel. It will burn. I've built huge fires, once burning 17 mature trees on a fire in a day on a fire no gigger than a double bed!

Jeez! You too? Sorry to hear it, any theft is awful....

How did your interview go Bob, were the good people from Vermeer Europe and USA on good form?

Good one you! Thanksbfor the kind review!

"Go for the ugly un's son, they are more grateful!"

Brutal raid. So sorry to hear it. I hope that you have a speedy recovery from it. Ditto previous views on the future welfare of those responsible for the theft and the future users who think that they have a bargain

"Go and ask your Mother,".

Ground Control also own Vale Landscapes from Ruthin/Mold way and Moray Landscapes from, well, Moray! The people I know from the old Tilhill (rail division) say that GC are a good bunch to be a part off.

Decent request.... a photo will be requested. Off memory, white body, blue/black top crop.....

All true enough....Physically a hard game, how many can you play, commercially?, how many are worth playing?....

That got your attention! The wench's Mother has a fine looking male chicken (ahem!) that is available to a good home for breeding purposes. Not for the pot! Tuxford in North Nottinghamshire for a viewing. Applicants may pm me. Ta!

Tigers. Currently down half the first team to play 6 nations! Top team! Twelvetrees' nickname when he played for Tigers was "36". The captain was Geordan Murphy who is Irish, when he shouted his name it came out like 12 3s! Class act!

France v Italy.... Wow! Bloody good for the Italians! Marvelous game, right the last minute....

Some years ago, a similar thing happened to a good friend in his Lancia Delta 4x4. Tried to claim but it was thrown out as "if you didn't see it, you were going too fast, "....

A Cat contains platinum, therefore they are worth a load to unscrupulous smelters! Pipe cuttersbor cordless grinders or saws make some vehicles easy targets, especially 4x4 types because of the underbelly ground clearance. One possible way is to have a friendly welder shove some weld or weld strips along your pipe where it be easiest to attach a pipe cutter or get to it with cordless kit.

RBS 6 Nations is on! England against Scotland now! Currently 16-8 to England. Our center half is Billy Twelvetrees whose Dad is a tree surgeon in Sussex!

Correct, always replace a full set, never just the one. That, in theory, means that the general balance if the drum is not compromised. Cheers.

Clutch? Friction plate between two sections held together by bolts with springs? Blimey, I wouldn't have thought greasey slippery stuff was in order! Our PTO shafts have an overrun and a shear bolt lobe, both of which should have a couple of pumps of standard grease, once a week.

Good point Steve, we have all done it! Would the oily residue left on the live cuts do any harm too?

Hi Lee, your comments have a load of truth, I do work for GreenMech, have done now for some 13-14 years. I also ran them when I ran a tree surgery firm prior to selling them for GM. I also appreciate that personal choice is part of the buying process. I'm also aware that your employer has different makes and sizes of machine which you care for. However, my post made no comparisons. I look at machinery of a similar type and think "where has the money gone to in that." Sometimes you can see it in the component quality, build, finish, aftercare etc. Others you cannot. My opinion in this case is that the brand is, and was even back in the 1980s, expensive. They work very well and they look good, but I just cannot see components or build qualiy that justifies the price that they are marketed at. I do the same with a lot of items. Why does Apple cost more than Samsung? Why do burgers from Tesco cost more than those from Aldi? Why are Wrangler jeans so expensive, why do people do Facebook?

Hi Ian, list price on one is is £25450 plus the squeeze! Make you local dealer shed a tear when ask for a quote! Best regards Youf!

Hey Bob! I got a bit of swag for you too! Next time I'm coming by, I'll bring it in. Still got that grumpy Mastiff?

Those shoes Dean, what is the story behind those? Is it a special fetish or golf? Man! But they are bad! Do the ladies work in your office in Newark? If they do, I'll swoop by for a perv!

Thankyou Mr H....is yours going okay?
