  1. I applaud you for you convictions in veganism even though I could not consider it personally. Even though it is a principle that figures high in your life, surely there are times when practicality overcomes view point in terms of safety? On a similar note, would a Sihk be allowed to work in a turban? After all, their religion is just a firmly held belief surely.
  2. Try one if you are in the market! Get the GreenMech man to bring one out. Look on classified ads, there are a couple of them on there.
  3. Dan, I sent out an APB to the UK dealership network, but as someone else has said, it is probably across the water by now. Sorry but there it is. The punishment does not fit the crime in my opinion.
  4. Jeez Dan! Gutted for you. I'll do the dealer round robin email tomorrow with the details with the details. Hope it turns up.
  5. Sounds like a good night!
  6. Blimey Steve, I feel a tad sick now. Speedy recovery to you, enjoy the enforced break. Is where you can you can measure timber with a "buyers" span and sell with a "sellers" span?"
  7. Their are many different systems available, woodchippers tend to be easier to find hidden devices than many other types of plant and the people who steal them tend to be able to get the machine out of the country or sold one quite quickly. In my opinion, prevention is always better than cure!

    Is this safe?

    Only if you have one...........................
  9. While fitting a "Tracker" is commendable, would it not be easier to not get it pinched in the first place. Everyone has good and bad stories about "Trackers" but making it difficult, risky, worthless to steal in the first place should be the ideal. We found that the "Thiefbeater" ID system work for us once. We sold a demo chipper to our dealer in Northern Ireland and took it to Holyhead docks, they refused to let it onto the ferry as the "Thiefbeater" paperwork was not present even though all the GreenMech paperwork was! I still secure stuff with a big padlock and a thick wire rope!

    I didn't realise that I had dyslexia, until I went to a Toga party dressed as a Goat!

    Jokes???

    A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's' mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior." John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
  12. I see you got the version with the air conditioned cab!
  13. I wouldn't listen to Bald Ed. Happy Christmas Phil! Best regards for the Xmas and the 2012:sneaky2:
  14. As a woman!
  15. I cannot believe that public money is being spent on this case. The "oik" was rude, offensive and he was in the wrong, the big chap should be applauded for standing up for decency and assisting a public servant in his duties! If my son, whom I love dearly, behaved like that in public, on a train, I would have shoved him off for swearing like that alone! Why do we perpetually defend the scum of the earth and criticize the good! If the oik was given the wrong ticket at the window, then I feel sorry for him. I'm sure that if he was, then swearing at the chap doing what he is paid to do, isn't going to get him a seat on the train.
  16. Bad news sells, some newspapers are doing the "shock" sales but if nobody purchaseed them, then they would stop ! Let us be honest here, there are certain "newspapers" that one buys but does not believe, and certain newspapers that have articles that provoke thought. Which category does The Mail fit into. It is The Sun without tits.
  17. Does it pivot okay without any timber in it? Is there a problem with any of the mechanism rather than a problem with the bar and chain?
  18. I get the recipe for the Gruel.
  19. I bow to your greater knowledge Sir! She does look ancient tho, I think you will agree.
  20. Looks good but I don't think that it is a 1990. More like 1970 and imported into the uk in 1990 maybe?
  21. Up to a certain size of stuff, especially stuff like conifer, the CS100 beats a roller fed machine. Rollers run at the same speed, irrespective of size of engine, size of timber, but the CS100 infeed speed is not governed down. Bigger stuff has to be assisted, namely, the stuffer is the no stress device! But, upto say 2 inch (plus even) and fed singly, it disappears very quickly - check out the video on our website. Plus you have got the machine to the job and not dragged it around the garden and down the path! Oh, good luck with the Maestro Turbo, top ride!

    Tried erotic suffocation with the wife the other night when we were having sex. She obviously didnt like it, shes been lying there for 5 days now giving me the silent treatment
  23. Our French "wing" think that as the two biggest suppliers in France are predominately shredder builders, that is what everyone thinks that they should have. You are all correct in that shredders absorb HP for the size of material compared to chippers and they they handle dirty material better than chippers do but are slower processing woody material than chippers. Perhaps they need educating properly.
  24. I do believe that I just got the winning tickets!
  25. Shouldn't think Dave will want to sell that, it's a family heirloom! I got a photo of it somewhere pulling out his John Deere after that went sump deep and the ground swallowed a County too!
