W H Fields maintained that golf was "a good walk ruined", never having played beyond pitch and put, I cannot possibly comment:biggrin: Looks very nice Mike, your work always looks very crisp and professional

I heard that the secret to slowing down the speed at which life passes by is to do NEW things. The problem with things we have done hundreds of times before is our minds drift, remember those journeys you have driven 100's of times, often you reach the other end and can remember very little of of the journey. Life is the same, find new hobbies, go to new places, you will noticeably feel life slow:thumbup1:

I'll not be trying a Husky top handle again, they had their chance and blew it. My 201 is fantastic

The 540 is garbage IMO, fortunately the 201 is now sorted, its a little known fact that the later ones have a different pot and piston, this along with parts available in the upgrade kit, which are fitted as standard to the later saws, has made the 201 into a cracking saw, IMO. We a basically back to where we were a few years back, stihl is the only genuine fit for purpose top handle. Husqy had their chance and blew it, stihl dropped the ball briefly, but have know got their ducks back in a row.

Yes, it turns every thing off, this will happen any way once the prostate is gone, as far as I'm aware.

Would glyphosate not have been easier???

Guy I know whos in his early 70's, very fit, slim, never stops, went for a medical. They did all the normal checks, gave him the all clear and sent him home. When he got home his wife asked if they had done a PSA test, they had said that because he had no symptoms there was no point doing the test, his wife was very annoyed and told him in no uncertain terms to get his arse back there and insist on the test, he did, the result of the test was 115!!!!!!!!!!!!! it should be under 10 and ideally 2or3. They checked the test again as it seemed unbelievable, but no it was correct!!! Anyway long story short he was given pills (chemical castration) and radiation treatment to burn out his prostate and has made a full recovery and been given the all clear!!!

Peeing on the wheel is a good move, I believe its still legal to urinate on the wheel of your own vehicle, goes back to the showman days I think.

Kneeling often assists in keeping out of sight or wade into a shrub bed and pretend to be studying a tree or shrub.

This is so true!!!

I guess you had to be there.

Word!!!

That must have been a long time ago, today a drone would be much easier.

My advice is "Go small and be sure to go home"

According to Money box live on radio four, so long as you are the company owner and keep within the basic tax bracket (which is easy if your wife is also a shareholder ) the new rules will actually make us slightly better off

No one can post in the Employment threads except the starter of the thread. Its to stop all the nonsense that used to drown the original post of a job. The poster should know this, so will hopefully keep an eye on their PM's.

I think Merc beat them both with the mog

This is totally incorrect. The Domestic RHI is not metered, your home is assessed and you are given a KW requirement, you must fit a boiler of at least this size and you then receive payments based on the KW requirement you were given.

Nowt wrong with my 201

I think there is a place for kiln drying. My boiler runs the kiln and heats my home. I used to heat our home with very large outdoor boiler, burning unseasoned wood, straight from jobs. There are many advantages to my new system, because its also running the kiln its in all year, this means we can also heat our hot water all year, this was not the case with the old boiler, it was too big to only do hot water, so we had the immersion heater on from april to october. The fact that it always lit also means that we can simply switch the heating on if we wish and its on a timer through the winter, so its much more like gas central heating. I burn manly Pop, Willow and soft wood on the boiler, know these lower grade fire woods can be mixed in with the better hardwood, but like most arb firms we get a disproportionate quantity of these lower grade timbers, so we would struggle to get shut of it all unless it was sold very cheap. I also burn all the horrible lumps any arb firm doing firewood inevitably end up with. As for carbon, timber landfilled or simply left to rot in the corner of the yard will release just as much carbon as if burned, but with much use being made of the energy. Over the years I've let a great deal of timber rot in this way or bonfired it. I recon my carbon foot print it better now than then. The RHI is very welcome and has pushed me into getting into fire wood which is something I've being putting off for years. The kiln does make the whole process faster and more controllable IMO. As for kiln dried being poorer quality, I really do think this is nonsense. A great deal of firewood is burned unseasoned, I think kilning will general drive up the standard of firewood in general. I also know I will want to continue using my kiln after the RHI had ended.

Yes, fair do's, that would be a start

Interesting blog Tom. However there are problems with selling by volume, a cube of Willow contains much less energy than a cube of Beech for example, Wood thats begun to decay or came from a decaying tree losses calorific value, the variables are endless. So buying by volume in no way makes for a level playing field. I would imagine this is one of the reasons the authorities have not got involved. Any legislation would need to be so complex, moisture content, species, has decay begun,etc, etc. Would is very different to coal, gas, etc, IMO.

But where is the line and who draws it?? Live and let live I say, natural selection and all that
