  1. You really think you can teach this guy a lesson? Your kidding yourself. You will simply show him how much he's got under your skin, which his sort love. Bullys crave attention, what they hate most is being ignored, it takes away all their power. Just smile and move on, IMO this will piss him off far more than retaliation you have planned and if it doesn't who cares? at least he's no longer affecting your life.
  2. You clearly do care about his feelings. You want him to feel bad, hence your desire for revenge. If it were me I'd let it go, you won, he failed, move on.
  3. You really are an idiot. I did not even know he was a traveler until YOU told me on here. He and his type are subhuman scum as far as I'm concerned, if he was my father I would be ashamed and embarrassed. I would feel sorry for his victims. The old guy is no more culpable than a train diver who hits a jumper. His family are trying to have the upper hand in this situation, they should slapped down double quick!
  4. Very true! Can't say I'm surprised.
  5. The problem we have is that the odds of our gear getting nicked is pretty high these days. Also our industry does unfortunately include large numbers of the kind of people who would think nothing of defrauding an insurance Co.
  6. I use my Unimog which is over 200HP, I just run it at a whisker over tickover. I'm not sure what the minimum HP would be needed for decent logs, but a David Brown 885, which is around 40HP, is far to small. It will run it, but needs to be at fairly high rev's, so the wood is smashed to bits. I would guess that 100HP+ would be enough.
  7. Yes, but you can install larger and only get paid for the size they say you require. Its not metered, so you just get a fixed rate depending on the KW they say you need.
  8. Makes no odds, you may have a huge garden, or a garden plus a paddock or other agricultural land. None of this land can be used for none agricultural business, unless you get planing content. Fortunately most planing departments are reactive, not proactive, so as long as your not upsetting anyone you can quietly get away with a lot. As meany do.
  9. Cameron has a posh shed/office in his garden. He is writing his memoirs there. Pretty sure he'll make plenty once there done. Unless your business activity can have a material affect on your neighbours, noise, clutter etc, I can't see what grounds there could be for any objection.
  10. Sycamores often have smooth bark, look at the branch unions and bark plates after the tight bend. If thats Beech I'm Russian (I'm not)
  11. Interesting tree, but is it not a Sycamore?
  12. Half the country run business from their home address. Taking calls, doing your accounts on the kitchen table etc, is absolutely fine. What you can't do is fill your drive or garden with work tools, logs, chip etc.
  13. May was HS when Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned, May did nothing, his widow was had to fight to get it investigated. May was humiliated by the findings of the investigation. There is no way she was going to let this one slip away quietly.
  14. Putin is the one who wants the west attacking Russia, it allows he to play the hard man and foster popularity at home. He had no interest in killing these people other than to play his political game. Obviously the means of murder had to point directly to Russia.
  15. I'd be interested in those please.
  16. I will never understand why people don't put a location in the thread title? Its the same with people who are looking for work? WHY??
  17. They should go see if Tesco are hiring.
  18. VAT man and TAX man are highest up the pecking order, so IME theres generally nothing left for your average debtor. I was taken for £900 a few years back, they actually owed over £250K!! What really got my goat was the fact they never really stopped trading. They simply slightly altered the name, bought all the gear off themselves for peanuts and their wives became the new directors
  19. Green is gentler on the machine, but it will do seasoned without issue. I do up to 8", even 8" Beech is cut with ease.
  20. For small stuff the Bilke takes some beating, IME the secret is running it slowly with a big tractor. Doing this you get pretty decent looking, uniform logs. The mistake most people make is running it at speed, because the tractor is too small, this just produces a pile of smashed up crap.
