  1. Except every iceberg you have been screaming about, jumping up and down with your arms in the air, has turned out to be either a figment of your imagination or a block of polystyrene
  2. Was Mcguiness and his cowardly cronies not behind the peace process? a good way of them side stepping justice, as the powers that be were just getting a nice case together, that would have sent him down for the rest of his life.
  3. Do you work for the BBC ?
  4. And keep the Pound, apparently……………..
  5. I would steer well clear of "hourly" or "day" rates, give a price for each job. Make sure both you and the customer are fully aware of exact extent of the work involved.
  6. It does take time. Make sure your customers are happy. I've had far more compliment on the standard of the tidy up than the quality of the work, sad, but true. I guess they know more about a clean drive than good arb, so no point worrying.
  7. I think there is binding, but the saw generally has the power to cope. I could be wrong
  8. Its money for old rope!!! Sorry……………………I mean its money for looking at old rope.
  9. Awful business, but in some countries life is cheap or its seen as the will of some god or other, so will anything actually change? will any measures be put in place to try and prevent a repeat? I have no idea?
  10. Wood is a compacted structure, as you cut, the cut closes as the material at each side of the cut expands.
  11. This is true, except timber is under compression, so as you cut the cut closes behind the cutters.
  12. The dryer the timber the less lubrication and more heat, cutting Ash will soil the chain on a saw, just because of the low moisture content. Cutting some nice green timber may well do the job, it certainly bring a chain up nice and clean after Ash or dead wood, IME.
  13. Google is getting a right kicking, they are going to have to get their act together.
  14. I have no idea, but tell myself he didn't, the alternative is just too depressing. It's very difficult to comprehend just how selfish people can be
  15. Be careful, I know someone who as soon as her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, divorced him and took the cash
  16. Having had the misfortune to have to spend a fair bit of time in nursing homes recently, the majority of residents would not be safe on a ship and would not know or benefit from being on one. Its all very sad and a future I will certainly endeavour to avoid. There are things far worse than death, IMO.
  17. I wouldn't bother, see how they have a bucket covering the cutter wheel:sneaky2: I think its one of those where the cutter wheel is more like a road sweeping brush, spinning horizontally rather than vertically.
  18. If I did that I think I'd be living in a cardboard box
