  1. I don’t think that is correct Gareth.
  2. Some of those ridiculously light guesses were exactly that, ridiculous. I am sure many here have taken down Lleylandii before. The logs are proper heavy compared to other species.
  3. It’s been pretty nippy here in Norway. The warmest it has been this last week was -8c. Winter tyres and Quattro for the win. For he most part very stable, unless your pretty dumb and driving too fast and stamp on the breaks. I sometimes do this (obviously when it is safe) just to see how the car reacts and how I react to it. The hills are pretty steep to get down to my house by the Fjord. No problems though. I fall over every time on this road when I am walking after a winter night out on the piss. IMG_6147.MOV
  4. Do a search for Webasto. That is the name of the diesel heaters here in Norway. I did a quick search and there were Uk suppliers.
  5. I have Nokian’s on both my Hilux and Audi Etron in the winter. I used to have studded tyres on my A6, that was great fun in the snow. I rate the Nokian’s, can’t compare though to other brands as I’ve always had them on my cars in Norway for winter driving.
  6. We once turned up to a rather posh residence somewhere near Sevenoaks. Nice House, Range Rover, big landscaped garden covered in dog eggs. I knocked on the door and a rather fit looking bird in her 30’s answered the door. I explained that we needed the garden clear before we would do any work and the dog had laid eggs everywhere, “did she have a ‘poop a scooper’?” She went back in the house and came back with a shovel and tried to hand it to me. I just walked off. She didn’t have to be an expert in body language to work out I wasn’t clearing up the dog shit her dog had left.
  7. What a babe. Murdering bar steward, how dare you cut down trees? I guess I am one of the murdering b’stards as well. Lovely day for it. Fresh, crispy and still. Removal of quite a few healthy trees just for the view. There was the odd stinker in there as well but to admit that would get the ecomentalist going for removing valuable habitat.
  8. Wow, so much uproar over some artificial grass.!!! IMO there is no need to get your knickers in a twist, it is hardly the crime of the century. The customer wanted a specification and got a price for it which they accepted. Someone did the job and got money in the bank and no one died, was robbed or did anything shady. Yet, he is lambasted for putting money in the bank and food on the table. There are so many self righteous members on here. Get a grip.
  9. Cheers mate. I don’t usually bother myself with trivial events like the news. Now it has started to interfere with my understanding of some jokes on the joke thread, I might have to take an interest from now on.
  10. Who the hell are you all on about?
  11. I am 48 and don’t get it. Would someone please care to explain?
  12. Pfanner Arborist type A for me. Don’t listen to Joe. 😁
  13. I tagged the wrong @PeteB
  14. One was a full port and exhaust mod. the other was just an exhaust mod. Thenother had an exhaust mod but I sold it years ago. The last one I own is for spares or repair. Not a lot left of it tbh. It is like a box of fresh air at the moment LOl.
  15. @Pete B had plenty of issues with his adblue Ranger. There was a quite lengthy thread on here.
  16. Not noticed that myself Matty. I have 3 ms200t’s. Some properly ported by Spud and another with a 11mm hole drilled in the muffler. All three were noticeably more powerful than a stock saw and exhaust.
  17. Drill a hole in the exhaust and retune it.
  18. There are professionals and there are chainsaw users. The summers have been hot for as long as I can remember. As a professional, I just get on with the job and accept it might get a bit sweaty round my bollocks. I d use a chainsaw pretty much every working day though. The chainsaw kecks go on when I am at work. If it’s really hot then I will take them off at lunchtime and once the cutting is done out come the shorts.
  19. Yes, I remember that now. Pretty pathetic IMO. I always cheer on the home nations, whoever they are playing.
  20. Why don’t you want Wales to win Mick? I am sat here rooting for the boyo’s.
  21. Yeah, right o. I believe you. Is that a Ltd Company turnover or a Sole Traders profit?
