  1. Quite a few years ago now. Used them quite a lot up the tree. Sometimes if you need one it is nice to use. Heavy as hell but wanted to get the job done in this London Plane and Oak in the other picture. Hard timber and would have been a pain in the buttski with a 660. 48” bar was needed on that tree. Started smaller but it was easier to go large, we changed it up that day for the larger bar to make the cuts in one go.
  2. They are a lot of dog. A dog that needs a job. A friend has one for home and family protection. I followed their training from the kennels on Instagram. A lot of time and effort needed to tame a Maligator.
  3. Gmail is a web based mail system. You just need Internet access or a smart phone with connectivity. Gmail has nothing to do with you old Virgin account. Virgin just might be one of the ways you would use to connect to the Internet.
  4. Or as the case may be for theOak tree round the corner from mine. Tree owner get a quote for the removal of fallen tree. Insurance covers costs and the guy then gets an old man from round the corner to do it for the wood and the tree owner is in the money as they keep the insurance money. The. Easy thing about that job was the tree had gone and the insurance company was calling up to try and get cheaper prices from the farmer up the road, yet the tree had been done at least a week before.
  5. The bow wave created by the correct speed actually lowers the water level at the front of the car. If you get too close to the bow wave it can come over the bonnet and flood the engine bay.
  6. My claim to fame was we did Texas in a day. High tailing it all the way with only one stop. TBF we were trying to get to Joshua Tree National park and Texas smelt of cow crap and oil. Austin is supposed to be awesome though.
  7. What happened to Wilders legs? Was he taking Ayahuasca instead of doing leg day? Man, a heavyweight boxer with broomsticks for legs.
  8. Were you on remand and this was some kind of alternative punishment? 6 times in one tour. I knew the Grateful Dead had that kind of fan culture following them venue to venue. Never realised the Quo had it aswell.
  9. The one way to confirm sweet chestnut timber is to smell it. It smells like ‘Tangy Tom’s’ or very cheap tomato sauce flavoured crisps. Unmistakable.
  10. I wonder who the imposter sat on the sofa next to my son and dog is then? 🤪
  11. My missus was a professional contemporary dancer for about 13 years then she was director of an international dance company touring all over the world. in our honeymoon period of the sentence, she used to drag me to see shows. I begrudgingly feign enthusiasm then eventually enough was enough. I said I would support her work but don’t drag me to any other shows, I don’t enjoy them and quite frankly I thought it was a load of shite. we are still together after 25 years 🤪
  12. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Smiths and that bloke. Jonny Marr was cool though. Smith/Morrisey we’re responsible for the majority of teenage vegetarians when I was a kid. Thanks to hangovers and bacon they were brought back into the light from the dark side a few year later .
  13. What type of music? Looks more like Rage against the Machine than NWA IMO. Or is it a modern version of classic neo Rap praising the benefits of Hibiscus Tea with locally collected honey?
  14. Bruce Springsteen and any band that had tour posters and T-shirt merch. Bands like Def Lepard, Iron Maiden, White Snake etc. I think it was more the kids listening to it that put me off. Still it stopped me listening to that kind of music. I love music, it has been the soundtrack of my life. It isn’t so much as I dislike bands as I can appreciate a great tunes. If I don’t like a tune I just don’t listen to it. I mean my favourite band is the Grareful Dead yet I listen to Drum and Bass mostly. The one genre I could never get into was the above mentioned bands along with Europe, Jon Bon Jovi etc. I don’t know the true name for that genre, Hairspray Rock maybe or just utter shite. Oh, and Axel Rose, Guns and Roses. I see they have tried to make a few comebacks. I wish that Ginger, Pock marked prick would stay where he is and never make a comeback. I guess music is very subjective. I love it and can appreciate a good tune from many different styles of music apart from the fore mentioned above.
  15. Is anyone else’s Social Media being bombarded by ads from Temu? a cheap Chinese knock off product website. Thought I’d give it a go. Never again !!!
  16. Or cut one of the splices off and get it respliced back onto the snap
