Glad to hear the device works! I was looking forward to seeing pictures of you with curly hair when you had your get together!

Mat, just had a look at the local site, as of 6th April its now a national standard form 1APP looks like a lot more work!

Mat, my local councol were happy with 1 form and a map which i got of their web site. i would imagine its different with other councils?

I wear a hi viz jacket or wais coat.

Some people might tell you black helmets are too hot attracting heat fro the sun etc. The bottom line is all helmets are hot! 80% of the body's heat can be dissipated through the head. Keep the vents open and keep taking fluids. Wear whatever colour you like, if Hi Viz is an issue wear a vest or hi viz t shirt.

Can anyone enlighten me on this? I have a full licence with all categories: A-E, If I am towing my Bandit 90Xp with my 110 Landy do I need an operators licence and if so what is it and how do I get one? Sorry if this seems like a bone question!

is there a visual inspection to tell which one you have? The brakes on my 110 Ex utility are not brilliant but I know it has a lot of weight winch etc.

An old willans! hurt my back though!

Sounds like a good deal to me!

It will be Vac packed so it should be ok on a next day delivery!? Thanks!

I cant go any where this weekend! work takes priority unfortunately would you like me to send you a self addressed bag or box with a cheque and a lump of venison?

MattyF I would be after a small pair, how much do you want for em? How did you manage to tear them, are they not supposed to be extreme?

Just got mine, Dogs dangalies!:wave:

Would anyone recommend the extremes? Fancy the stretch airs but are they worth the money and are the extremes better?

:dito:

I see you have no spike on the list? Does this mean you are not going to do a pole rescue or are you hoping its not picked on your assesment? I don't think being able to talk an assesor through a pole rescue is good enough IMHO.

The video says .338, or 8.59mm. Not on in my opinion! If you want to test yourself shoot on a range at targets! Live animals should be culled humanly and at those distances there is more than a high chance of wounding the beast. Military snipers are a different matter and sometimes shoot at very long ranges.

Yes I have it! Thanx Rob!

That should mean mine is here!

Great promotional vid Anna, my wife thinks its only for Butch daft blokes!

Can any one offer any advice? This question was asked on a non arb related forum. Having just paid 49p per litre for heating oil (32p last September and 22p the time before that) I am getting brassed off being beholden to oil companies especially as oil my be 60p this autumn. I am thinking about a boiler to burn either Bio mass or wood pellets to run our centeral heating at home. The oil boiler is about U/S anyway. Bio mass is anything, wood, wood pellets, Mischanthus grass, wood chip, wheat, barley etc etc Does anyone have any experiance of these boilers, looking at about 32KW capacity. Cost wise pellets are about £170 a ton, this equates energy wise to 34p per litre for oil. Wood chips are way below that but would need bulk storage and handling, not a lot of energy per ton and lots more ash. Boilers start at about 5K but a remote boiler in a shed (or container) with integral bulk fuel supply would be 15 or 16K plus instalation costs. These would be considerable as underground pipework is needed under a tarmac drive. Now I can source as much free dry sawdust as I want, so I could maybe make my own pellets but again a large capital investment as it is apparantly not as simple as some would make it look. A mobile pellet making set up on a trailer is around 20K, makes around 600kg an hour. I have seen a little Ameriacn machine for 2K but that is just the pelleter. Or I could maybe hire some time at a miscanthus grass pelleting site locally, or buy Miscanthus grass pelleted at 120 a ton or so from them in big bags but some boilers dont like Miscanthus residue. Add machinery costs to the boiler costs and the savings on 4,000 litres of oil a year (say 2k at present) dont really stack up. Dont have gas, they wont install it, to far (300 yards) from the end of the existing main. Ground heat pumps are about the same running costs as oil in cost per KW. I am sure wood is the fuel of the next 20 years and the idea of free fuel is appealing, at present there is a small grant providing you jump through a few green hoops. For buisnesses there is 100% writedown against tax in year one so great but private houses it is £1500 max. Anybody and thoughts and experiance?. Thanks

Cheers!

Having looked at the A Top in the above link it is totaly different to standard sharpening, for example you use a flat file and you sharpen from the outside in!? Has anybody used this system and is so what are the advantages and disadvatages apart from the obviuos extra cash!

or me!
