  1. It's strictly off topic but Strictly Come Dancing is back on. I'm strictly not a fan but my wife did it last year and I came to appreciate the talent, especially the pro women in their heels.

     

    Anyway, Victoria Pendleton is on and I have never seen such a lucky gold dress!

     

    I got into this last year, I'm not big into dancing or the such but found it quite entertaining last time. Obviously helps having fit women wearing next to nothing :)

  4. Sorry not been here for a while.

     

    No new liners.

     

    Update is its gone back, i said I either wanted a replacement, a refund or for them to pay to send it off, they said they'll refund, have to say, presuming they refund, I'm impressed with the service.

     

    The better news is I've now got a tophat 4.6 turner engine with 17,000 miles on it to go in :)

  5. I have to say for Aldi to be selling these cheap chainsaws is a bit irresponsible. Look at the guy who got fined for using one on a ladder(idiot). How are they going to stop wasted A&E time without some sort of restriction. Aldi on the other hand are ONLY thinking about profit.

    We think- what harm can it do- but chainsaws are serious dangerous and every accident puts more restriction pressure on us who need them as a working tool.

    Someone on here said they asked H&S what percentage of chainsaw accidents were caused by professionals and H&S said they didn't keep separate records. I don't know how true that is but the last thing we want is full chainsaw protection suits:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

     

    Wasted a&e time? I think this is getting blown out of proportion here, how much a&e time do you thinks been taken up with chainsaw accidents?

  6. i was gunna pop in and ask any and every question about the saw and if i should have ppe. then ask are they selling ppe etc etc. its only across the road im working on thursdays. lol be intresting to see what they have to say

     

    To be fair the people working in aldi aren't going to have a clue about ppe etc. your better of giving aldi a grilling rather than some poor student on minimum wage

  8. You've had her in bits, why?

     

    I would've said go for a full refund at minimum as it appears to be unfit for purpose; namely, that wouldn't last long before going bad!....

     

    I originally just thought it was the cam bearings, and was gonna have them fitted and do some cleaning of the block too at the same time
