Thats where the booby traps come in, ie spring loaded 3x2. But you have to develop a faultless routine, as I have posted previously, I shot myself in the ribs with one of my booby traps.

If its an outside shed and you have a mains wire running to it you can just buy a two part IR sensor. You plug the sensor somewhere in the shed and plug a bleeper into a plug socket at the side of your bed. If the detector picks anything up it will send a signal through the mains loop in your house and bing bong the bleeper at the side of your bed, without the thieves knowing. You can then get out your remote control and set off all the booby traps you have set for them, swinging spiked ball, spring loaded 3x2, 12 bore blanks, pit with spikes in the bottom coated with dog muck, paintball guns. You get the drift

Stihl Multi tool arrived this morning, many thanks Justin

You don't take much confusing Bob. Simple typo, it is infact 1.1mm and mine is a 170 180/170 whats the difference?? They are also excellent for fine pruning work, they give a less raggy cut, I bet you use a 660 for pruning, cos the only pruning you see is at ground level.

Must be cos your a southerner Matt :wave:

A portfolio like that would be something most of us can only dream of.

You under rate this little saw :wave: It wont be far behind your 361 slicing down rings along the grain with half the fuel and half the shavings. That's why I use it for that, I've tried the rest and the little 170 was nice and light and did it nearly as quick as a 441 I'd like you to demonstrate splitting a 36" ring in half with an axe Matt :wave:

Absolutely cracking saw for cutting big rings in half because of the 1.3mm blade width gives off no much shavings.

I went for a takeaway curry in my series 2. |On the way home I got peckish so I scrambled around inside the bags with my left hand for a kebab. Found them but dropped the packet on the floor in the passenger footwell, I leaned over to pick it up but must have pulled the steering wheel to the left as i did so. When I looked up, I had just started to hit a drystone wall, the freewheel hubs climbed the wall and flipped the landy at about 45mph. I rolled a few times and ended up upside down, engine screaming and petrol running down all over me from the tanks under the seat. I couldn't get the seat belt undone because of the weight of me pulling down on it. I could either switch off the engine and risk a spark from the switch, or leave it screaming and try to get out. Hmmm, decisions decisions, life or death decisions! I switched the ignition off at the same time as cacking myself. Grabbed the curry and went home to eat it leaving the landy on the edge of the road. Got home had my curry, got another landy and some mates and went back to find about 20 police officers, three fire engines, an ambulance and all the cops in a line doing a sweep of the adjacent fields. Needless to say, I got a right telling off. I have since, never owned a petrol vehicle only diesels. Some of the things I've done you just couldn't make up

My wife calls me things that makes "Saddo" look like a compliment!!! :wave:

There was a scenes of crime officer and the relevant parts were retained and taken away for evidence

Kirklees is a huge Authority, with hundreds of parks and woodland. In an ideal world every tree would be well managed, but they can't inspect every tree in Kirklees and to some extent rely on vigilance of the public. The public don't know what to look for I know. I am always ringing them and Calderdale to warn them of dangerous or failing trees within a public area. I'm sure many on here do the same.

Spent all day collecting signatures and getting forms filled in by referees for the old firearms cert. All day to get two signatures and two letters of consent. Then spent three hours filling in the new Kirklees TPO planning consent applications. 3 copies of 4 page application 3 copies of map showing location of trees 3 copies of detailed description of works to be carried out Absolutely rediculous and a waste of good paper.

If you are getting wood in random sizes and mainly big discs, then the hydraulic vertical is the way I would go with a 4 way. Done it by hand and also using the cone shaped Hycrack splitters, which I found too slow and fingers kept getting slapped every now and again. Mr Ed once recommended this one to me which would be a belter if you had the cash. Timberwolf TW7 http://www.timberwolfcorp.com/log_splitters/default.asp?id=13

My Dad did the same only snapped the tipper, not the chassis, with a log wedged between the tipper body and the towbar bracket. Sadly, I couldn't sack him, he lives next door.

Kirklees are one of the better LA's for tree management, you see them around and about all the time. I would say they are ontop of their job. One of the problems is the wind is an easterly, from a totally different direction to normal and when we do get easterlys they are normally mild winds. The wind hasn't been strong just a bit blustery. But surprisingly I have had two calls today for tree wind damage, one a split Willow and the other a large conifer waving about on its rootball.

It was a girl known to my daughter. Details are sketchy at the moment but I'm sure we'll find out exactly what happened shortly.

I'm a big tough Yorkshireman, don't need lemonade :wave:

Chilean caberet?? Mine was washed down with five cans of carling :wave:

Can beat that with BBQ of one whole hind of Venison, butcher by me and served in finely cut steaks. everyone at the BBQ tried it and that makes a change when the hind was butchered infront of everyone. Just melted in the mouth, we had some beef steak from the local butcher, which, in comparison to the venison, was like chewing leather.

I considered changing to a 150 last year but decided that because the 130 had the turning circle of a double decker bus the 150 would be far worse. But there again the advantage would be you could have the same size tipper body plus have a tool cabinet behind the cab,

Just had an update, dog is still at vets and has had to have a 2 inch by 1 inch section of its tongue removed because the tissue was dead, he is at the moment being fed through a tube and being kept sedated. The vet has said that it should not affect the dogs ability to drink water etc. The dog owners still don't know, I've just been talking to my mate who is quite frankly cacking himself has to how he is going to break the news. I'd be cacking myself at what the et bill is going to be

What about these One bulk bag delivered to same area as supplier £105 http://www.onlineturf.co.uk/partners/onlinelogs/index.asp

They tend to go very mouldy unless they are bone dry Ben. I have been trying to source some ventilated bags but they are £6 + vat each.

I'd love to go to sainsbugs in that! MB, Over here we measure the size of ones penis by how flash the car is. The more expensive / large / fast the car is the smaller the mans tool. In other words, what we lack downstairs we make up for in car. This is not intended to be offensive MB, but going by that rule of thumb, your penis must be inverted. I would quite happily live with a small tool if I could own that car !!! Absolutely stunning wheels MB:icon14:
