  1. Good reply Says somewhere in the C.S. 38 schedule "equipped ,able & willing":001_smile:
  2. Land Rover Trying to answer the next question early.
  3. For a sought after book like that "A book in the hand is worth twice it's cover price":001_smile: On arbtrader it would sell quick!
  4. Stihl 261 or Husky 550 ? difficult choice. Sharing parts pool or a bit of friendly rivalry ? My only suggestion is to get your new saw with a semi-chisel chain as well as a full chisel. The semi-chisel chain is less aggressive in the cut and will build confidence. When comfortable the full chisel goes on for your assessment day
  5. "The things you see when you havn't got a gun" usually a comment made when seeing a bunch of big lasses out on the pull.
  6. Too slow. :-) Its a brave person who drives close to a canal i.m.e !
  7. I thought that cranes are rated at tonnes/metre, what the superstructure can safely handle. A 1000 tonner is never going to get 1000 tonnes 1 metre from its centre but 100 tonnes at 10 metres is do-able:001_smile:
  8. Highland Park here. The tcp made me smile, sounds like Lagavulin to me too.
  9. That's handy to know Mendi I'd been looking at the slot and wondering. The landy on its bfg muds doesn't worry but it does dig unnecessarily large holes:blushing:
  10. A Scheaff /Terex punches well above its weight. In the 1.5 tonne class they are hard to beat (in my experience). Even engcon show one on a tilt/rotator.
  11. Interesting point. I shall have to go through my stock of new valves to see if there is any difference between the cores of lawn tractor and lorry valves.
  12. They can't risk being left with small people at the end of the school day.
  13. It's a great book, got mine from treesource. Love the understated American style:thumbup1:
  14. Bought mine from a tiling suppliers, they called it a vanity disc.
  15. An arbtalk glossary would be really handy:thumbup:
  16. Yup. She said it was dead easy to machine the capstan of the Harken smooth and space out the self tailing to take a rigging line. After that the fabrication of the mount was easy. Her boyfriend is a coded welder so it came as a big shock that the "health and safety gone mad" brigade wouldn't sign it off as safe.
  17. I have a 'Presso' It's a hand cranked device that looks like the offspring of a mating betwean a corkscrew and a stirrup. Tis very rare to taste better coffee
  18. Mnnnn. I've enjoyed ruby red in Devon
  19. I was very pleased that a special effort was made to make peoples christmas happen. Too many years as a subcontractor in the supply chain has made me sceptical of some retailers ethics. Dead chuffed to have bought just about everything from local businesses this year. Happy xmas to you all and may the new year be a tad less wet
  20. Good publicity for tesco. Just hope that they won't be making their suppliers pay for the charter costs.
  21. Love mine I can sit for hours watching the pistons doing their stuff and find the sound really relaxing
  22. Velcro top and bottom here. I find them comfy even though i'm not an every day climber. Certainly nicer than others i've used.
  23. Yup, regular viewer here. When the new saw is run in I shall be looking to get a 201,260 & 441 tuned up. Trouble is I run Aspen. Where should I go?
