  1. If it was more reasonably priced I would use, but not when its 3 times the price plus I would have to buy loads and store it rather than fill a 20l jerry can every week. I assume the government are stilling walloping taxes on it equivalent to road fuel?
  2. Usually the insurance will appoint a structural engineer to carry out test to see if it could be the tree. They monitor the movement over a period of time.
  3. Working fine on mobile(android) now:thumbup1:
  4. Terrible tragedy and thoughts to her friends and family. Those not happy with the way the emergency services are run could always join up and show them how to do it. Obviously some mistakes were made or should I say decisions not made but I'm sure they save many hundreds of lives everyday that none of us hear about. Aren't we lucky that if we feck up the worst is usually a broken fence panel or a late finish and not someones life.
  5. Tis a great season to receive tips ATM! £50 each and a bottle of Irish moonshine was one of the best.

    Bail Out

    That is quite brilliant!!
  7. No its not called learning it's called being lazy. They get an assignment, they copy and paste it into here then copy and paste the answer back to their tutor, where is the learning bit in that? I am also for asking questions and God knows I've asked many but I do try to put some thought behind them(most of the time:001_smile:) and try to expand on any answers or questions that may then arise. Besides my hard earned taxes are being spent on this education which from what I can see is money poorly spent! BTW I am critiquing the lack of tutoring that seems to go on rather than the students. Surely you must be able see how extremely poor the questions are. Tbh, if not much thought has gone into the question how can anyone expect much thought to go into the answer. Anyway, back to the OP, the answer is yes. If you get any marks for that then the tutor wants shooting.
  8. Jesus, I'm sorry but enoughs enough. Aren't YOU supposed to think about these questions and try to come up with a logical and practical answer/solution? Come on don't they teach you anything at all?
  9. Shite filled nappies and dog turds!!! Jesshhh I hope you dont toast marshmellows on there. I bet Hugh Fearnley doesnt do that while smoking a ham in his chimney breast.
  10. Always swap hands as crossing is when the accidents happen! Although I assume you mean with a chainsaw not a silky.
  11. If thats what your tutor handed you, and you havent been given any classroom work on how to work through any of it then I would seriously question the level of tuition your receiving!
  12. Looks like it worked as planned. Now what you could of done is got a line just above the gob got some tension in it then just as it was about to break the hinge give it loads more, woulda jumped and swung the butt round towards the chipper. Done that plenty of times but on smaller stuff by just pushing it sideways by hand, works well and surprising how much you can push the timber out, good for dodging power lines.
  13. It used to work fine until about 2-3 weeks ago then it started doing the above. Its with dolphin hd browser, i uninstalled and re installed etc but to no avail.
  14. I get this on my phone with a certain browser. Featured Ads ? fatal error: call to undefined function wasp_ad_widget_thumbnail() in /home/virtual/vps-356403/9/94e24df461/public_html/classified/featured_slider.php on line 46
  15. I could hear her whinning from the next room, God it was depressing. The only stuff im allowed to watch is all on V+. Or on my own on a little tiny 22" fella.
  16. Well and truly seconded. BTW That Janet one is garbage and makes me want to slit my wrists.
  17. Sounds like its the feed from the engine to the autobox, the one that tells the box what speed the engine is running at. The feed usually comes from the alternator/stator depending what engine it has. The wire could be broken or the alternator/stator could be knackered, or it could be the autobox. Check the wiring and also check the battery is getting 14V ish volts when running at highish revs.

    Movember

    Do you all realise you will only ever achieve Freddie Mercury status and never reach the full height of the Magnum. Although he looked like a gay biker too.
  19. Ive done quite a few butterfly stitches but when it comes to needle and cotton I think it best to get a pro in. Although I have had to remove a few stitches that havent disolved but have just got infected! NHS cut backs no doubt.
  20. Good to see you have a proactive LA. I reckon I could keep our one busy for the next year or so if they bothered to carry out the work.
  21. Totally agree but ive also seen lads who have 'served time on the tools' who you certainly wouldnt want to be around never mind hand a job over to or pay a decent wage. I guess there is no real way to prove your worth than to be seen doing the work. Its a good job I just advertise myself as being shite, no hidden surprises.
  22. Looks very ugly and I doubt many would like to trust it but I bet it would still take more than enough to snap it! Besides, I only use it to hang the silky from which doesn't get used anyway.
  23. Does anyone(and I dont just mean on Arbtalk, anyone of us 7 billion on the planet) know exactly why we have ended up in this state? As far as I can see, everyone is still paying their mortgage, loans CC etc and the shops are still rammed and have been all year with paying customers! The price of food, fuel and utilities have sky rocketed but we are all still buying the same amount. I reckon theres a good chance that if the media just shut up and the G20 stopped having meetings and swapping money about for the next year or so then it would all just blow over. That or WW3 is quite likely.
  24. They are always the best. I fashoined up a very simple one that uses the pulse take off on the 020, I jammed a bit of rubber between cylinder and exhaust and between the carb and handle. Worked well enough to see the crank seal leaking. The spark plug one sounds better though and I have a leakdown tester (home made obviously!) so it wouldnt be hard to get that working. Cheers for the info.
