  1. I was thinking about this the other day. The only real reasons for buying a diesel were , 1 They were reliable and tuff 2 They returned a good mpg. It seems that they arent as economical now as they were in the past. Plus a lot dont get past the 80k mark before blowing a turbo,a head gasket or snapping a cam belt. Makes you wonder if its even worth buying a diesel these days! Lpg seems a better option.
  2. Surely adding weight is the LAST thing to do to a top handle!!! If those details are right and the husky is as good as it looks like it will be then maybe Stihl has made a big mistake. Could be the end of the mighty 020!
  3. An old time classic that has to be watched. bbc1
  4. Just watched this. Good to see the men must get money at what ever cost. Explains a lot I suppose, with some.
  5. Thats not good, and btw sry to hear since I assume you knew him.
  6. No one ever told me that! I suppose theres not really any chance of them failing. Sometimes its best not to know! Thanks:thumbup1:
  7. If you can position yourself so you dont just get pulled back into the main stem but sideways you can lean back away from the branch and sort of bounce along sideway, if that makes any sense! I remember back in college the tutor saying try to hold onto anything even if its epidermic as it will give you that bit of extra help(some of its mental). Getting out is the easy bit, getting back in is a whole other thread though!
  8. Why is that?
  9. Was the guy who died using waste oil or was it from new stuff? I only ask because I thought it was waste that was carcinogenic, otherwise I would of thought the amount we breathe in and get on our face and hands each day would cause a lot of us to drop like flies.

    Boredom Tax?

    Well I reckon there should also be a fine for those posting complaining about a pointless thread complaining about pointless posts! Oh and aye.
  11. Could it be a branch from another apple thats now been removed? I woulda thought a hanger would die before it had a chance to fuse with live wood. Excellent though whatever the story.
  12. Sounds like you know what to do next time then, take the points. I did it awhile ago, thought it was ok and better than getting 3 points, so what if it cost a few quid I shouldnt have been speeding in the first place. I bet you had a right monk on all day.
  13. The legal law part. Rest breaks : Directgov - Employment 20 mins in 6 hours seems a bit tight to me!
  14. I'm sure the daily mail have changed that story from when I read it this morning! Anyhow must of been terrible for the family and neighbours:thumbdown:
  15. Good stuff if thats how its best for you. I'd be gutted if I didnt have time for a bit of a nap at dinner. As for doobin! surely you gotta be extracting the urine on those hours!
  16. I bet they wouldnt try that hammer swing blow on a MS200T chain brake. Goes to show if you dont hang silly weights off your cheapo chainsaw it will probably be ok.
  17. Apparently its like walking but you move your legs quicker! We did it in PE classes in school but since buying a car I hardly have to even walk these days.
  18. Really? You dont stop at all? I work from 8-4:30 ish. But that is just the time I get to the yard and the time I leave. More often than not I will finish earlier and leave all those little jobs for another day:sneaky2: Actual working hours are very different and they dont include the hours of pricing, paper work, blah blah blah.
  19. Try this stuff aswell. Web site has some good info on how to use it. Home I think the hts 2000 is easier to use than the durafix, ive used both but cant remember the difference as it was a while ago.
  20. A good cause.
  21. Why on earth are you thinking about blagging the customer into a fell then? Sorry but it is out of order simply because you think its an awkward job. You may as well tell them its dangerous and it could fall over and kill someone.
  22. I like to use sēmantiká per se.
  23. Surely though thats per man per hour. £25 aint bad. I have rates, heating water, elec etc etc. £50 ish is taking the pee a bit I think.
  24. Nope, surely thats the main reason why we are tree surgeons!? Remove that and we are fallers.
  25. He woulda run a mile at the sight of the ladder.
