Same here. That's why I wish stihl would make the back end a bit more ergonomic so it doesn't catch and get jammed as much. I was going to design an add on that would make it a bit more pointy like the husky top handle, but I soon realised I have no design skills, I can't engineer it myself and I don't have the cash to make it! So I have to resort to giving it a good yanking now and then.

Looks like there was a bit of divine intervention from he on high who with his big cosmic key unlocked the thread. Lets all keep it sensible eh or there could be a bit of smiting!

Are they putting a stop to all leaflet dropping? Ie junk mail. Dunno how our is by you but we get a small amazon rain forest delivered every day in the form of pizza ads! Although leaflet dropping doesn't bother me that much and I don't compare it to being a rogue trader at all. I see cold calling and rogue trading when they harass people by knocking at doors and saying how dangerous there tree is etc and not taking no for an answer. Maybe shoving the yellow pages, thompson local, free local papers bt book etc though letter boxes could be seen as the ultimate of leaflet dropping! In that sense maybe must of us are rogue traders.

Booo,hissss. Surely someone hasnt complained already!?

I have read most of it, well sort of in school. I must say that some of the stories are quite interesting and do teach some good morals.But, only when interoperated correctly, imo. The questions of where we come from and why we are here are asked in all cultures dating as far back as we could ask these things. Religion 'was' a stab at trying to explain/answer these questions and therefore carries a lot of power. Which is then in most instances abused for profit and control. If anyone wants to know how we were created and from what, then apparently the answer is tiny vibrating strings. Well its that or 42. So a fat bloke down the pub told me.

birch peeled back to brown and cracking
Mesterh replied to m1lesr's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The cracks might be due to the sun drying out the inner bark. It should be ok since it looks like the cambium(green bit ) is still intact in most parts. I dont thin there is much you can do but covering it may help if the cracks are because of the sun. Hopefully someone else with some better knowledge of this than me will chime in with some better info. -
Read the God delusion and was not impressed in his way of thinking whatsoever(btw I dont believe in God either) Reading 'The greatest show on Earth' atm so will comment more after I finish that. Although also reading a book on Antimatter and another on Quantum Theory so may take some time.

I would rather see speed bumps gone and cameras in their place tbh. Still good though.

They one ugly looking thing for a start. YOU picking one with flowers wont help the looks Andy.[ATTACH]42747[/ATTACH]

There is no doubt that alcohol is a major problem in the UK that costs us the tax payer a lot more than the revenue the tax on alcohol brings in.Same with tobacco. I would also imagine that any 'health benefits' of cannabis are over shadowed by the problems the tobacco causes. Not everyone who smokes cannabis is a piece loving hippy in the same way that not everyone who drinks alcohol is an agro maniac.Bit of a silly video imo. Although they do say variety is the spice of life, and everything in moderation. OK well maybe not EVERYTHING.

That is exactly how it should be. Never have problems with domestic customers, if anything they sometimes call me asking when I'm calling to get payment.(well apart from two times I think where one never paid but thats a long boring story that cost me about £150 iirc) Commercial can be a pain sometimes but only not been paid when they have gone into liquidation etc.I usually just keep harassing them and try to speak to anyone else in the company finance etc if its the commercial manager who is holding out payment etc. That can usually cause enough problems for them to pay up. I dont think I will be doing any more new commercial without proper T&C and payment plans tbh since so many are trying to stiff smaller companies these days with the ongoing economy problems. Good luck hope you can sort it out and keep the stress levels down.

Excellent looks really nice.

I would know because one day I had to go to work and the next day I didn't.

I had an open fire and softwood tried to set the place on fire. I dunno but I would guess there is more hardwood in the UK and more softwood in Sweden hence the preference. If so I guess you adapt and therefore covet what you know.

True.
-
I didnt say it wasnt if thats what you mean, I would possibly agree with you though.
-
I would imagine because it is a mind altering drug. I'm not saying alcohol isnt and I can see why many would want it banned but you cant say that because alcohol is ok to be legal so should cannabis imo. Ive seen enough people affected by cannabis to know it isnt good, they dont see it that way though, just like alcoholics.

Pollards, the forgotten art-discussion

I think I musta missed this thread somehow:confused1: Some of the pics are great:thumbup1: Some of the early posts........ -
I bet they pulled the old "Yes Mrs, we need half the cash now to order a skip,we will be back tomorrow when it turns up" followed by a quick:vroam: As for the ring barking:thumbdown: could be kids with a nicked/borrowed saw messing about. Have seen that before.

I use it on tree stumps to good effect and young saplings.

I think there are reasons why its illegal tbh. I think if they did something about paying people to not work we might get somewhere, that and stopping benefits to 'single' mums with loads of kids .

Buy some roundup from b&q etc and spray it. The active ingredient is glyphosate so anything with that in really.

I like that:thumbup1: Nice and rustic simplistic type stuff. Impressed with the letter caving with the saw too.

Looks like a nice piece of kit:thumbup1: How does it compare to an old 110 jobbie? [ATTACH]42583[/ATTACH]

Its even worse when your getting charged business rates.
