    I was thinking the same thing. A bit of a cants trick that.

    So you made a note and took a photo of all the cars that were parked there when you arrived, not when you got back to your car? I say tough, I hate it when people park were they shouldn't.

    Tbh I wouldn't dare suggest it to anyone especially if your not going to put the first £500 in. What do they need a mini bus for anyway and why does it need be brand new? Are you selling one?

    Come to think of it no, not a head torch in sight! Looks like a serious amount of rain there Matty! Hope it doesn't get worse.

    There are too many maniacs out there. Just today I saw a guy without a bobble hat on and it was pissing it down!!!

    Unfortunately so, while they happily carry out as little work as possible on their own stock(obviously some LA's do put some effort in) what I was taking about was them saying all over hang which isn't correct unless section 154 says so?

    Well if you've found a new way of doing things and it's working out better then sounds good to me. in regards to Mick with his two carabiners. I don't think the prussik is a good idea, can't see it being any better than just clipping a krab straight on to the main line. Only time I've seen groundies really struggle to un clip a krab is when they don't give themselves any slack.

    Is that something the LA told you to do? If you remove that stem it will cause decay that will shorten the life expectancy of the tree.

    Its simple mathematics. Twice as much as you would use in a stew for one. How much of it should you eat is the real question. I say reckon the answer is 42.

    I think the poor sod would burn in hell for eternity according to some religions for not recognising a God. Is it too much to ask that people just be nice to each other rather than lying and telling them they have to do this that and the other or they will suffer an eternity of red hot pokers up the bum? Plus if they aren't nice in this one and only life then they do get a poker up the bum until they drop dead.

    Maybe we are all reading too deep into this. I reckon the archbishop just got a pair of crappy socks from jc last Christmas and is pre empting this years gifts. I always doubt presents from my nan.

    I remember along time ago.. Motocross guys used to use old fuel as they said it was better. Iirc it's the oil that degrades with time, ie the petrol breaks it down. Would be interesting to experiment but I never have the time.

    Ditto, has he only just got himself a tv? If there is a God, all I can say is he is a massive under achiever.(quote robbed and changed)

    They don't battery farm them do they, like they do with lambs and stuff? Looks great Ian. I like natural timber but I think some paint would look good..

    Ah, missed the last sentence which was the most important. Will your file foot other steel? I have had some chains harden due to hitting steel but with good file you can get past the hardened bit. Try the next sized down file to get a start. You should still post a pic up of your chain.

    I'll guess stihl sealed the gearbox up not to reduce the life of the equipment but to extend it due to the number of people screwing the gearbox up by not greasing it. You could always strip the gearbox down and re grease it.

    No offense but are you Kate moss twenty years ago? Still hiflex roomy! They are the tightest trousers known to man, only challenged by sip freedoms, the ones with the rainbow stitching. Tbh I would get yourself down to your local supplier and try some trousers on.
  18. Mesterh
    As above, very well said.
  19. Mesterh
    Had this happen a few times over the years. Never had to do more than pull the plug out, turn the saw upside down and give it loads of pulls to get the water out. Change the fuel and they have been good to go. I very much doubt the carb needs stripping down.

    Can you post a picture of the chain? Depth gauges don't need dropping do they? Don't get disheartened, loads of professionals can't sharpen a chain to save their life.

    Monkey Puzzle

    Mesterh replied to Midge's topic in General chat

    Dont know if its been mentioned but the branches are very heavy, heavier than you think. Ok if your the climber felling it, not OK if its any other scenario than the above

    You do realise that literally billions are spent each year on de veg for the railway network. Leaves unfortunately do cause problems Blame the way the train sticks to the track than the leaves. Sounds ridiculous that a massive train can succumb to a leaf but just think about it for a second,, I bet we have all at one point slipped on a leaf.

    Make sure you give us detailed information on which channel and what time your on please.

    Couldnt agree more I dont have any old ones left, but I do remember a favourite screwgate that was a fairly biggish sort of offset D shape with a purple screwgate. Anyone know who made that one?
  25. Mesterh
    I'm impressed that the truck actually ran!
