Far better than the old screw types which on certain machines seemed to self tighten. A little tip is to push the cap in before you turn it.

That's because we, sorry they usually pray on the ederly. No disrespect to old codgers, they are just more trusting than most. These scum don't represent any industry or race, they are just thieving scum.

Crew neck. Polo is uncomfortable for me when wearing a jumper.

Not if your stuck/sucked into picking the same numbers. The lottery know people stick to certain numbers, therefore they can exploit them. Therefore it is technically a con You do have a choice, you just don't control 100% of it.

Surely he should run a few dozen threads and put a couple of polls up first over the next 6 months before parting, or not parting with said cash? I say get it fixed and don't put it on the tool box again, it is just a bit of glass you know. But yeah, we have so much stuff stored in our phones it can be a bit silly really. Brilliant pieces of kit through, I can't really believe what you can do on a phone!

I'm not in the right frame of mind to repack in again, I have a wheelbarrow full of excuses atm. Good luck to all those that give it a go.

I quite like deadwooding large trees, mainly beech. Only when there is time on the job to relax, move about the tree and do a good job. Doesn't happen very often though.Makes a change from the bish bash bosh we usually do.

Great service from Mr Patel's news emporium.

Your telling me that you went out and just bought a mars bar without running a couple of polls asking which is the best handy sized chocolate snack and where to buy it from? Madness! -
Well there's something I didn't know! Thanks for the info:thumbup1:
-
Seems to be lots if threads about waterproof jackets atm. I remember watching a program called tomorrow's world. They had this magical material called goretex that repelled water but allowed sweat out! Surely someone can make a jacket out of it, it's hardly rocket science, or is it!

Have done it for years and has never caused a problem. If it did cause a problem you would see a lot more knackered machines about.

That stuff sinks! We just use whatever oil is easiest to get eh.

I just can't see the logic in that at all. Good on him for making a successful business, but as for not spending the money! No problem in running old equipment if you look after it and it is still economical compared to the cost of something new. I would rather have the cash than invest it in the business if I can help it as long as the business and me isn't suffering for it.

If your worried about your zigzag do as I've been doing lately, back it up with a prussik. You have all the efficiency of the zz and the safe and reliability of a prussik. that way when your zz finally implodes as they all do the good old prussik will still be there to save the day. Added bonus that using two climbing systems makes you twice as fast.

I've got to agree with that, plus the comment about the bow saw v chainsaw.
-
I'm thinking, Ron Jeremy's stunt cock. But yeah, balancing on half dead connies blows that out of the water every day of the week.

If you have no luck getting them repaired could be worth trying some of the grab adhesives a go. The ones you load into a gun, like silicone seal but a hundred times stronger. They flex and stick to almost anything. I think it's evostick that do one in a silver tube, ultimate grab or something. Less than a tenner and handy to have knocking about as you will only use a tiny bit.

I was thinking more along the lines of chippers tipping up backwards(had it happen when we have had to chip unhitched, can be quite dangerous, the grief of fitting or using stabilisers) jockey wheels rattling about and dropping, having to chock wheels on slopes etc. But, your probably right, I would be the one constantly driving off, forgetting to plug the electrics back in:laugh1:
-
I've never noticed it personally. Worked for a few firms over the years and no one has bothered to unhitch. Although for the price of a gas strut against the hassle of unhitching the chipper all the time I know what I would do. I would have thought speed bumps would be more of a culprit.
-
That has to be worth something. Getting customers is the most important thing imo.
-
Don't worry, you haven't upset me. I just couldn't believe anyone would be so stupid as to make a comment like that.
-
You really are clueless. I don't think anyone will be impressed with your little quip.
-
What a silly thing to say. So no one can express an opinion without acting upon it? Right then, I'm off to chop the hands of some thieves while you go and round up all the job robbing, wife eating, dog raping immigrants and kick them out of the country. Btw, just saw your last post, very bad taste.
-
What do you expect them to wear? Sack cloths and bark for shoes! There are tribes in the unknown forest of Congo, never touched by western man who have managed to get hold of man United shirts and reebok classics. Of course they are not just goat herding folk. Some if these foreigners do know how to read and write, and perform brain surgery and run a power station and be the director of a national business and cut trees and drop timber. I would rather help some of these people out than the fast majority of lazy good for nothing's who where born and bred in the UK who do sit on the sofa watching dvds while I go out and earn their keep.
-
I very much doubt that those people putting their children on those boats are doing it because they think they will get a better life. They are doing it because they are desperate and have no other option. It shows how terrible it must be where they live and how lucky we are to be born in the UK.
