Hi, not heard of it, sorry. Got an address? There are two airfields nearby with industrial units, one is Aston Down and the other is Kemble.
-
think you'll find it was a joke................
-
Presentation is a word steve, not the one I would use though! Who was the bloke doing it?
-
Yes, I did get that it was a joke, or "banter" from the audience. I was laughing anyway, but mostly at the stupid car that thinks its a range rover.
-
On the video, was it supposed to come out when the music stopped?? Seemed like a problem. If you turn the volume up you can hear a member of the audience say "they can't get the hand brake off"

Noddy was after one of those a while back, not sure if he got one already. Just think of the stuff he could make for us with that! Talking of which, I was in the pub the other day and a guy had with him (why he had it with I'm still not sure) a home made paragliding harness. Made out of old seat belts, ply wood and stiched riveted and gaffa taped together. Last I heard he was still alive.

They are not suited to our winters, especially last two years. They need to be strapped up and wrapped in bubble wrap for the winter if they are to have a chance of surviving. I got rid of two of mine this year and the other one last year, won't bother with them again.

Thats what was trying to say, maybe a couple of statics to back each other up.

Create long anchors over the wall adge using slings, and then attach to the end of those so that no moving parts run over the edge. Simples. 2 or 3 anchors should do, just like old school top roping on short rock climbs.

Cheers everyone. I would hope that I know Blackthorn as I've encountered plenty of that. Cockspur is looking favorite then, and the broad leaf variety me thinks.
-
ANy offer appreciated, tree looks like a hawthorn, its got some massive thorns too, but not sure what it is. Some kind of plum? Customer says definatly not plum. If I get the rest of the work at this house then I'll take more photos.
-
I can do that for you if you want, tell me the location and I'll send it to you as a jpg.
-
Yep, under the front end of the top handle is a little wire with a spade conection that may have come loose.
-
Similar to my insulting tape!
-
Maybe clean the oil pump with petrol and an air gun and empty the oli tank and blow that through as well?

Meant in the nicest way Hama.

Biggest tree you have ever been up and dismantled (uk only)

Its always interesting to check on arbtalk in the morning to see what time I got in the night before!!!!!! I only went out for a couple! Anyway, I meant its a Cock question, not that the poster is one. Don't know him, no offence meant. -
Thats one of the best saws theyh ever made IMO. I have one about the same age and its my oldest saw and most favorite. it now has an 18 inch bar and its aggressive to say the least. Oiling parts do wear out easily though. Check that the metal spiggot is actually turning the worm screw in the centre of the oil pump. sometimes they come apart from each other. As for boggign down, thats more likely a carb problem which is not my thing really. Try and get it fixed if you can its an awsome saw and you should be smiling when you use it. I think mine is better then my new ms460 which was supposed to replace the 044 but I still choose the 044 in the tree and not the 460.

And the fact that you are a fungi nerd.

You cock! -
The cat doesn't have an opinion because it is a CAT. I hope I'm brave enough to let my dog rest once his back legs give up, no wheels or silly things like that just to make me feel better about myself.
-
Thats the one! I do wish I had seen this tree before hand, but this was my first visit.
-
Yep, poor show !! Didn't even have a phone with me that day! Proper rubbish performance all round! Left a rake behind, and now can't find my 30 inch 066 bar!!? Also, lost some keys this week, my best sunnies, broke the spare wheel off the trailer and the roller shutter doors off the truck, and didn't put the fuel cap back on the chipper after re fueling (drove 20 miles but didn't lose it) Maybe the heat.

There were definatly some ganno wotsits and some other stuff...... Sorry about the photos, no battery so turned it on and took a pic, then repeated that 6 times before it wouldn't even come on.
