  1. This is a relatively long but (in my sad life at least) a really interesting lesson in all that is the Jerry can!
  2. Save the dosh and get spannered boyo, that is definitely a better option! If you already have Makita kit then stick with them, you won’t go wrong.
  3. Exactly this! Labour did every possible thing to undermine attempts to slow down illegal immigration when in opposition, and petulantly canned the Rwanda option as soon as they came to power instead of giving it some support and testing the possibility of an actual deterrent working. They are the worst thing that could have happened to this country (which says a lot after the fingers-in-the-till arseholes they’ve replaced).
  4. Yet!!! What will do a lot will do a little….
  5. If you already have Makita batteries and chargers then get one of these - when you pull the trigger the world stops turning until whatever you’ve attached it to comes loose Mark…
  6. Try Digbits
  7. Should work but might make it a bit wide. How about a big lip on the blade to rest them on?
  8. Start a new thread with all the info - sounds an interesting situation.
  9. Peregrine’s favoured nesting site is at the top of a nicely pruned German pine, every twitcher knows that…
  10. They were called shifters on the Australian trawler I worked on 30 years ago.
  11. Is your battery charged and your flywheel free to turn? If you can’t turn it by hand then you need to clear whatever is blocking it (sometimes only a small piece of chip).
  12. Can’t they be buried in a bund at the end of the driving range?
  13. Can you get hold of the rack with needle nosed pliers and pull it gently?
  14. There are a few sheltered generations fortunate enough to have grown up with absolutely no exposure to fear, threat or sacrifice nowadays (including my own) - I don’t think it hurts one bit to keep this front and centre to hopefully instil some sort of recognition of what came before and what might be. I don’t see any sort of one-upmanship where I live for what it’s worth, and really don’t think it has become more of an ‘event’ than it ever used to be (I was actually thinking it had become quite the opposite which I find rather sad).
  15. ****************whittery of the highest order, what a pair of weapons.
  16. That puts everything into perspective, with all of the crocodile and lion attacks that take place every year in the UK… How do they compare to chav-dog attacks out of interest?
  17. This doesn’t look a bad buy for your job imo.
  18. I remember reading about this at the time - what a lovely thing!
  19. Burn as many tyres/caravans/chemical containers/thieves as possible that have accumulated over the last 12 months….
  20. Wrexham Radiators will repair yours or can also build you another one if you can’t get one off the shelf. Wrexham Radiators – Car Radiator Repairs North Wales WWW.WREXHAMRADIATORS.COM

    Cabstar

    Watch for rust pretty much everywhere in the cab (under the seats, in the footwells and up the rear panel are typical spots). Later engines with DPFs don’t do well if idled for any periods of time or used for short journeys - they need regular long runs.
  22. Why would you put anything with nails through it, surely you’ll just damage the blades?
  23. I’d avoid anything Husky battery driven - we have had problems with chargers and tools themselves, they are totally Micky Mouse. They make good petrol engined kit but I won’t spend another penny on their battery range.
  24. I wondered what had happened to that weapon? Makes sense now!… xx
  25. Bigger machinery hire companies tend to insist upon it in order to set up an account - as we have the policy in place for these it just seemed to make sense to use it. I never suspected we would end up with a damage claim, and had zero concern regarding theft or vandalism as it’s a very secure rural location. I’ve put it into my insurers and have had a very disconcerting email this afternoon suggesting they may refuse the claim because of the amount of time that has elapsed(!) so I’m really fed up with the whole situation now. And yes, the damage was very obvious!
