I did get one for my bro, and one for myself. Unbelievable value for money. Cheers @scbk

Sounds good to me, although MGM is nice and catchy. Problem is when you get too successful a team of American lawyers will appear in a huge Humvee and take you for every penny you have.

That’s the 13/75G, not the 18/100G, and yes, the discharge height does make it very limited.
-
I would also add that the Greenmech CS100 is more manoeuvrable than all of them, and feeds better than the TW18/100G because of the drum design.

I’ve had all 3 models mate. The difference between the 18 and the other two (which are pretty similar) is night and day. It’s prep speed and snedding where he 18 loses out, although it is a good little machine. The price will reflect this, obviously.

Just calling it how I see it mate. If you can point out the bits where I’m most wrong I’m always prepared to listen to a good argument. -
My view is if Scotland wants independence why should anyone stand in their way? Of course the only people who should vote are Scots. Is it a good idea for Scotland? Possibly, possibly not. Remember I’m from Northumberland, so have plenty of mates over the border. My worry for them is that I think Sturgeon and her cronies are the least able people to run a piss-up in a distillery, let alone lead Scotland to a bright independent future. I actually think she’s a dangerous, egotistical maniac who would paint her face blue and drag you back to the dark ages. A true champion of the ‘working class’ i.e. people who don’t and won’t. The SNP should get rid of that evil little bitch, get a good leader in and adopt some more moderate policies. Support would rise massively.

Police informed. -
How mature, what sort of species? I would imagine the top end of the scale is virtually unlimited. People like Ruskins, Practicality Brown or Majestic might be able to give you some ballpark figures.

I doubt it mate. I’m pretty sure @Rich Rule had the same problem and they wouldn’t play ball. Apparently if we had told them we didn’t want the 107 added we would have been ok. openspaceman I would do a bit of checking with them before renewal. I would want to know exactly what was coming back.
-
I am certain I had 12t on my old paper licence and when I updated it they added the 107 without any consultation. It doesn’t actually affect me, but it’s still a bastards trick. What if I’d being working for a firm running 7.5 tonners and big chippers?

Never tried sharpening, but does anyone have any magic tips for de-gunking the blade? Especially conny resin. I’ve tried petrol, WD40, wire brush, wire wool, brillo pads etc. but have never been that happy with the result.

How do they make the eye strong enough then?

Make The BBC a TV subscription (pay as you go) channel

I like the way you can get a 50% discount if you're blind. -
Great thinking outside the box. Should have two ropes, mind.

Is that in The Dolphin?

The HSE would be better off putting their time into checking up on gypos and cowboys operating with impunity.

Falteimer folding cube - fibreglass leg replacement?

Gustharts still do them. I would give them a call. -
Disgraceful mate, modern day slavery.
-
They are paying them anyway. Just means they have to take their boots off the dash for a bit.
-
Simon might be a good bloke to ask mate.
-
Aye, very dead indeed.

I do it in brothels.
