  1. Quick update. Had the op yesterday, but more involved than I'd hoped. Washout, chondroplasty, and loads of microfracture. Crutches for 4-6 weeks. Pain is ok, doing very light physio already. It's the little things that are annoying me already, like making brews and people calling me when I'm doing important research on Pornhub. My wife has taken the kids out for the day, they were jumping on me and nicking my crutches.
  2. Can anyone put a picture up of the rear attachment hook? I want to know if I can quickly sling it one handed without adding an extra crab, a feature I love on my 540.
  3. Ouch John! Have you got a rib support? Usually elastic with Velcro. They're not the be all and end all, but it helped me a bit in the first few weeks back after busted ribs. I had the same concerns as you about painkillers, but was told that taking Ibuprofen is beneficial. Hope you get on top of it mate.
  4. Taking one for the team mate!
  5. Don't forget though Paul, you need unapproved hackers like me doing rapey tree work to make the approved guys look better!
  6. Maybe it was the man not the machine mate!
  7. We're jesting about it, but I remember receiving my first text message in the mid '90's, and thinking 'this will never catch on'!
  8. 😩😩😩😩😩
  9. But the pump I bought said '1 careful owner'?
  10. I'm thinking it would be an advantage in more gardening type stuff, Mrs. Miggins is where the money is, and de-limbing connies and such. I've got 3 other toppers with 12" bars if I need them.
  11. Oh I'd want the .043 cutting gear.
  12. I've only read about the 8" bar on the spec sheets. I haven't seen anyone offering one yet. Are you there Rob Dyer?
  13. Have you been stalking me Richie?
  14. It's what teenage girls do when they take selfies.
  15. How's the size/weight compare to the 150 Joe? I really fancy one running an 8" bar.
  16. Anyone running an 8" bar?
  17. Blossom is a sign of sexual maturity in a tree. Don't go all Adam Jonhson on me.
  18. Have you talked to them? You need to caress their butts.
