  1. Hahahaha! 'Wing mirrors in mint condition, never used.'
  2. Only joking! More cardio. More leg work. Less booze, especially on school nights. Drink more water. Eat better breakfasts. Make a decent pack-up instead of buying crap. Same as last years, really.
  3. I need to lose 70kg of useless fat. Does anyone know a good solicitor?
  4. That oak looks far too natural though. It needs topping out, crowning, and limbing up. I'll do it for £450k.
  5. Homocide? Jesus, don't go there if you're gay then. Newton, take that as fair warning.
  6. How can I rag the arse out of most of my saws every day using supermarket petrol and Stihls cheapo one shots and average 10 years out of them? I'm just curious how the fuel snobs see it? I want to cut timber, not fly to the moon.
  7. It's Hellish Jon. Stevie's found it so bad he's gone to Austria.
  8. Real same Will. You missed the opportunity to replicate the statue of 'Christ the Redeemer' over Rio de Janeiro.
  9. Where are you mate? I'm in Hamstreet, and the bluebells are amazing in the local woods in the spring. Been dark o'clock when I've finished recently, so I've missed a couple of weeks up there, but will have a nosy over Christmas. Been crazy warm, first time we've done the last day in t-shirts! Blowing hard at night, like.
  10. Great film Mick! I've run my saws on allsorts with no bother. Maintenance and a spot-on mix is more important IME.
  11. Turkey. It's Christmas! Decent butchers ham for Christmas tea and cold cuts. Doing a venison casserole for Christmas Eve.
  12. Baffled me as well Mick, makes perfect sense now. I've had a 25" on the 660 for a long time, been ages since I had to get the 36" out of the workshop. That said, we aren't really set up to do big trees, but how often do they come along anyway?
  13. I live in the country. We have virtually no gun crime, even though we all have guns. Perhaps they should build more fields and woods in towns?
  14. Does the radio still work though? Mine doesn't. Turned out my lass had vanaerial disease.
  15. Leaded of course. Slave kids don't run properly on healthy stuff.
  16. It's powered by Latvian orphans pedalling like you wouldn't believe. For thicker stuff you have to feed them Haribo.
  17. 30/31 and C1+E test will get your foot in the door quickest.
  18. Hahaha! No one will ever cap that mate! If only I had a vid.
  19. I meant I doubt anyone could beat that setup, then I remembered this isn't a big dick contest! I've shot since I was 9 on air rifles, then the usual progression through shotguns, .22's etc. I was obsessed with ballistics as a kid, and something I'll get back into one day. Working Dutchie will do me for now. If you get any 1200yrd retrieves give me a buzz!
