  1. I could have written that post myself Magic Rat. I get on well with my machine, but it's a bitch to transport, and the ram does stop far too high above the plate. I split on top of one or two scaffold board offcuts.
  2. Great game though Mick. Class try by the Boks to steal it.
  3. Get to bed. Anyone who has drunk more than me isn't worth listening to.
  4. Word. As Steve said, it's not on the price of the whole policy. Get a grip here, we keep banging on about not being seen as professional.
  5. Arbtalk is all about opinions mate. I value yours.
  6. Wasn't a pop mate, you only pointed out what German technical geniuses have stated. Us production lads are obsessed with speed, maybe we forget that it's not such a consideration for less commercial endeavours.
  7. I've just listed it on eBay for £5k, buyer collects, after depositing funds into my Nigerian account. Can you PM me the location of the lay-by please?
  8. 2 Stellas in and I've lost the plot already! I see that A) your comment was aimed at Richard, not me! B) you're in West Wales, so transport would be an arse!
  9. There's no stupid questions mate, only stupid answers.
  10. I got rid of my Buxtons catalogue after some of the pages got stuck together.
  11. I use my mates when he's loading, really nice cutting height. I normally just fire into my stack at head height! I could use one at the right money, though, but the transport might kill it. Where are you mate? PM me how much you want for it if you like, or stick it up here so someone more local to you could pick it up. (Don't put it on here if you're in Kent or East Sussex!). Richard, you can buy a cheapo one for £50 delivered, which isn't much more than a 16" bar and chain would set you back. Spud knows his stuff. A 170 on a 16" would be like watching intercontinental drift.
  12. 16" would be too much for a 170. Change your saw horse to this type instead.
  13. Oosh! It's dirty, but in a goooood way!
  14. I usually service a couple of Playboy girls with my 12" morning glory then have a quick chat with my brokers and hedge fund managers. Leisurely dip in my private lake, towelled off by some volunteer girls from the local model agency. I normally call my helicopter pilot while I have my breakfast cooked by Marco Pierre White, just to give him site coordinates and warm the chopper up. Then I wake up. Listen to eldest daughter (4) row with mummy about what is a suitable time to get up / get in our bed. Snooze for 22 seconds. Get up and change Twin1's nappy. Prepare morning milk bottles (which are on the bedside cabinet). Change Twin2. Give twins milk, my wife always takes the easy one. Change Twin1 (she's shat herself again). Downstairs, make tea, feed dog and cat. Run upstairs, change Twin2 (she's shat herself again). Constant soundtrack of 4 year old rowing with mummy about clothes/hair/brushing teeth etc. throughout. Downstairs, tea, oats-so-simple if I've time, out the door. Back in the door, I'm still naked. Get dressed, out the door. I'm having a fry-up on Saturday.
  15. Tidy work Dogg. Wouldn't want to be your calves in the morning!
  16. You're a handsome devil though, you get you chicks for free.
  17. True dat. Same species exhibit different densities throughout the tree, and dependent on growing conditions.
  18. 1) yes 2) yes I haven't got my company name on my crotchless leather briefs though, does that matter?
  19. I'd want £300. Whores have definitely outstripped woodcutters in the wages stakes.
