Statistically, most of us are average climbers. The great ones can obviously climb and work very quickly, but are always thinking 'how can we complete this job in the fastest time possible?'. No point bombing stuff down in massive lumps for overstretched groundies to deal with (and we've all done it!).
-
Spot on. I should recy climb more often.

That's a very keen price Les. Has anyone actually noticed a difference after swapping out to a solid?

Well played Wales, gritty stuff. England beat themselves, dishing out 3 points here and there like confetti. Looked like a load of 8 year-olds who don't understand the basic laws of the game in the breakdown at times.

That was your lass. You're getting senile.

Z 43 if Marcus threw it.

I've just checked my quotation procedure, and that one came up with 'someone else's problem'....
-
Uninitiated, my bad.
-
Aye. Don't cut yourself.

If there is one thing the initiated can take from this thread it is the danger posed by the above. Joking aside, it could get nasty.

Word.

You lot are sick puppies! I'm not really a dogger Mick. Yet... When I think what my hobbies are it's actually pretty depressing. It's just a list of great stuff I used to do. Shooting, game and clays, snowboarding, rugby (retired very early), football (retired early), gigs, pubs, fun etc. Now it's mainly kids and boozing when they've gone to bed. And servicing kit. I like that though. One life, live it.

I think Joe has a second job at night Steve.

Graft is the key here my friend. I probably smell like a puffs armpit at the start of the day, but a puffs arsehole at the end of it.

I'd like to hire a mill without a bloke!
Mark Bolam replied to Relative amateur's topic in Milling Forum
Good call mate. You'll learn more in a day than you'd think. Milling is essentially pretty simple, but to do it well and efficiently is something else. I doubt there's anyone out there milling who couldn't pick up new tricks here and there, simply because timber is so organic. Even the very experienced lads wouldn't say they knew it all. -
Wet field and planting 2mt oak trees will this help

No worries pal. -
You'd be first in the queue to buy my new fragrance 'l'eau de macrocarpa' Joe. I'm hoping to launch it before Christmas, John Lewis and everyone will stock it. Packaging is everything, so the bottle will look like a small combi can. A second fragrance can be stored in the oil bit, but I haven't decided what this will be yet. I'm leaning towards 'rotten horse chestnut sawdust', but I'm just not sure.

Drainage. -
All of the above. Also always look for something to do. If you can't see anything, ask. Don't pretend you can do something if you can't, no one likes a blagger and it can be expensive. Don't play young people's music in the truck. If there's no guitars involved it's not music.

E-crack pipe not worked for you then son?
-
You work on your own don't you. How much is it for just the one?
-
Dogging.

Thanks Eddy. I do know the drill. I've checked the forum rules and I'm meant to slag off Huskys for the next couple of years and bang on about how great Stihl 201s are....
-
It sure does.

They seem fine. I've had the clutch drum fly off twice when revving the saw without the cover on to check the oiling before. Never did find all them needle bearings. I'll not be doing that again.
