  1. Why on earth would you not get it sprayed?
  2. No, because that would be cheaper, and we can’t have that, can we?
  3. Just kidding Matty! I’d rather turn my saw onto myself.
  4. Only £179 too. I’ve just ordered a couple.
  5. They are currently classed as commercial if the payload is over a tonne. A lot are used as ponce-mobiles though. You can tell my Transit is a genuine commercial vehicle from the smell of the cab.
  6. The trick is to use it regularly Dan, before the buildup gets too bad. Some of my retired Zubats look like ‘ninja stealth mode special edition’ models, in matt black.
  7. To be fair though Sviatoslav, you don’t look all that good for 48.
  8. That’s actually healed really well mate.
  9. I find Vernon easy to listen to. I have to turn the radio off when Scott Mills comes on, I prefer silence.
  10. @Donnie check this flail out. It’s got a baccy/Monster holder like your splitter! I’d have a Stella in mine for particularly rough jobs.
  11. I would be seriously interested as well William. Just need to find one you push instead of pull! @doobin how hard would it be to bastardise the linkage on an ATV one?
  12. I’d want £300 mate, but then I’m in Kent. I wouldn’t care if I got it or not though, which is half the battle.
  13. I think that is still pretty visible tbh.
  14. Meant to be good machines Jake. How are you transporting it? Let us know how you get on.
  15. I get that Alex, but at least I drink with these dolescum now and then. Could also be an “in’ for doing some of their insurance work.
  16. Just spoken to the local NFU office. £467. It’s a bit more, but I know them there so I’ll probably go with it, knowing the cover is bomb-proof.
  17. I’m surprised the grinder didn’t grab your balls Dan, because you’ve obviously got a fairly big set! Fair play to your surgeon for cracking on. Fantastic progress. Every 0.1mm is 0.1mm closer to where you want to be. Thanks for the update, your mindset will get you through this. 💪
  18. Get a 150 bar and chain Stu, and report back.
  19. This is the Klou rake you grab with the grab.
  20. Waiting for a call back from NFU.
  21. Cracking price though. I might glue 2 together so I’ve got a saw with a big blade.
  22. Why was the 170 ‘infamous’?
  23. Adrian Flux called me yesterday to discuss my quote, which I told them was unacceptable (It was double DL’s renewal quote at over £800). They said they would see what they could do. They then told me I had 2 claims in the last 3 years (I have none), and that I had owned the truck since March last year, rather than 2007. They then adjusted the quote to £1600. How do these people make a living? Several other companies have kicked off with ‘What’s your best quote so far?’ then got arsey when I won’t tell them. Hastings Direct were unable to give me a quote at all. Direct Line’s 50% increase is looking more attractive every day!

    Topical

    Absolutely Mick. Someone being diagnosed with cancer isn’t comedy though, whoever they are.
