  1. No way, I decide what goes into my body and no one else.
  2. I,d have busted his face wide open.
  3. Did he do a handbrake turn and leave skid marks?
  4. My thoughts as well, based on the posts I cant see it.
  5. Just put the nifty towards a new saw.
  6. Sorry that was rude of me. Not sure of youre question.
  7. Well said, nice one. It,s not just themselves they kill!
  8. With all due respect, five years is a relatively short time. Stihl advise in manuals to warm down allowing heat to discipate.
  9. I have always kept my log piles low for fear of people (trespassers) injuring themselves. My yard has a frequently used footpath running alongside and I know people go in. My question is, do I need insurance?
  10. I,ve always used Stihl oil at 50:1, let the saw warm up on tickover and warm down on tickover. Never had a problem yet.
  11. Whats next when youre backs turned, something through the chipper other than wood just to see what happens? You did right to get rid.
  12. Tied a dead cat to a mates transit exhaust manifold. Took him two days to twig.
  13. It,s an old one but still makes me laugh, wrap some dogshite in newspaper, place at someones front door, set it alight, ring the door bell and run. They wont know whats inside until they,ve stamped out the fire.
  14. They,ve changed the wording a bit since my last arguments with them, but scroll down to Annexe1 take a bit of time to digest it like I had to, and then go to "Collection and Transport".
  15. Same as., and I admire youre stance. Keep it up but I know youre on a loser.
  16. I know how you feel, but for fifty a year is it worth it. Just look at it as an involuntary contribution to the EA.
  17. The previous contractors want shooting for creating such a fire hazard. Well done you have a good eye for level:thumbup1:
  18. Dont be fooled. You have to pay it end of I,m afraid.
  19. You never know.you might be sitting on a fortune:bootyshake:
  20. I had one turn up on a midweek morning still drunk from the night before and expecting to work around saws all day. We parted company there and then,should have seen his face.
  21. All we need is youre avatars phone No.
  22. I thought along these lines, if nothing more than to get one over on the govt.What you say is true.I thought maybe bump the quote up by a tenner to leave the debris and an obvious reduction to remove.Youre qoutes would in effect remain the same but the customer would think he,s getting something for nothing possibly swinging the job youre way.And on top of that youve saved £150.
  23. Now thats what you call a chipper.
