  1. I worked as a nursery worker for abit, then did a stint cleaning out chicken sheds on chicken farm. Then got a job doing tree work, and went to college for 3years also. When im having a bad day i always think back to how crap it was cleaning out chicken sheds.
  2. So when your having a bad day, in the pouring rain, climbing around prickly bushes. You think back to that factory job and suddenly things dont seem to bad
  3. I dont get the problem people have with the stihl caps?
  4. Some old heavy steel ones here, with velcro top pads. They fell off the back of a SWEB van many moons ago lol They do the job.
  5. As much as i want to try the new husky, i have acsess to old 200t i can break for parts to fix my current 200t, plus the dealer is only down the road. Husky dealer is abit more of a drive...
  6. I do my own, or my dad does it. Easy really when its grade2 all over.
  7. You can over grease something, read somewhere it can lead to heat build up. Being an entec, i assume like timberwolf chippers there bearings are non greasble. I agree with you though that bearings can last alot longer than 5years.
  8. Sorry to here of your loss. Its always this time of year i remember and miss those loved ones who have gone the most.
  9. Usually what i do, by the time ive sat in the doctors or hospital i could of dug it out with a knife or needle. Poor on abit of TCP once it come out, jobs a good'n
  10. That is cool, faiplay to the man Riko make a bigger one though, dont think it has a crane though Cant watch it on here, just watch in on youtube.
  11. Yep i enjoy it when i have the time, usually its abit of a rush though. Xmas/roast dinners got to be one of the easiest meals to knock up. Write out your timings on everything then just put it in as and when. Cant go wrong really always tastes better when cooked yourself to
  12. Im 19 and still live at home, but since my mum left about 5years ago ive had to cook for myself. Like to think i can knock up a nice bit of grub when i want to. Usually just settle for pasta/potato based dishes just for quickness though... Maybe have take away once a fortnight, rest of the time i cook for myself... saves me alot of money.
  13. Well all the harriers are up for sale, sure you could get your hands on one of them lol
  14. We got a sky package, tv, phone, and internet. Not sure how much we pay but we saved money by combining it all into one package.
  15. disco 3 has awsum traction control! Just let it do its thing...
  16. They do say only travel if absoulty nescesery. Often it is not the vehicle, it is the driver. We were snowed in today, so i took the 40min walk into town to see some friends and buy some food. There were 4x4 vehicles unable to pass areas where 2wd vehicles had just been. Abit throttle happy, and no clutch control. I couldnt help but chuckle at the 4x4 drivers misforutne.
  17. This time of year i have Shreddies that have been in the microwave for a couple mins, yum
  18. I know a few people who have stopped advertising in the yellow pages.
  19. Some random woman stopped me in the street today and started telling me a joke. It had all the ingredients of a good joke: child abuse; incestual rape; tears and suffering; but I didn't understand the punchline. Something about £2 a month?!!!
  20. No, but i dont think the two "actions" are comparable.
  21. Do you want a medal or something?
