  1. Yep, Echo and Dolmar, love em.
  2. All of Sawtrolls. The End.
  3. I've found a new use for these posts - print them off, eat them and you sleep like a baby! Sleeping tablets
  4. You'll be rooting for Jeremy Corbyn then. To the Keyboard Warriors who within only 2 pages of this thread turned it into the same old same old left vs right issue, listen to these words: Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Unbelievable. Zzzzzzz.
  5. Tonne for hardwood, m3 for softwood; generally. That's what I've been led to believe...
  6. Can't get my head round the big lunch thing; I used to and wondered why I was completely knackered all afternoon. I was convinced I needed it to give me the strength for the rest of the day. On the contrary, for me anyway, big bowl of salad, maybe with hard-boiled egg or lean meat/fish is perfect; no slumps when you get home in the evening either. We eat far far more than we need to.
  7. That's the beetle...
  8. Lunch should most definately be light. However, a lot of people can't stomach the "breakfast like a king" before starting work i.e. pre 8am so need to fix something at 10. If this isn't possible, don't eat after 7pm the night before.
  9. There was that long video download from an Aus Stump Cutter guy on how to fix the breather tube problem on the GX670. Would run on one cylinder until sorted; slivver of black foam iirc.
  10. Much needed doing to it over the years? I found the sawn off chute restrictor on the garage floor the other day! Think I might have other bits lying around too lol. Not in that line of duty anymore with the very occasional exception; if I was I would. In fact my time with trees ends forever soon; hey ho.
  11. Hi Coletti, please refresh my memory; is it my old M500 you've got? I think it was.
  12. Will the cheapest chip the brash? If not, they'll need a waste carriers licence to " dispose of the parts responsibly". Put that in you reply email.
  13. :lol: did u mean to say that Jon?!
  14. This is odd as the 360 my mate just bought from R&T came with the (desired) Tsumura bar - 12" I think.
  15. Great post Standing price in 1981 - wow!
  16. Was there metal in that stump then?
  17. Take an anti-sawtroll tablet quick. You need the immunity before the infection tries to get you and steal your joy about your new saw...
  18. Yep and it can blind you if for example you strim some into your eye; full eye protection required. MOD R/A totally forbids strimming it...
  19. Definition of holiday?
  20. Bfg at's had a reputation for intergalactic mileages but I've heard they've softened the compound???
  21. Test results can take variable times to manifest I think. Just the potential risk makes it paramount to do what you can; not paranoia. From the following: Lyme disease (Borreliosis) | BADA UK 11. Testing In the UK, laboratory tests for Borreliosis consist of a two-tier system which detects antibodies to Borreliae. The first of these is an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). This test superseded the Immunoflorescence Assay (IFA) and is the most commonly used serodiagnostic screening method for Lyme borreliosis. If the ELISA is positive or equivocal, the sample is then tested with an Immunoblot, also known as a Western blot. Western blot, ELISA and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) can be performed on blood or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is obtained via a lumbar puncture. However, antigen capture in CSF can be extremely elusive; reportedly CSF yields positive results in only 10-30% of patients cultured. Therefore, the diagnosis of neurologic Borrelial infection should not be excluded solely on the basis of a negative CSF antibody analysis. The detection of Borrelia DNA using PCR can also be performed. This type of molecular test can be useful on joint fluids in cases of suspected Lyme arthritis, and on biopsies from suspected skin infection. It isn’t normally used for blood samples as Borreliae are rarely present in the bloodsteam after the early stage of infection. PCR isn’t favoured for CSF. All methods of testing have their limitations and can produce both false-positive and false-negative reactions. Antibodies may not be present for the first few weeks after infection so a negative test does not exclude infection. A second sample taken 2-4 weeks later may then go on to show seroconversion. In late stage disease, patients can be seronegative although this is considered a rare phenomenon. False-positive results can occur if the patient has antibodies to Bb without having a current infection (e.g. people who are occupationally exposed, such as foresters, or people who are recreationally exposed to tick bites). The significance of any result, negative or positive, should be interpreted carefully by clinicians in the overall context of a patient’s clinical findings and tick-exposure history. Other conditions such as glandular fever, syphilis, or certain neurological illness can also trigger a false-positive reaction. Other techniques for testing are in development but their clinical usefulness are the subject of debate and have yet to be adequately established.
  22. Ignore him/her. Doc's well known to have completely the wrong attitude about it. One needs to be sued to kick the whole diagnosis system up the bum.
  23. Piston scoring seems a major issue at the moment; lean seizing too... Bad mix (user)/ ethanol (3rd party) / other? Autotune, er, hum, ssshhhh. Never used to get these issues with old school saws.
