  1. Great! Thanks for the replies. I hope knowing the reason won't dull the amusement it gives me! Looks so funny when the bird then looks around for what it just chucked over its head!
  2. No I haven't been feeding them! But I've always noticed when a Pigeon eats bread for instance, rather than merely pecking at it and eating it, it will lob it over its head or in another random direction. Funny but why?!
  3. Chip / Fencing / possible bar... / Pallet
  4. If I ever see a 6800 cylinder I'll grab it!
  5. No, it dissed the OP, no need for attitude even if it is his opinion. Husky lovers! :001_rolleyes: Troll obviously means it with all honesty; all HIS honesty.
  6. Which husqs? I was being slightly facetious in my post above ;-)
  7. 560?! No. Pre-ordered one when it was due and prompltly cancelled the order when troubles began overseas before launch here. I will never own an autotune saw, ever.
  8. Helpful reply there then. Opinionated BS.
  9. Don't say we didn't warn you! Brand of saw and brand of 2-stroke Sorry to hear though.
  10. madness can you believe we live in an age where the length of the cord messes with a machines head :lol: Just get an Echo.
  11. Throw everything you've got at it! Urgent antibiotics, diet, sleep, the works.
  12. Haha, I had to have spaghetti hoops on white bread the other day for old times sake! They don't do Space Invaders anymore booo. Beans on Toast yum yum with grated mature cheddar, loads of butter...
  13. Isn't kiln dried inferior to air dried anyway since the kiln drying removes the lignin in the wood?
  14. And likewise in reverse. Pay from Natwest into Santander and it goes on holiday for 3 months!
  15. What possible justification could there ever be for using one form of energy to speed up the CV optimisation of another form of energy?! The sun and air are free, given for the purpose so to speak. People need to slow down, not speed everything up at state expense to realise short term unsustainable energy and nonsense zero-carbon policies.
  16. Fear not, they can't be worse than Natwest. Helpful Banking
  17. Are we talking 2x2 metre planting matrix? What area in ha? Work out an average vol per stick x the # of sticks. Will work out just as accurate as basal area which ime is often 20% over. There's a thread on here somewhere about single tree volume assessment. Uniform crop of drawn timber with little suppression; less anomalies.
  18. Exactly. Glad Matt aimed higher...
  19. I think in the majority, people shouldn't be; they should focus on what they are the very best at, removing other things to hobby catagory by process of elimination. A journalist would be an example of the extreme - a little knowledge about a lot - very dangerous. I'm all for sticking with one thing. I used to be in another industry for 20 years; people ask if I miss it; it's not a thought I give any time to because it's a distraction to focusing on the now. There used to be a clapped out lwb transit around here with green sign-writing on it along the lines of: "Gardening, Landscaping, Building, Kitchen & Bathroom Fitting, Plumbing, Painting & Decorating, Security, Site Maintanance, Estate Management & Control" :lol: I mean come on, what the hell is all that about?! Jack of all trades, Master of None would have said it so much better. In my work sphere if you have a new harvester, you're a driver. If you have an old one, you're a mechanic (and under it every weekend). It's not productive to be both but with a middle aged machine you end up being just that - and it does my flippin head in!
  20. Too right mate; everyone forgets the health hazards.
  21. Spot on Jon. You're right there mate.
  22. Flippin right. Nah, that's doing their job for them
  23. My next set will be General Grabbers
  24. The quieter the better! Hankook MTs have done me proud but drain you on tarmac; they are LOUD!
