I now consider this thread almost an "act of supreme divine intervention". I'd never given ticks much thought until I read this thread starting yesterday. From there I read the BADA-UK page and recall a young woman I once met with Lymes disease who was truly in a terrible state - life changing illness. Gave me the shivers. Went to visit a friend this afternoon and to cut her hedges in the garden. My Wife had one of her cats on her lap and found a lump on its head... Friend thought it was an absess from a fight... I took a loot at it and it suddenly dawned on me that this grey sack was a tick; the giveaway was the pattern on the body - the grooves as such. Jumped on phone to get google images of tick - confirmed. They went promptly to the pet shop just in time before it closed and got a set of the specific tick-removal-tools (pictured). Held the poor moggy real tight and followed the destructions - out it popped; wasn't sure I'd left the mouthparts in the moggy or not until we put the vile bug into a jam jar and had a better look (pictured). Took a video of it crawling around the jar and then decided it should learn to swim in some nice nail polish remover aka 100% acetone; result. You can see the wound site in the last pic - looks ok for now. Had I not read this thread; had it not been posted......................

Not for tweezers but does for the recommended tool: Tick Removal: Tick-removal tool | BADA UK You will never believe what I'm about to post on this thread; it is uncanny... hang on...

How serious is the connection between them and lymes disease? Knew someone with the latter - horrendous...

Cos they're outboard?!

Yeah they never get picked up at all, can't be bothered using the easy-lift harness every time. Niko uses these to stop his trawler from drifting in a gale.

2nd that. Like Russel Brand, 24 carat 🐓

That old chestnut.

He has to be the most insincere man on the planet.

I wouldn't want anything else. Scatterbrained electro carb, constant clutch spring failures, melted top cover and chain brake, nightmare reliability. You could get a 115 if you're not worried about some extra vibes.

He who just got the job and said back in the moment that he wouldn't do it. Can't trust a word Ce says.

Last pic; GB Titanium Bar; where from? Thanks.

Good point.

Why bother with finance then?

Pm Shavey on here...

Yes but if you put less deposit down, you can keep the difference back to cover the higher repayment or use for other things; atleast that way the money is in your hands and not theirs. What they haven't told you is that say you borrow £10k over 3 years ex deposit so reckon on £4k a year inc interest and then after a year or two you default due to circumstances and they repo the machine, all the money you paid into the repayments plus deposit i.e the equity doesn't come back to you at all - you don't get a penny of that back! Plus you have to settle the full balance and they'll auction the machine off cheap. Only way out of this is to sell the machine to settle the outstanding finance and pay em off. Just be careful; it's not like houses.

Can get a good 500+ m3 to a chain sharpen in good conditions; 1500 cuts a day... (in 10' bars)

No they want to make more money. AF sees large deposits, early repayment etc as bad custom and it does nothing for your credit rating. I'd have said 20% tops.

Just like forestry then! Except it seems nice when you're buying something! £10-11k in 2008, £7200 in 2015?! That's a huge drop against inflation...

Bring it on! About blinkin time.
