  1. a fine thread folks:001_smile:
  2. 2 ropes are excellent on tall leggy stuff with not much of a centre, positioning is so much easier, i love the floating about feeling. managing your ropes well is a must.
  3. i bet max can swing a cat in your backgarden, mrs shrek is very jealous.i like the tree house mate
  4. The newer "quick fit" links are like a bigger version of an airline and are supposed to make life easier by just pushing together but can be an absolute pig if there is any residual pressure in either side of the hydraulics. they certainly can, i always have to take the spanners to my new ones to release the pressure:mad1:
  5. reg is a master at inventing suttle fancy gizmos:001_smile:
  6. if they want it they will get it, bad news yet again.
  7. well done mate, i have never done any comps, must be a bit nervy the first time. i have been to nz once 9 years ago and would love to go again with my family.
  8. i like to think of it as kindling, you only get it when the splitter is on its limit, you have to scratch about the sides to get a start. most of the stuff lying about the deck came off a horrible big nugy fork, that i abandoned and threw to the side to get with the saw. takes all the work out of the big stuff though:001_smile:
  9. i apologise frank, please accept my humble apologies:001_smile:
  10. you certainly know you stuff mate.

  12. i am a 2 can dan, maybe 3 after a big meal. looking forward to a meet up. i think we will need badges though. my memory is crap john:001_tongue: we dont need no stinking badbes:001_smile:
  13. the nfu clearly have a big difference around the country johny, the guy before willie up here wouldnt touch arb, along came willy, job done:confused1:i dont get it, i thought they would have a set of rules and a set of prices right across the board.
  14. freaky frank will be, his nasal cavitties have been burnt to bits with years of perming lotion in confined spaces, he craves a nasty niff:001_smile:
  15. some one is always watching, i am hoping monkeyd has finished his fourth bottle of plonk and has a massive sweary rant about traffic wardens:001_tongue:
  16. the keel plays a small part in the smell of my mog! it is a musky, effluent, slurry with a hint of rosemary and laurel. but mostly effluent:ohmy:
  17. i just totally avoided replying to that one huck:ohmy:
  18. ha ha thats where you are wrong frank, the farmer had some keel left over from lambing, proper job.
  19. please stay on topic johny, this is mog wars,
  20. i was with algarve for 8 years, they jumped my insurance from 900 a year to 9 grand overnight 5 years ago, i stuck with them for another 2 years because there werent any others about(or so i thought)i have never had a claim. the nfu, deal with farmers all day every day. i am not going to generalise or slag anyone off, but you need to get up early to get one over on them. they are generation after generation of hardworking, get your hands dirty businessmen, who dont take crap from anyone especially folk in suits. nfu all the way.
  21. i couldnt sell valerie joe, not unless someone wanted to buy it:001_tongue:
