  1. we dont like huskys or stihls because they are pretty colours, its because they are quality tools, i just wouldnt like someone to waste there money, my mate has a fishery, he used to use b+q strimmers. he would go through about 3 a year . i finally convinced him to buy a big still, he has had it about 3 years now, it gets thrown in the shed every night, left covered in crap all winter then fires up for the next season. the members would grumble over a couple of extra quid for tools, but stand there in head to toe in goretex, with 1000quid rods.
  2. there goes the good bread knife, you are for it now dave!
  3. was going to take photos today but the nurse didnt want to take off the sterra strips, and to be honest it looked like a little cut, and i thought there is no chance i am putting that on here, and look for sympathy. especially since atree is in a wheelchair:sad:
  4. check the clunk(the thing inside the fuel tank thats sucks up the fuel)it should always fall to the lowest point in the tank, it may be caught up or something, that is the first place i would look, take it off and give it a blow. if you get it going sell it and buy a stihl or husky, if i spent 15 quid on a rod, bailer twine for line and a bent nail for a hook then asked an angling forum where i was going wrong, what do you think they would say?just a thought:001_smile:
  5. if i am going to go for a big bidoingy, i cross it over mate, then hang on. if those spikes come out you dont want to play:001_smile: firmans pole weeeeee!!!!!!
  6. mossy mushroomy thingy, lol i bet the wife was delighted to find that in the kitchen dave
  7. what a legend, i missed the chance of meeting fred years ago at a vintage tractor meeting, the old farmer where my boss had the yard didnt think we would be interested:scared1: now this thread started off as a bit of a joke, but remember guys, there are guys/men out there that can still do our job in a boiler suit and steal toe cap boots, and a bunnit.
  8. i was told if the stuff hit the fan then if you are on your centre your hips would get it rather than your back if you were on the ds, i try and work on my centre as much as poss. just a lot comfier imo. i would agree with pete with relation to your avatar, i know you were probably posing for the pic, but i would be higher up, if that gave a wobble and your strop slipped when on the dees it would be teeth off the stem. just my 2 cents, in no way criticising mate.
