  1. That is a great post, largely because it is sooo true. 10/10.
  2. Well, there's an MS230 that doesn't want to behave all the time but it's nearly redundant these days so no worries. Other than that the only thing coming close to broken is my neck but that's another story...
  3. This thread's descending worryingly into 'WHO'S on your bench today?' isn't it luvvies?!

    Frogs!

    Good one. I have a cousin who used to keep goldfish around the farm in the concrete water troughs.
  5. There's usually good weather to be had in October in the far North as that's grain harvest season. The east coast area north of Inverness - Dornoch, Helmsdale etc - may not be the most dramatic but it's quiet and still picturesque. Just don't think that because you've got to Inverness there's nothing beyond: John O'Groats is only 2.5 hours drive on.
  6. Sure was a nailbiter: 5 days play to get a result closer than most T20s.
  7. The weight difference is actually bigger than I thought: I was quoting for the M300 INT, which I have, and that's 145kg. The INT is no longer available; the straight M300 is 130kg. And my original maths was wrong; should have said 45kg difference, not 35kg. So.. CS100; 190kg M300; 130kg I'm sure weight isn't everything though.
  8. £4.5 + VAT give or take.
  9. The Jo Beau M300 is 35kg lighter than the CS100. I have no intention of starting a slanging match as I haven't seen the CS100 perform but 77lbs weight difference may mean something to you. To me it's the difference between being able to drag the chipper onto the pickup bed and not being able to, so I have the Jo Beau.
  10. Is that simply an infected shoot or something that could potentially be propagated like a sport?
  11. That's a silage cart!
  12. I'll defer to your expertise on the smell of sweaty maggots but the greenbottles were round the roots in numbers, presumably attracted by the foul stench.
  13. Hope this helps. They're dropping like flies: I took one down in Epping on Tuesday and the stump/roots were similar to yours and boy did they honk when ground. Robinia pseudoacacia ?Frisia? problems / Royal Horticultural Society

  15. When they're tipsy enough you can casually mention that now's the time to prune it; very gently with lots of small cuts, nothing big.
  16. The 2nd pic's telling me it's a Magnolia. I think. Or were you after the species more than the genus?
  17. What a surface. Are you concerned about it being slippery in the wet? Mr H&S me!
  18. Can't wait to be hand digging a pair of 3'x3'x3' holes in Epping tomorrow - after removing the small declining trees first. After the tree stuff PPE will be steel caps and sun cream.
  19. Bear in mind that the reg no. can be changed, the VIN no. almost certainly not. Think of them in similar terms to the IMEI and Calling Number of your mobile. Jon
  20. Does Aspen work too?!
  21. Sticky Stuff Remover from Lakeland Plastics works well and leaves you smelling lovely afterwards (lemon).
  22. Evening Graham. I'd love to help but this is an old thread! Maybe someone else in the Surrey/Kent/Sussex/S.London area can help...
  23. Fair point but 'twasn't me guv. The dusty pic looks worse than it was for the cutter; it wasn't bl;owing in his face but when you take hours of cutting into consideration, done day after day yeah, you're probably right. Jon
  24. Yeah regia is the common one but cinerea has the alternative name of 'white'.
