Er - oh yeah. It's just not what I think of as social media; I probably would if I did Facebook, Instagram etc Is texting social media? I do that sometimes!

Same here except instead of 40 years ago make that 8-10. No more greenfinches, goldfinches, siskin etc. Even the woodpeckers have almost gone. Until last year there were always a couple of dunnock in the garden - just 'there'; they don't stand out. Gone. Yes, we have cats but they rarely hunt and we've been here 23 years, always with cats; the almost catastrophic drop in bird numbers in very recent.

I don't do social media so don't know what Arsebook is like but - really? How the **** do people find something to moan about in such an arrangement? The silent majority - including myself of course - will be right behind you: good effort, nice gesture. Well done ? Same goes for @Timbertom111

I suspect goldcrests are more numerous and widespread than we give them credit for. I see them a couple of times a year here on the North Downs; they're very small and my eyes are shite so no way am I going to catch them every time they're here.. The cats have even had one the little sods.

More likely; I didn't pick up on the white flecks - thought they were a trick of the light!

I'm no expert either but Thuya, probably plicata - Western Red Cedar

Sure I've seen that surname somewhere...?

It doesn't matter what trousers you're wearing if you keep the saw away from your legs - that's the best protection of all! But a bit more seriously - the Yukons are up to standard so go for it.
-
Well to be called chainsaw trousers they have to meet criteria so yes, they are good enough to be called chainsaw trousers. They don't last long in a day in, day out commercial environment but as doobin said they're cheap and comfy - perfect for home firewood cutting.
-
Seconded. I wore them for years and it's like wearing heavyweight jeans they're that light.

Especially when it's from a hy crack ?

Don't you just hate it when your splitter stools?! ?
-
Once the wood gets to any sort of size you don't so much split euc as destroy it - with a splitter anyway. It often helps to split it tangentially instead of radially - separate the growth rings instead of trying to split from heart to bark.

A q for @Pete B or @GA Groundcare perhaps. Just how sensitive are wee chippers (Jo Beau M300) to the grind angle on the blades? I fitted newly sharpened blades this morning and the machine just won't drag any material in. I've played with the anvil gap (I set it narrow to start with)) but no difference. Having now whipped the blades off again and compared them to the blunt set they replaced I can see that the upper face angle is maybe 3 or 4 degrees wider than on the blunt ones. You can see that the bad blades weren't ground back as far as before. Hopefully this is the cause of the lack of performance (along with the fact that the wrong 'uns aren't actually that sharp!) If not I'm a bit stuck. The likelihood is I'll send the bad blades back for a free re-sharpen and the blunt ones will go to GA Groundcare cos you're cheap!!! Thanks, Jon

Yikes. I take it you had to raise the bucket when loaded too to get round the right angled bend

I wasn't going to say it but... ?
-
When you said the cost of 'sorting out a chainsaw cut was £30,000' the impression given was that you were referring to the cost to the hospital of administering treatment. Hence my questioning it. Sorry, my crystal ball failed me; I didn't perceive that you were talking about the cost of a hypothetical court case as well; you didn't mention that bit! Bad crystal ball ?
-
How do you arrive at such a high figure? I paid for a knee arhroscopy last year - that was £9k I think and £3.5k of that was for the anaesthetist, not needed for stitching up a chainsaw cut.
-
I know that much but you said further up the page there was a legal obligation on a hospital: I asked what that was.
