Best quality version of this materpiece

 

 

What a great band to see live. Lucky enough to see  them on the Snakes and Arrows tour.

It's a bit wet in The Yorkshire Dales at the moment!

Tony Clarkin RIP. 

Used to listen to Magnum quite a lot back in the day. 

If they are Tubex you can take them to one of their recycling centres. 

Google Tubex recycling on internet for more information 

I've a sequoia, and agree, the bolts always seem like a weak point in a comfortable harness. Always felt a lot safer in the old Willans T22. Build quality was superb.

saw a few at Stafford, rush rainbow and ZZ Top and a Dio fronted Sabbath, proper cow shed, but better than Deeside leisure Centre, watching Whitesnake and Kiss with a blanket on the floor covering the Ice 

Would love to have seen Rainbow and Sabbath with Dio on vocals. 

A few from my metal detecting finds. All hammered coins. Pre 1660 ish.

Don't forget the pension benefits of being Limited. Especially if your nearing retirement age.

So 50ish years have gone buy, but with no disrespect to these original artistes what do you think of this song with the same ish name ? I'm sorry I just couldn't resist posting this reply.

 

 

 

Well, I've never heard of him to be honest. Seems quite blues based that particular song. Not quite my cup of tea, but I'm sure many people like it and I'm not going to knock it. Anyone who can appear on stage, singing and  playing guitar is a proper musician in my eyes. 

Going back to the 60s. Love The Seekers. Oh, what a voice you were blessed with, Judith Durham.

In my area I'd use rabbit spirals to protect against rabbits and voles. But, sometimes, it's better to just do as your asked!

If it's in grass, I screef before I plant (removed sod with spade) I'd be further up towards a £1. But it depends on a number of the factors already mentioned, and of course how much you want to make from the job.

What size trees your planting, and ground conditions (rocky, full of stones etc) I'd take both these into account before deciding a price. Personally, I think that price is  a bit too low. It's probably a bit late this season, unless your planting cell grown etc 

I've a 2013 L200. About 80000 miles on the clock. Had it about 7 years now. Had a new diesel tank a couple of years ago, as old one was weeping. Apart from that it's been no trouble at all, except for the usual leaf springs, brakes etc. Engine never missed a beat

What happens if you get a metal detector for christmas?

 

 

Detectorists find unexploded bomb near schools in Invergordon

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

The discovery led to a number of schools and roads being closed in Invergordon.

 

 

700 pupils get the day off school 

Do a bit of detecting myself. You never know what your about to dig up. Glass and farmers syringes are the worst for me. Always wear gloves. However, did find a mortar bomb whilst tree planting at a quarry once. Smacked it with my spade and said to my mate, 'what do you think this is?' Oops, finished work early, quarry closed and bomb squad out.

Yes, more than happy with it.

Have you been happy with it? I’ve looked at them all and it was between Posch, AMR and Thor and I think for the price Thor look good and I like the idea of the foot pedal and auto return. 

No more Radio 2 for me, I'll be following Ken Bruce to Greatest Hits Radio in April. 2 is rubbish now, and it's only going to get worse. Or perhaps I'm getting older!

I've had the Thor Alpini 8.5 ton for 3 or 4 years now. No problems at all with it 

This one is well worth a read.

On eBay, you can get Chinese type bare unit ones, running of makita batteries for around £65. Just got one. Not used it yet.

I have kindly been supplied a Panther Chain .325 mini, from Chainsawbars.co.uk to see how I get on with that instead of the Husky chain... So I will see how I get on with that.

Have you an update on the panther chain Jamie? Do you find it sharpens better than the Husqvarna?

Most things I've had with a kubota diesel have a 12v pump and you can hear it clicking etc as it pumps fuel just with ignition on

Cheers Chris

I thought the pump is mechanical the ticking is the fuel stop solenoid 

Thanks. I'm wondering if some are mechanical and some electric. A bloke on an Avant Facebook page had said his 423 has done exactly the same as mine since new. (not same engine, I know)

Whilst turning key, to ON. (Not heater plugs) is it normal to hear the continuous clicking of the electric fuel pump? Engine is Kubota D722. Never noticed it till now. Think it's normal, but would like confirmation please.

Going to see these old timers in November. A blast from my past!
