  1. Well, mine's going like a dream. Had it about 6 or 7 years, and only had to replace a couple of sets of heater plugs. I'll be buying another.
  2. Right on the Pennine way, about quarter of a mile from where they make the 'famous' Wensleydale cheese, and about a mile away from Hardraw Scarr, Englands highest unbroken waterfall. Yorkshire born and bred
  3. Iv'e spoken with Graham in the past and have also used orange plant (York branch) I got a very good service and have no complaints. Will be taking mine to Orange plant if I get any problems. Credit where it's due and all that.
  4. I'm left handed and always start the saw with my left hand doing the pulling. Doubt if I could start it with my right.
  5. Unfortunately, all your bracken won't be gone, but you might kill the vast majority. Make sure you go over the same area for the next few years. You should find that it gets less and less each year, until it's finally all gone. otherwise, the bracken will gradually come back. least, that's the experience I've had with the stuff over the last 15 years or so.
  6. My fault. Thought it was a new post.
  7. A couple of points here. All unused asulux must be returned to supplier. So you should be returning it, not stocking up. Ramsey7: In no way does glyphosate give better results on bracken than asulux. The reason that there was such uproar when asulux, was banned was because there was nothing better. Can't understand why you say glyphosate is better for the environment than asulux
  8. I have an old willans t22 full body harness that I still use on occasions. Being absolutely brilliant. So, I bought a new willans t22 (not full body) and I hate it. It just wants to fall off me all the time. Tempted to just buy another full body willans.
  9. pasta and mushy peas. Been using the peas up all week. Had them for dinner as well. Going down for a frame of snooker shortly. Pity, the lads in the snooker room.
  10. A union. The thought appalls me. Paying a subscription to union bosses who are on a good earner, with nothing better to do than cause trouble and strife. Not for me.
  11. Saturation is mainly caused be colleges churning out students, some good, some ok and some rubbish. It was my experience at college in the early 90's that even the rubbish students got their tickets, as it reflected badly on the college's if not a lot of people passed. I'm talking about more than one college here.
  12. One day the powers that be will decide that your current CS units need to be replaced, like the 'old blue book'. Perhaps, because there was little or no instruction in how to blow your whistle correctly, or because no mention is made of the need to empty your bowels before you erect the tree. More common sense and less red tape is what's needed.
  13. I had same problem with a timberwolf. New axle cured it.
  14. Agreed: a great bit of British propaganda. Watched it as a kid, and again a few months ago.
  15. Agreed, takes me back to the 80's. Pre brushcutter days, when we used a sickle all the time. Wasps nests and all. Sickle blight was quite common in those days too!!!
  16. Can't really help with suggestions, but omeprazole really worked for me with my stomach ulcers. I got the helicobater results within 10 minutes of having camera down (negative) Ulcers were caused in my case by painkillers.
  17. Don't think I'll be renewing my CHAS this year. But if you do go ahead, fill in the forms yourself. Its not that hard. Don't waste £350
  18. You definitely are showing your age. I think monsters of rock, is the same as download, but stand to be corrected. Uriah Heep and UFO are still doing the business. Love heavy rock. Them guitar solo's just blow me away. Favorite bands include: UFO, Rainbow (with Ronnie James Dio) Sabbath (again, with Dio) MSG, Y&T Can't stand this modern metal. Think I'm showing my age too Long Live Rock N Roll
  19. Das Boot (excellent ww2 series) The Maltese Falcon (great oldie) like someone else said, the Swedish trilogy, girl with dragon tattoo films are great. world at war. Just about the best documentary series ever made. American Pie films are just up my street too
  20. I agree. My old ch25 chips and chips and chips. I'll buy another TW.
  21. As someone else said, read a book. I also play golf once a week in the summer months. Can totally forget about everything else in the world, when playing. Just come back from a 4 day golfing holiday, and never thought about work once.
  22. you can call your business what ever you want, and don't have to register it. If you want to become Ltd, then you do need to register with companies house. Don't over-complicate things. Decide on a business trading name, tell your accountant (if you have one) and get business cards, adverts, etc printed in that name. Simple, as that (I think)
  23. Used them in the mid 80's saw. Have not used one since. I'd certainly buy a bar/chain for it, as long as it's running ok. Was a great saw in its day
  24. I'd recommend Chris. Great, honest, safety conscious lad.
  25. About the authors. Red Pepper is a magazine of political rebellion and dissent, influenced by socialism, feminism and green politics. Need I say anymore. Left wing propaganda. Utter rubbish
