Would you buy another 460?

Heard lots of good reports about FSI

Thanks, I was looking at a bandit or the cheaper Predetor

So, I used to have a Rayco RG25, and grinding was hard work. Looking at a new grinder with central pivot. Never used one before, but wondering just how much easier does it make it using a central pivot?

Thujopsis dolabrata, I think

I run a new 550 on a 18" and it blows away the old 346 on a 15" bar

I chuck everything behind the 2 front seats of the pickup. Waterproofs, ropes, harness, spikes, flask, bait box. Toolbox. Its a bloody mess, but I never forget anything!

Can't think of a better metal instrumental

I've still got my old laser powermax2. Simple to use. Tesoro and laser seem to be in the minority now with many using minelab. But in the 90's they were very popular.

Been talking to a few other local tomato growers up here, and most seem to have had a similar problem
-
Worked there for 3 months in mid 90's, whilst on work placement from college

Tomatoes are rubbish this year. Flowers not setting. Cucumbers great. Lettuces going well and good crop of beetroot

Dad used to have a border (bitch). Lovely dog, quite a character. But, it did not like other dogs, or people it didn't know. Ok once it knew you. And all it thought of was food, food, food.

Done masses of spraying over the last 30 years. Used CP, Solo and Berthoud, and I can honestly say that Berthoud is by far the best I have used, followed by Solo, lastly CP

That's exactly what I do with the Thor. Nearby table and someone to put rings on table. My back hates been bent over. Auto return a godsend as well.

Mine runs fine straight from socket, but won't run off an extension lead

I bought the electric Thor 8.5 ton splitter. Can't fault it.

I was working at a caravan club site and the assistant warden told me he knew a bloke who served on HMS Wensleydale. I thought that was unlikely as it was only a small ship with a crew of around 160. And it was now nearly 60 years since the ship was in service. Anyhow, he gave me Reg's contact number and I went down to visit him. Arriving at his house, I noticed a calender on the wall, it was still on the March page, even though it was now September. I asked Reg and his wife why they still had it on the March. They both said they liked the March photo so much they keep it on all year. Believe it or not, the photo was of the very small Yorkshire village of Thwaite, where I lived in at the time. Our house clearly visible on the photo. I figured me and Reg were meant to meet.

I've read quite a few books about Changi, the copper mines and the aptly named hell ships. Your grandfather must have gone through a truly hellish experience. The way they were treated was shocking. I once read a book called 'One for every sleeper' about a POW"s experiences at the hands of the Japanese. I got so absorbed in it, I read it from cover to cover in a day.

I run a website about the WW2 Hunt class destroyer, HMS Wensleydale. I met a chap called Reg who served on the ship, and previously served on HMS Bulldog. In may 41 Bulldog along with a couple of other ships captured U-110. Reg was ordered into a boat and rowed over to U-110 before she finally sank. Below in the U-boat the found and recovered the boats enigma machine. The first time a U-boat had been boarded. Reg still had a few mementos he took from the boat. It's quite well documented what breaking the enigma codes did to shorten the war.

Tomatoes and lettuce coming along ok. Also growing cucumber for the first time, at wife's request. I hate the stuff. Got some perpetual spinach coming through in pots to plant out in raised bed later

Many a time I've thought what would have happened if that bullit was a few inches to the left and got him in the head. No Mother, no me and no kids??

Following on from them stories. My grandfather was in WW2 and ended up being machine gunned and shot through the shoulder. His mate next to him got it in the head and was killed. He told me many stories (and was also my idol). How they were held up at Caan for a month, meeting the Russians at Lubeck, who he described as 'bloody awful'

Won an Oscar for his role. A real life cowboy and world rodeo champion I think. He also wrote a book which I would like to get hold of sometime.
