A bit of both really. Standing up for the Falkland islanders was a plus point, which did her chances of re-election the world of good. Standing up to The EU was another plus point. I thought the selling of council houses was a great mistake. Great if you were in a position to buy one cheap, but short term gain, long term pain.

Jan-Michael Vincent dies age 74. RIP. Remember him from the 1980's in Airwolf and also from a small appearance in The Undefeated with John Wayne.

Was well worth watching. Only took him a morning to do it. Then went back to his camper van and did the "chinups". -

If it's a CH25, it should have a 25hp Kohler engine and twin rollers, not 20hp and a single, roller, unless I'm mistaken. At least,that's what mine has.

I'm stockpiling Vitamin D. So much scaremongering going on, I'm not sure the sun's going to rise, the moment we leave.

Don't mess with a one-armed stranger!

Personally, I thought The Searchers was John Wayne's best performance. Rio Bravo (Walter Brennan is brilliant as usual) She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and Chisum ( both with the great Ben Johnson) are all in my top Wayne films. Chisum is also one of my favourite's, but never gets more than a couple of stars in film reviews. Red River is also a classic Wayne film, again with 3 times Oscar winner, Walter Brennan. Loved John Wayne as a kid in the late 70's.

A predominately outside and varied work life. How has yours been?

They were a pretty large outfit when I worked for them. I could be wrong, but around 900 employees seems to be stuck somewhere in my head. -

Age 15. Took a job with EFG (Economic Forestry Group) in 1985, rather than a £25 a week apprentice gamekeeper. Lots of planting, fence maintenance, Brashing, and a thing they called oceanic thinning. Never was quite sure what that meant. But we just thinned the trees and left them in the woods. Got laid off in 1990, and made Wensleydale cheese for about a year. Got my old job back, with the forestry firm (name now changed to Tihhill Economic Forestry) Different name,same job. Always looking at the clock waiting for home time. Lasted about another year. Left and did NC Arb at Myerscough with Gerald Bonner et al. Left there and did HND Arb at Houghall for a couple of years. Left in 95,and started up by myself. Been doing it ever since. -
Yes, it is. But my daughter had it when she was only 14 or 15.

Had shingles a long time ago.19 at the time. Started with a severe pain in my left upper ribcage. Felt like I was being stabbed every time I coughed. Then, blisters appeared, not in left ribcage, but on lower right kidney area.

iv'e got solar iboost. Great idea. Bought mine separate from panals and local electrician fitted it.

I've noticed the dyneema flatten out. Don't know if I dare check the drum now? would this happen with wire rope if it was not coiled in perfect?
-
Could you elaborate why you think dyneema would damage the drum. Im a bit lost, or possibly a bit thick!! The wire rope just did my head in with linking, and I much prefer the dyneema, but I don't want to recommend it or use it if it may damage the drum.
-
I have one. Run it on a 372. Had it about 8 years now. Very reliable. I think I made a few comments in previous comments. Try doing an arbtalk search. Their fine for pulling trees or piles of branches up hill and for aiding the felling of small trees. Swap the standard wire rope for dyneema rope. This avoids the wire rope kinking. Don't try felling large trees with them. Stick with the tirfor as you have more control.

Looks like some type of Ganoderma to me Chris.

Husqvarna 154. Back in 1985. Was working as part of a forestry squad. Rest Of the lads were running husqvarna 444's I think

I'm sorry, perhaps it's my age, but British comedy isn't a patch on what it was years ago. Rising Damp re-runs still take some beating. like someone else said, American Comedy shows are streets ahead at the moment.
